Research accounting, management, and business-related questions. The product provided you usually would include links to websites that answer the questions you are asking. In addition to the links, I will provide what I feel is appropriate interpretation and analysis, based on discussions with you about your needs and expectations. My many years of experience as an analyst for the Defense Department, in which I responded to hundreds of requests for information and analysis, give me good insights into what a search project requires, to be successfully completed. The research that I do is supported by my Management Accounting Information Center (MAIC) website, from which hundreds of websites with relevant management, accounting, and business information can be linked to. I do extensive research to find additional relevant sites. You can find these links by going to my homepage (click home above, left) and then click “Links, RSS Feeds, and Ads”. 2. Research and analyze economic development issues in countries and communities. A recent project requiring extensive Internet researching and analysis, followed by an onsite visit to a small island in the South Pacific, has given me experience and insight into economic development issues in third world communities and countries. I am available to build upon this experience by researching the Internet and analyzing found relevant information in an effort to improve communities’ economic development. 3.
