The research by some biologists and doctors suggest that human skin completely renews itself every seven years! That means when I make my first appearance at the CAAA Annual Meeting since 2012, I will be a completely different person than I was then, or at least I will have new skin to put in the game!

But seriously it will be fun to be back! There looks like there are a lot of new faces at the Conference, hopefully some are readers of this blog or will be after the Conference!

The main responsibility I have is to introduce the 2019 Winner of the Haim Falk Award for Distinguished Accounting Thought, Dr. Yves Gendron of Laval University ( universitie Laval). Haven’t quite figured out how to introduce Yves with justice in a minute but he is a VERY deserving winner of the Award!
