Raj asked me following questions:
- What is the difference between Stumbleupon and SPOCK?
- What is meant by Feed,in one of your article you mentioned about RSS Feed.
I believe that most of the readers of Management Accountant Blog will have similar questions.
Stumbleupon: If you want to buy a TV, you will look for an expert guide on the features, price, competition analysis, ratings and so on and forth. And then you decide which one to buy. However, now a days, you will look for the reviews made by the ordinary users who have bought the actual product. More the reviews you are better informed to make decisions. Stumbleupon works on same concept. Click here to know more
Easy to Use, Community-based surfing:
The StumbleUpon Toolbar is integrated with the user’s browser to allow for one-click access to quality web sites. A simple 2-level rating system gives users the opportunity to pass on or give their opinion on any webpage with a single click. These ratings also connect people sharing unique combinations of interests. Stumblers share their favorite web sites and interact with other users to further improve their web surfing experience.
Spock: Spock is the first editable search engine for finding people on the web. You may be participating in lot of forums and are in the news quite often. All these information are fragmented.
E.g.
- You have blog or a website,
- Professional network using linkedin,
- Have your Accounting Firm’s website
- Actively participate in a photography discussion forums
- And you are in news for doing a promoting your profession.
The people who know closely only know about you. Spock will help people to know about you. with a search on the internet. If you are a accountant or Consultant in practise then Spock is one of the best way to promote yourself.

I found the website
www.sezwho.com as I was browsing
www.blogcatalog.com. As I read about sezwho, I realised that this is website had perfect add-on to blend with the blog for readers to rate the contents. Rating and commenting on individual posts by readers of
MA blog will help me to improve the contents of the blog and tune it for readers requirements.
What is SezWho ?
SezWho enables content ratings, universal contributor profiles, and reputation-weighted content discovery to be added to blogs, forums, message boards, user reviews, or any other place where readers and contributors interact. SezWho works with most social media platforms and it does not replace the site.s comment system or host any site content.
Readers can discover relevant and credible content, contributors gain a web-wide recognition for their efforts, and site owners can drive traffic while engaging their community.
I would request the readers of Management Accountant blog to comment on the posts and rate them. Your feedback will help me to enhance and improve the blog contents which in turn will benefit everyone of us. Moreover I will recommend sezwho add for your blog, if you are also blogging.

The Combined Code on Corporate Governance sets out standards of good practice in relation to issues such as board composition and development, remuneration, accountability and audit and relations with shareholders.
All companies incorporated in the UK and listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange are required under the Listing Rules to report on how they have applied the Combined Code in their annual report and accounts. Overseas companies listed on the Main Market are required to disclose the significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from those set out in the Code.
The Combined Code contains broad principles and more specific provisions. Listed companies are required to report on how they have applied the principles of the Code, and either to confirm that they have complied with the Code’s provisions or – where they have not – to provide an explanation.
Source: Financial Reporting Council
The rule is principle based (voluntary) to encourage the companies to follow the best practises.

As a finance professional do you any best practise for yourself. I feel the best practices for Finance Professionals would be:
- Follow the Ethics and Standards of your Accounting Body and IFAC.
- Participate in Workplace and Forum (both physical and virtual), question intelligently, debates constructively and challenge rigorously.
- Support Executives in their leadership of the business.
- Listen sensitively to the views of others
- Continually develop and refresh knowledge and skills. Share knowledge with others.
- Plan your work and deliver as per schedule.
- Actively Network with Accounting Fraternity and with the business.
- Set career goals and work towards achieving it.
- Promote myself as a professional so that people around and the world know that I exists. Volunteer for tasks that are challenging.
- Take 25 holidays every year and go places to see something new places. This is a good way not to get burn out by following the above 9 points. More important…. Have Fun.
