Cost Accounting, Research in Progress Developing a discordant measure to quantify the similarity or difference between financial information (with William Karstens, Department of Physics). The paper evaluates the from successive fiscal periods use of vector-based distance measures to measure the difference or distance between two sets of accounting data. Such a measure could be used by auditors as an analytical procedure, by internal auditors in continuous monitoring environments, by regulators wishing to quantify the difference between successive financial statements, and by standard setting bodies to quantify the effect of new accounting statements or a change to International Financial Reporting Standards. The relationship between Benford’s Law and the seismic signals generated by the Tsunami earthquake on December 26, 2004. We analyze the seismic signals recorded by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, NY around the time of the powerful earthquake off the west coast of northern Sumatra. The displacement and velocity data for the 10 hour period conforms reasonably closely to Benford’s Law.
