I took a little offense to that auditor comment, @PabloTorre!

This is why it’s important to teach gross sales vs net sales.

A teenage game dev only received $2,000 from a joke game he made, despite it generating $1.3 million in Steam sales

More than 6,700 people bought the game before refunding it within Steam's two-hour window

A classroom is only a professional setting if you’re paid to be there. The student is the one paying. Bonnets and durags do not distract from learning. There are times when we need to teach our students the expectations of professional dress, but not in every class.

[Brian Rashad FKA Kodaq 🇳🇬 @KingBrianRashad]

Why DO black people fight so hard for the right to wear bonnets in professional/academic spaces.

Bonus points if you can explain this without mentioning what white people do

Might need to reconsider my long-standing belief of "Money isn't real, but debt is".

Has anyone else's Canvas been hacked?

Back in my audit days, I could certainly relate! The key was getting suits with thicker fabric and owning more than two suits. The other trick was buying your suits with an extra pair of slacks.

Weird thing for them to incorporate into Microsoft Excel which, myself aside, is largely not used for entertainment!

In accounting, we call this concept “Going Concern”.

Modern CPAs must be versatile!

The cost of inventory means he’s not even making the dollar. He should probably charge $5.

And it’s unfortunate because a trained professional with AI tools is likely more efficient than one without. However, an untrained professional with AI may have a false sense of confidence when at best they’re handling preconscribed problems with predetermined solutions.

[nickmitchCPA @nickmitchCPA]

Something I’ve noticed about student use of AI tools is that they’re essentially outsourcing both the critical thinking and technical skills they’ve come to the university to learn and failing to develop them.

[Alvaro Santos Pereira @santospereira_a]

The OECD just published an important report on the impact of AI on education. This should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in the topic.

According to this report, Gen AI has huge potential to help both teachers and students, improving their creativity, productivity and performance. Gen AI has also the potential to enhance tutoring and teaching quality, support collaborative learning, as well as improve student pass rates.
Thus, AI has truly the potential to dramatically change education and our education systems.

However, there are also several risks that we should be aware.
For instance, in one randomized experience mentioned by the report, access to Gen AI tools improved performance in maths by about 48%, but students performed 17% worse once access was removed (graph below).

In other words, while Gen AI can be a great education tool, it is essential that we develop purpose-built tools for education that make students and teachers active participants and not passive consumers.

As the OECD, rightly emphasizes, “the challenge for policymakers is to ensure that GenAI is a learning partner and not a learning shortcut.”
A must read.

I mean, technically that’s either inventory or PPE. Sounds pretty capitalizable either way.

Accounting, believe it or not. the underemployment rate is about as low as for mechanical engineering majors. everyone is scared off because they think it requires great math skill when it doesn't. everyone thinks AI will devour the field when it can't, either :)

I was a manager at 28. Though that’s pretty normal in Audit.

[aaLuminati 👁 @SpoiledAaLona]

Nobody is manager at your job at 33. Your parents weren’t managers at their jobs at 33, but you’re baffled at why I said 33 years old is wild to be a Mayor?

It is indeed abnormal.
Y’all please.
