'Must' Reading for CPAs.......1999-01-16

The 1999 Guide to Electronic commerce Assurance Services , by Karl D. Nagel and Glen L. Gray is "must" reading for anyone considering or currently performing assurance services for computer networks or related Internet Web sites. The savings of time from reading and use of forms and processes in the book will exceed the cost of the book by multiples over 10 fold. If I had the content of the book before I ventured into promoting and providing WebTrust and related Internet services over a year ago, I could have saved my firm thousands of dollars. Currently, the book is the "Bible" for providing WebTrust services. The content includes material that should have been provided by the AICPA prior to the introduction of WebTrust services in the fall of 1997. This book is the best, most comprehensive and complete source for WebTrust providers. If a CPA wants to take advantage of the extraordinary rapid Internet use growth, the book should be read.

A Must for CPAs.......1999-01-16

Forward thinkers in the CPA community believe that the traditional financial statement audit services performed by CPAs will die out in the future. As the speed of information increases the audited financial statement, prepared months after a company's year end, becomes less meaningful. As banks, regulators, and customers begin to gain access to real-time financial information, the integrity of systems that produce that information becomes the important issue. Accordingly, CPAs must prepare for the new demands that will be made upon them.

Also, as indicated above, ECAS is potentially a substantial source of fees, capitalizing on the trust the public has in CPAs, and upon the CPA's skill set.

This book is an essential tool for the CPA that wants to build an ECAS practice.

A Valuable Tool for Web Site Operators

A large part of this book is devoted to the analysis of electronic transaction systems. IS managers responsible for building and maintaining e-commerce systems, and e-commerce systems software, can use this book as a guide to building controls necessary for a secure system. Certainly, any Web site that wants to be awarded a CPA WebTrust seal will want to use part five of the book to determine if the Web site will pass an examination. The book can guide a company on the system controls necessary to earn a CPA WebTrust seal.

Conclusions

Overall, a good book, and one that belongs in the library of every CPA that performs auditing services and wants to be on the cutting edge of services to the rapidly increasing e-commerce industry. This is also a valuable book for Web site operators that want to insure their systems are safe and secure.

This a fascinating, beautifully photographed, colorful field guide to some incredible creatures that crawl, climb, hop and swim in Hawaii.

This is a very comprehensive guide to seattle. all visitors should buy it.

Ever since Alice arrived at first grade dressed as a hobbit and endured a week of increasingly violent peer rejection, she has been home schooled by her hippie mom and indifferent dad, leaving her with what her therapist calls "a shocking poverty of age-appropriate real-life experience." Now Alice's inept new therapist, Death Lord Bob, has cornered her into agreeing to go to the public high school. Actually, this fits right in with Alice's career aspirations to become a cultural critic, and her eighties style statement would be working out pretty much all right (especially after she gets a great haircut somewhat by accident) if it weren't for her old nemesis Linda, now grown seriously homicidal, and her two head banger henchmen. Alice's sensible observations are a rich source of humor in this very funny first novel, as she tries to get her life together in spite of the peculiar aberrations of the "normal" teen and adult population of Smithers, a small ingrown town in British Columbia where entertainment opportunities are limited to excuse-to-drink events like the Northern Saddle Sores' Family Trail Ride. Her mother is the kind of tie-dye clad woman who holds a sage-burning ceremony for safety before starting out on a back-to-school shopping trip, and her friends include bookstore owner Corinne, who is allergic to books. Her romance-writing father's poker cronies are equally colorful: gay but style-challenged Finn and taxi-owning Marcus, who has a succession of twenty-years-younger girlfriends who need a ride. When Alice's sullen girl cousin Frank arrives, a parents' nightmare with her bizarre outfits and stuffed-animal backpack filled with bottles and baggies, Alice observes the resulting hullabaloo with amused satisfaction, and after a hilarious, precarious car trip to a Fish Show and Drum Workshop, she finds herself well on the way to acquiring a friend and a boyfriend. Older teens will enjoy the story and the many descriptions of wacky clothes if they can get past the misguided cover, a picture of five-year-old Alice's chubby hobbit-clad legs. (Ages 12 and older) --Patty Campbell

Hilarious and Memorable.......2007-01-12

Alice went to kindergarten dressed as a Hobbit. Her classmates teased her relentlessly. Her parents then decided to homeschool her for the next ten years. There's nothing like a reintroduction to the school system at age sixteen.

