Merry Christmas.

I have a little Christmas gift to you from the Library: we've got a new resource called Osiris.  It's brought to you by the same people who supply the FAME database so the look of it won't be unfamiliar.  The major difference compared to FAME is that it covers global company information.  So now you are not limited to just looking at UK companies, you can choose a company from wherever you like!

Wishing you all a relaxing break and I'll see you in the New Year.

Auditors can't hide from FAME.

FAME now includes wide-ranging coverage of senior auditors.  You can now search for companies by the individual who signed of the most recent audit using all or part of a surname.

 Over 113,000 company VAT numbers and the accounting reference date (indicating when the next set of annual accounts is due to be filed) have been added to Fame. To view this information click on the ‘Legal and accounts info’ tab in the company report.   

Access to FAME via the Library catalogue, or from the Accountancy Subject Guide pages on LRWeb. 

Easy as Pie - the FAME database

The FAME database allows you to manipulate company information as PIE Charts. Depicted on the left are the Top Ten Airline Companies in the UK. If you want advice on how to do this contact me.

I will be doing sessions on the database for Accountancy students
