Podcast Comments

"I truly enjoyed the quality and depth of the roundtable discussion in episode 101. The freeform discussion and perspective of the participants was engrossing."
- Mike Rosenberg, GAAP Reporting Team, Allstate Investments

"I find your podcasts informative and a great addition to my continuing professional education. Sometimes, I forward them to my staff and ask them to listen to the podcast and then discuss how we can implement or improve our internal processes based on the podcast."
- David Zatlukal, Treasurer, J.H. Whitney Capital Partners

"I love listening to your podcasts, especially your discussion about internal controls and the fast close. Your podcasts are the best I have ever heard and helped me a lot, many thanks."
- James Shephard

"I would like to thank you for the podcast you are making. I am an accountant in Frankfurt, Germany, and a regular listener of your podcast. Although we produce our accounts under German GAAP, I have found the information you have been publishing to be very useful." - Nikolaos Thomas

"This is simply the best accounting podcast available. The infomation is practical and useful today, in addition to exploring emerging accounting issues. Don't get trapped in the office. Use the ABP podcast on your commute to shorten your month end close, improve controls and go home at a decent hour. If you're an accountant at any level, you owe this podcast a listen." - Mark Polino
