Whilst I was a partner for over 20 years with Ernst & Young, Inter alia, I acted as Chairman of the Firm's Japanese Practice, Head of the Mutual Funds and Unit Trusts Practice and held the positions of the firm's Director of Accounting and Auditing and Director of Personnel and Professional Development. I was instrumental in bringinh our Taiwan Practice, Diwan and Company, in as a Member Firm and set up an independant MNC ("Multinational Clients") unit in Diwan & Company.
One of the major projects I undertook whilst I was a Financial Policies Analyst was Inflation Accounting or Current Costs Accounting. The Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December, 1975 were restated using the concept of current costs methodology. A paper, Inflation Accounting, was pudlished. This exercise, similar to Fair Value Accounting, was put to test 30 years before Fair Value Accounting was codified.
