Moo-vers and shakers

Article Abstract:

Two chartered accountants from British Columbia have successfully made the transition from being accounting professionals to managers of a cow-themed ice cream parlor called Cow's. Kent Caulfield left his job as corporate audit manager with Ernst and Young after receiving a catalog of the store and deciding that a career in retailing is calling him. Sharon Card Iles, on the other hand, decided to open her Cow's store in Whistler, British Columbia after reading an article about Caulfield's store in Vancouver.

Foreigner exchange favourite

Article Abstract:

Russian accountant Tatiana Tchoudnikova was one of the participants who successfully completed a six-week exchange program sponsored by the York University in Toronto, Canada. During the program, Tchoudnikova familiarized herself with Canadian accounting standards. She discovered that these standards were very similar to ones she encounters in Russia. A major difference that she found beneficial was the type of computer software Canadians use, which are simpler than those in Russia.
