Accounting and Finance - Accounting and Finance Related News and Information

Accounting and finance are an unusual mix of old and new principles operating in a dynamic environment, so that the application of the basic principles is constantly changing and evolving. MBA students should be particularly aware of the news Web sites. These will range from general news sites that include some business information to specific sites that only produce industry-specific news items. Most industries have these and one for the accounting industry is listed below as the main example. The general news sites can often be the best way to access timely information on the dynamic business environment, as they are updated as news arrives throughout the day.

AccountingWeb
