Accounting lecture made by Abraham Briloff ('37), Emanuel Saxe Distinguished Professor of Accountancy emeritus at Baruch College. Abe has been a part of Baruch College since the 1930s when he was the prize pupil of the revered Emanuel Saxe. He received his BBA in 1937 and was first appointed to the faculty full time in 1944. In 1976 Briloff was named Emanuel Saxe Distinguished Professor of Accountancy. He retired from Baruch's Stan Ross Department of Accountancy in 1987. In the 1990's, he was among the very first to sound the alarm over self-serving and corrupt practices that damaged the integrity of accountancy, helped spawn the Enron debacle, and led, ultimately, to the reforms of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Private-Equity (PE) firms play a unique role in the economy, acting as financial sponsors of American corporations. When they take an ownership stake in a company, PE firms bring capital and expertise. In the shadow of the 2012 Presidential Election, many are asking who benefits from the actions of PE firms. Those who are critical of PE firms cite special tax breaks that allow PR firms to treat their profits as lightly taxed capital gain. Defenders, point out that PE firms make money for their investors. The question is: Who is telling the truth? Our guest speaker, Professor Aswath Damodaran of NYU’s Stern School of Business, will address these questions and others in this lecture. The title of his presentation is "Private Equity: Beynod the "Story-telling."
