Mark to market, also called fair value accounting, has been one of the most controversial accounting methodologies in financial reporting.

Findings of the 9/11 Commission Report

One of the major findings of the commission is the gross ignorance by the Bush administration about the intelligence warnings, and it was reported by other sources that the president made little effort to improve or prevent domestic attacks.

The lack to heed to the intelligence reports may be attributed to the failure of the portended "millennium attacks" President Clinton had been warned. Security at the airports and borders had been enhanced, and ...
