The Armond Dalton family, the auditing profession, and audit education lost a great friend, mentor, and leader with the passing of Alvin A. Arens in December 2010. Al′s leadership at national and international levels, and his commitment to expanding knowledge through the development of educational materials, resources, articles, and cases, profoundly impacted students and professionals in auditing.

Armond Dalton Publishers lost an author and a friend – Jason Porter, author of Using Excel for Business Decisions and Excel-Based Decisions in Managerial Accounting, passed away unexpectedly on August 23, 2023. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family, and his long-time writing partner, Teresa Stephenson. Jason had an infectious laugh that will be remembered by everyone who knew him.
