Also related to my work on Product Cost Systems in the Caucasus and the Balkans, I was interviewed at Channel 4 Studios in London by the Einstein Network for the CPD series in Business and Management.

Following my Product Cost Systems work in the Caucasus and the Balkans, I wrote an article for CIMA's Financial Management magazine outlining the work that I did.

Benford's Law has been a fascination for me for a few years now and I have just put together a summary article for the ICAEW's Accountancy magazine, to be published shortly
You can still buy and read my first book: Cost and Management Accounting published by Prentice Hall ISBN 0-13-205923-1
Are you thinking about or in the process of starting your own business? John Blake and I put together a very useful book just for you. All about the businesses you could start, your bookkeeping, business planning, budgeting. 64 pages of excellent help and advice.
I'm currently writing Finance for the Non Financial Manager for eCademy Publishers

Want to read one of the best of its kind on the web? Take a look at the ratio analysis pages I wrote for Biz/ed then!
I worked for Europe's major Nuclear Fusion organisations for a while sorting out their intranet. It had grown like Topsy and it took a while to sort out but by the end of it I had other organisations from Italy, France and Scandinavia asking to be included!! Sorry, it's an intranet so I can't take you there but here's a couple of examples of the what I faced and what I did about it.
I was commissioned to write some interactive spreadsheets on a variety of topics. Take a look at them and the supporting documentation I wrote. Note: these are old now and predate hyperlinks in Excel!
Delegates to my International Financial Reporting Standards training course in Bosnia asked me to write a case study that they could use with their students. I think this is a classic that should be owned and run by all business schools and departments around the world … it's for sale and there's an example for you to try before you buy.
I was at the forefront of developments of the Central Asian Accounting Curriculum Reform project in 2002. Take a look at www.cipaen.org to see what we achieved. Open up this PDF for more specific information.
