Professional Recognition

I am thankful to the Society of Louisiana Certified Public Accountants and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for recognizing my work in software systems development. Recognition by my peers encouraged me to continue my work and studies in accounting systems development and technology management.

If you would like to read about budgeting systems, there are several articles I authored on this site that address budgeting and information systems.  In addition, you can view two technology-related articles that were published in the Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma CPA journals.
