Deen Kemsley, PhD

Intro

Deen Kemsley has long been one of the leading accounting and finance trainers in New York, and he has conducted expert witness services in several tax and accounting cases.  He is an award-winning instructor from Columbia Business School, Yale School of Management, and now Tulane University.  Key investment banks view him as a “must-have” trainer.  Gary Crittenden, Chief Financial Officer for Citigroup, indicates “I have heard Deen Kemsley teach and speak many times and have always felt he may well be the most effective teacher I have ever known.”  In addition, Deen has published several high-profile articles in top finance, economics, and accounting journals, including the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Accounting Research, the Journal of Public Economics, and the Accounting Review.

Training Services

MBA students, stock analysts, bond analysts, and consultants all know Professor Kemsley for his instructing abilities. He earned the Dean's Teaching Award at Columbia Business School in 1998, Columbia University's coveted Singhvi Teaching Award for Scholarship in the Classroom in 1999, and seven top teaching awards at Tulane University from 2004 to 2008. In New York and elsewhere, he has conducted training for Morgan Stanley for each of the past ten years.  Other clients have included Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, BNP Paribas, Computer Sciences Corporation, and Sapient Consulting.

Expert Witness

In addition to his academic background, Deen brings a wealth of business experience to his expert witness work.  He earned a CPA in April, 1984, worked as a registered securities representative for a financial planning firm (1985-1986), and as a manager for CPA giant Coopers & Lybrand from 1987 to 1991.  With experience in both taxation and accounting, the Department of the Treasury engaged him to write expert reports on accounting issues in tax cases.  In 2006-2007, a federal judge qualified him as expert in accounting and accounting standards in a case where he wrote an expert report, gave deposition, and testified regarding a consolidated accounting standard. More recently, he addressed GAAP accounting for asset impairments in a Texas Franchise Tax case, and he addressed tax preparer responsibilities in a large tax shelter case.