Everyone around Alice is a little . . . unique. Her mom loves all things New Age, her dad is kind - and often kindly described as a slacker, and her little brother is a brainiac. Her dad's friends are mismatched yet loyal, her guidance counselor is a hippie, and her new school is an alternative learning center.

Alice MacLeod is an offbeat Anastasia Krupnik. Alice, I Think is the first book in a series of stories about this quirky girl. All of them are written in diary format, and all of them will make readers laugh out loud. Recommended to readers of The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot and The Actual Real Reality of Jennifer James by Gillian Shields.

Kind of bland.......2006-09-05

This book, although mildly humorous in a sarcastic way at times, is pretty bland. Being a slightly negative and sarcastic person myself, I am not against blunt people who "tell it like it is." However, Alice is too over the top in her negativity. When i finish a book, I like to get something more out of it than just "oh, here's a story about a naive and condescending girl who is constantly surrounded by hippy-idiots and everything about her life sucks." I like books with a slightly deeper meaning. I know that sounds corny, but it's true. Another thing that I didn't like about this book is how unfairly it portrays hippies. Come on, not all feminists who eat organic food and do spiritual stuff like yoga are that stupid and idiotic. Alice is a bit hard on her mother. I mean, her mother actually doesn't seem that bad, just a little wierd at times. Anyway, this is an OK book but it really isn't that great.

Alice I think?? .......2006-08-16

I loved this book Alice was very quirky and like nothing I have ever read before, I am a huge fan of this book, her parents and their friends they are so neat. I live in British Columbia and I know where smithers is! How crazy!

HOWEVER! THE TV SERIES SUCKS! I watched the 3rd or 4th episode into the series and i was so dissapointed because miss smithers is a while other book and they were including it into alice I think I was very dissapointed nd they didn't do all the events in order. TSK TSK. oh well I enjoyed the books but afterwatching a few of the tv 1/2 hour shows I dont think i will read the books again it just became a big dissapointment for me. especailly the actress that plays alice- did anyone feel the same way?? she just didn't fit the part. I saw the back cover with the authors picture and that is pretty much how I pictured alice but younger.

Manic diary of a self-absorbed social outcast .......2006-07-12

This is a hilarious YA novel in diary form, following the adventures of 15-year-old Alice, an inflated egomaniac with a bad attitude and an even worse haircut. She has a deep-rooted sense of entitlement from her hippie parents, who unwisely homeschooled her after she was menaced by another first-grader, until her counselor thought going back to public high school would be a good idea. Really the only functional person in the family is appealing and surprisingly normal MacGregor, Alice's 10-year-old brother, whom everyone else in the family depends on to manage things.

Alice begins the diary without any friends but does develop a list of life goals, such as "decide on a unique and innovative career path (to get helping professionals off my back)." But she is fired from her bookstore job after suspiciously following the customers to catch them stealing. The book is full of minor characters such as such Corinne, the owner of the Mountain Lighthouse Brambleberry Bookstore, who wears a filter mask over her face because of her "chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and multiple chemical sensitivity disorder," and is the only one allowed to use the Management Washroom because the nontoxic toilet paper and soap are so expensive. There are so many laugh-out-loud send-ups of various modern "types" that the book holds a lot of appeal for adults as well as teens. It's kind of a girl version of C.D. Payne's "Youth in Revolt."

With not much going for her in real life, she relishes the wounds she receives when her first-grade nemesis, the psycho Linda, reappears and beats the crap out of her. Drunken family trail rides, a brief romance with an even more self-absorbed and narcissistic boy, and commentary about her hippie mother and slacker father's friends keep this diary careening along at a breakneck pace.

Wacky.......2006-06-20

This book is so cool. I loved the way Alice saw the world and life! It is so different then the way I see things! I thought it was hilarious. It was so funny I laughed out loud during SATs when I was reading it!
