More Than a Numbers Game by Thomas A King
In More Than a Numbers Game, practitioner and financial expert Tom King examines the key issues and events that have transformed accounting from a tool used by 19th century American railroad managers to communicate with absent British investors into an enabler of corporate fraud during the 2002 telecom crash.
THOMAS A. KING is treasurer of Progressive Insurance, which is regarded as one of the most innovative companies in the insurance business. He grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, and studied liberal arts at Harvard College. King worked for three years on the New York audit staff of Arthur Andersen & Co., earned an MS in accounting from New York University, and obtained CPA and CMA certification.

Since then, he has served as corporate controller, investment strategist, and treasurer. At Progressive, King helped craft financial policies that support business objectives and managed investor relations when the company became the first to report monthly financial results.
