many accounting professionals are still grappling with mobile devices, social media and cloud computing. but the next big things are already being hyped and debated.

and even though they will take years to move into the practical realm for practitioners, it’s time to at least learn the buzz words and understand the concepts because these technologies have the potential for as much change and disruption as we’ve seen in the things we are still trying to understand during the current century.

survey: accountants’ best advice for president trump

floridian deborah budaj says, “i would discuss the timeline and plans for removing the burden of obamacare from businesses, and also from individual healthcare plans.”

martin j. rooney would like to see some assistance for the hoi poloi: “we need to find meaningful work for the non-college educated people.  it may require some form of government subsidy and hence taxes may need to rise, but without work, the forgotten people have no hope. they are not participating in the u.s. dream.”

there is, of course, no shortage of snide advice.

kless: we’re going to review the fundamentals of strategic pricing. what i’ve found fascinating about the subject of pricing is for as complex as it is, there are only three basic strategies. we’re going to review what those are and talk about where one might use one over the other and why they’re important to know. even if you don’t prescribe to one or the other or only ever use one strategy, it’s important to know what the three are.
