Regarding the narrator ...
"I could be wrong, I could be right ... " from Rise (Lydon/Laswell)
But anyway ... I presently teach Earnings Management Detection (A564), Selected Topics in Financial Accounting (A504), and Internal Control Systems (A574) at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, USA (Think: 3.5 hours or so south of Chicago). I've previously taught courses in financial accounting and analysis, auditing, and managerial accounting at Michigan State University, University of Illinois at Chicago, Purdue University; as well as asset pricing theory, financial modeling and forecasting, and business valuation at Indiana University (through its online programs).
My research focuses on how equity traders use financial statement components subject to managerial discretion, how managers use such discretion optimally, and on equilibrium models of professional labor markets. My research has been published in Review of Accounting & Finance and Managerial Finance, and I've written a number of monographs included in professional publications and books.
In addition to my academic experience, I also have over 15 years of professional experience from employment in public accounting, commercial credit (analysis), and consulting. My experience includes work in financial accounting, financial analysis and modeling, and econometric analysis for firms in the manufacturing, food processing, technology, real estate, and financial services industries, as well as financial institutions and their regulatory agencies.
I still consult on such matters occasionally, but most of my recent consulting work relates to financial modeling, econometric analysis, forecasting, equity valuation and portfolio construction.
One might get a better idea of these things by looking at my academic website, a copy of my curriculum vitae, or a transcript of an interview I gave to Beta Alpha Psi a number of years ago.
Thank you very much for your interest in the site. I hope you find it as useful and enjoyable in the reading as I do in the writing!
Best regards,
Malcolm McLelland

I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be black
I could be white
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be white
I could be black
Your time has come
Your second skin
The cost so high
The gain so low
Walk through the valley
The written word is a lie
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be right
II could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be right
could be black
I could be white
I could be right
I could be wrong
I could be black
I could be white
They put a hot wire to my head
Cos of the things I did and said
They made these feelings go away
Model citizen in every way
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
Anger is an energy
I could be wrong

Your time has come your second skin
Cost so high the gain so low
Walk through the valley
The written word is a lie
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
May the road rise with you
I could be wrong
I could be right
I could be wrong
They put a hot wire to my head
Cos of the things I did and said
They made these feelings go away
A model citizen in every way
Your time has come your second skin
Cost so high the gain so low
May the road rise with you
