2014 Accounting Faculty Member: Clikeman, Paul M. Called to account: financial frauds that shaped the accounting profession. Click here to enter text. 2nd ed. Routledge, 2013. 371p bibl index afp ISBN 9780415630245, $200.00; ISBN 9780415630252 pbk, $60.70; ISBN 9780203097946 ebook, contact publisher for price ☐ Required If one were to write a history of the accounting profession in the US, a historian might compile a chronological record of key events, persons, legislation, and the like. Some within ☐ Recommended the profession might relate it to the economic history of the country, as Gary John Previts and Barbara Dubis Merino did with A History of Accounting in America (CH, Nov'98, 36-1669). Most modern accountants, however, perceive the evolution of the profession, at least in part, in light of its difficulties and failures. Clikeman has done a superb job of presenting this evolution through the masterfully told accounts of 16 of the most famous financial frauds. Starting with the Ivar Kreuger matchstick fraud of the early 20th century, Clikeman takes the reader through the major eras of the profession's history, revealing how specific financial scandals provided the stimulus for many key professional, legislative, and regulatory developments. This second edition (1st ed., CH, Aug'09, 46-6897) includes a new section dealing with recent events, including Parmalat, Satyam, and the recession. The book is extensively documented and includes suggested discussion questions and a full index. Summing Up: Essential. Accounting collections, upper-division undergraduate through professional. Faculty Member: Stone, Brad. The everything store: Jeff Bezos and the age of Amazon. Little, Brown, 2013. Click here to enter text. 372p index ISBN 9780316219266, $28.00 ☐ Required Arguably, there are three great stories that have emerged from the current age of technological innovation: Steve Jobs, the "Google fellows," and Jeff Bezos. Bloomberg ☐ Recommended Businessweek writer Stone employs a historian's approach in presenting Amazon in relentless detail flowing from the personality and focus of founder Jeff Bezos. This can lead to insights as well as mind-numbing detail: "Christopher Smith, a twenty-three-year-old warehouse temp with tattoos of Chinese characters on his forearms...." Amazon is presented as a triumph of small things done well in creating a global organization that is potentially on the threshold of even more exponential growth. Bezos is presented as a driven, detailed-oriented innovator focused on improving the customer experience at Amazon, which has grown as a function of Bezos's personality. Neither Steve Jobs, as presented by Walter Isaacson in Steve Jobs (CH, Apr'12, 49-4500), nor Bezos comes off as an average nice guy. How could they? The real lesson is that the "heroic entrepreneur" is captive to his/her vision and that most other things are secondary. Anyone wanting to learn about Jeff Bezos's remarkable development of Amazon and his ambition to make it "the everything store" will want to read this book. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
