Who would have thought accounting could be so interesting? Professor Les Heitgter of the Kelley School of Business discusses why accounting matters. All decisions are based on Knowledge, and decisions must be made because of the fact that there is not an unlimited amount of resources for any organization’s usage.
Encompasing 36 years, and 12,000+ students here at Indiana University as well as teaching visits to former Eastern Bloc nations, in this Interchange show Professor Heitger discusses his career and Standard Accounting Pratices. Host Dave Stewart and Professor Heitger discussed Forensic Accounting (which consists of fraud and litigation, etc.) and aspects of the “Dark Side” of Accounting, as well as family life off campus.
