The materials covered in the Marketing and Public Policy Field Experience Program are now posted under Course pages on this BBIC homepage. Good luck to all and email or call us with your research questions!
Starting May 29th we will be open in Bartley 2008 from 10a-12p Monday - Friday. We will adjust this schedule as needed (shorter or longer hours) over the summer. Otherwise, call or email the librarians, we are still on campus and working all summer.
We are open by appointment only for the rest of the semester and until Summer session hours are officially posted. Please email or call one of us to set up a meeting time or to discuss your research topic at this time.

Have perceived or real compromises to auditor independence arising out of non-audit services risen to a level warranting prohibitions? To find out what listed company executives and their auditors in Bahrain think, read Professor Wayne G.
