Happy Valentine's Day - an accounting music video from CPA Island

Take a creative idea about an auditor love song from FEI chief blogger (and Policy Analyst), Edith Orenstein add a talented CPA musician, Steven Zelin, The Singing CPA, a cadre of talented A-list accounting bloggers (comfortable with the latest social networking tools) and host it a virtual world for CPAs, here on CPA Island and you get this fun accounting music video.

It really has started people talking - see what they are saying:
