Much has been written about the use of colour in web design. Back in the day there were stark warnings. Pick as few as possible, seemed to be the general advice, and be sensible about your choices.
I covered the main points when I wrote about colour and web design five years ago. A lot of that advice still stands up but there has been a definite shift, and nowadays it seems that more and more designers are embracing colour like never before. The polychromatic web is upon us!
The combination of flat design and blocks of saturated colour is certainly a winning combination from where I'm sitting. It's a trend that is perhaps underpinned by the growing number of devices with retina screens in circulation.
A strong, clever use of colour can be great for branded web experiences, web apps of various flavours, and agency websites. That said, I'm not fully convinced that this design trend is ideal for retailers with hundreds or thousands of product pictures, as too much colour can be overpowering, but no doubt there are some good examples out in the wild.
So then, here are 24 websites and apps that are not remotely afraid of colour. See what you make of them, and be sure to share your views in the comments area below!
Colourful blocks / tiles
This is a definite web design trend, particularly among fans of flat design. Windows 8 has been rather influential, it seems, so let's start there...
Windows 8

Weather app
Weather widget
Yet another weather app!
Flat UI Colors
Ultimately, a lot of these examples remind me of colour palettes like this one...
Colourful bars
Some sites make great use of coloured stripes and bars. Here are a few examples...
I featured this colour weather app in a recent post on beautiful mobile design.
Coloured Lines
A super-colourful website...
Minimal Monkey
Svpply's mobile app
Daily Routine
Colourful backgrounds and washes
Some sites and apps go well beyond blocks and lines...
Scroll down and see the colour change. I bet you'll want to scroll back up again.
Blocks and washes galore, using gentler hues...
Red Bull Studios
Colourful cards
'Cards' are increasingly being used by web designers, for all manner of reasons, but perhaps largely due to the growth in mobile / smaller screens, and following on from the widgets that were all the rage in the Web 2.0 era. This is a good thing, I think. Instead of focusing on designing whole web pages, we should focus on designing the content and functional elements that make up web pages.
A responsive Wordpress theme that combines a strong use of colour with cards.
An unused card-based design aimed at helping users to get the most out of Google+.
Colourful icons
I thought I'd throw in an example of how colour can be used to group different types of icons, representing different kinds of functionality and information. This sort of thing can be subconsciously persuasive, if you get it right.
Dribble (concept)
A design concept for a Dribble Android UI, featuring some vivid icons.
Branded colour coding
We see this a lot in the world of design, and here's one website that closely mirrors the colour of its product. Scroll through the products and the colour changes...

Great article. I love the design
My eyes!!! bombarded by lame trendy colors!
One thing to remember when using a range of colours: accessibility.
My colour vision is not perfect (though it's not all that bad), and some of those designs feature white text on a light yellow background - I'm aware there is text there, but I couldn't read it.
Designers tend to be people with good colour vision; web and UI designers should be people who care about getting their message to users regardless of visual ability.
What a beautiful post to wake up to! Some lovely examples in there. My faves: Wacom, Triplagent and that drop dead gorgeous Nokia Purity one.
The long lists are just out for the Irish Web Awards. Check out the entrants for "Most Beautiful Website In Ireland": http://webawards.ie/
It will be interesting to see how continued developments of this nature in web design impact digital advertising, especially Display. Whether it be banner size or the aesthetic landscape of the banners, it is something businesses and agencies need to keep abreast of when considering audience engagement.
Inspiring Interns - http://www.inspiringinterns.com - redesigned their site about 18 months ago to incorporate four strong, distinct colours. They have addressed the issue of talking to two audiences (employers and candidates) by allocating each a core colour that applies across the website and other marketing material, allowing for clear distinction between messages while staying on-brand.
All the designs are just amazing, superb work.
Websites today are really colorful, unlike the good old days where only a plain, dull text is laid upon your eyes after loading a web page. The same with our offline art and architecture, which changed and improves over time, unlike the old "stick" drawings from the past.
I really like the use of bold color. I remember when minimalist themes were encouraged. I prefer adding some dashes of eye-catching color. Very sweet eye candy here!
colours are essentails for the website but need to focus on the ux design and ui principles of the site .check the site with good design and poor UX and UI http://www.jargonwebtech.org
Wow, they are all amazing! I really like those colorful flat designs. Thank you for sharing this article.
Wow, they are all amazing! I really like those colorful flat designs. Thank you for sharing this article.
Its look really great and i can image that how much hard work did on this web designing from their web designers. Great job.
I love the flat, colourful and modern GUI styles driven by touch controls and Windows 8. A throw-back to the good old days of the 90's when websites were charmingly simple in their look and feel.
I'm getting retro in my old age!
Wow, these are smooth and creative! I like the way you have enclosed these flat and modern design trends.
Well researched post. Thanks. Although nothing seems really 2014, it's all been around a while?
I love this one for video background: http://arttica.is/
wow... Great article... The different colors help us to improve visitors of website. Thanks for sharing this. I will try to use these trends in my next website design...

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Beginning at 4 p.m. Thursday, Metro-North will cut its trains back to an hourly service as a nor'easter continues to hammer Fairfield County and the region with snow and sleet, the commuter rail announced via its website.
"This service plan reflects that we carried only one-third of normal ridership this morning, and the effects of the heavy snowfall in our service territory," Metro-North said.
Customers who are able to are urged to travel early before hourly service is put into effect, Metro-North said.
Train times will be available on the interactive schedules webpage .
The commuter rail is already operating on a reduced service due to the winter storm with some local and express trains that serve adjacent stations being combined and making additional stops.
Train riders are cautioned to take care when traveling in the snowy and icy conditions and to allow for additional travel time. Also, use caution when entering and exiting trains, and on platforms and staircases.
Metro-North said Wednesday it called in extra personnel and treated railcar door panels with anti-freeze agents to prepare for the storm.
The commuter railroad sent out snow blowers, plow trains, front-end loaders and backhoes to battle the snow, said Meredith Daniels, a Metro-North spokeswoman.
"We're basically readying all of our snow-fighting equipment," Daniels said.
The snow and ice is a particular problem on the New Haven Line, where overhead catenary wires power the trains.
"There isn't much we can do to prevent ice from forming on the wires. We just have to pay special attention to this," Daniels said.
Commuters were warned to expect delays even with the reduced schedule.
Up to 10 to 14 inches of snow along with sleet is expected to fall across Fairfield County. Sleet and freezing rain was falling along the immediate shoreline in Fairfield County.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The King College men's and women's track team opened the 2011 outdoor season with two school records and multiple personal bests over the weekend at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte 49er Classic.
Carrie Nelson (Independence, Va.) paced three other Lady Tornado runners to personal records in the 5,000-meters. Nelson secured a sixth place finish, in a field of over sixty athletes, for an outdoor school and personal record of 17 minutes and 51.36 seconds. Her first sub-18 effort slashed over 30 seconds off the previous school record which she set last year at the NCCAA Outdoor National Championships. Joining Nelson with personal records were Danielle Beauvais (Danville, Va.), Kendra Sokol and Evan Ferrell (Richlands, Va.) who stormed through the deep field to claim times of 18:35.96, 18:52.35 and 19:03.76, respectively. Beauvais and Sokol went under 19 minutes for the first time during the outdoor season.
Complimenting the Lady Tornado distance squad were the men's accomplishments. Naseem Haje (Hagerstown, Md.) and Spencer Frantom (Morristown, Tenn.) matched their teammates efforts with a new school, and two personal records, in the men's 5,000. Haje committed to an early pace that led him to a finishing time of 15:19.18, which captured 15th place and the school record by more than 20 seconds. Following close behind was freshmen Framton who lowered his outdoor personal record to 15:29.23 which also eclipsed the previous school record.
Rounding out the successful start to the outdoor track season for the distance crew was Justin Humphreys (Bristol, Tenn.) and Mykal Miller (Gray, Tenn.) in the 1,500 meters. Humphreys ran to a personal record of 4:05.76 and a ninth-place finish which resulted in a six second improvement from his previous best while Miller sprinted to a personal record also with a time of 4:33.20.
On the Lady Tornado sprint side Ashely Ruth (Cleveland, Tenn.), Lanneickia Brewton (Spartanburg, S.C.) and Jill Hooker (Blountville, Tenn.) wasted no time during the outdoor season in making their mark. Ruth recorded an effort of 1:01.52 in the 400 meters claiming an impressive personal record. Meanwhile Brewton, whose 22.5 points at the 2010 NCCAA Indoor National Championships saw the Lady Tornado team claim 4th, was busy in the 200 taking 21st place in a time of 25.52. Hooker dipped under the 13 second barrier in the 100 to claim a time of 12.91 and returned in the 200 for a 26.87 mark which rounded out a productive day.
Shontella Smith (Campobello, S.C.) joined Brewton near the top of the field with a 12.57 in the 100 before taking a leap of 10.51 meters in the triple jump. Smith's mark was good enough for 13th place and a new outdoor personal record.
Next on track for the Tornado was the men's sprint crew led by Earl Rahming (Nassau, Bahamas) with a strong 400 effort of 49.09, good enough for 13th place and a new outdoor personal record. During the indoor season the freshmen from the Bahamas threatened the NCAA Divivision II National qualifying standard on many occasions and he looks to secure that mark during the outdoor campaign.
Jordan Tippens (Knoxville, Tenn.) also broke the 50 second barrier with a mark of 49.79 and then returned to action in the 200 with an impressive outdoor personal record of 22.56. Making his mark in the 100 meters Diverne Ingraham (Matthew Town, Great Iaunga) ran to a 15th place finish and just missed his personal record with a time of 10.99.
Rounding out the successful outdoor opener were the efforts of the throws squad. Casey Stallard (Abingdon, Va.) and Justin Harris (Johnson City, Tenn.) continued their freshmen campaign with personal records in the javelin and hammer respectively. Stallard launched the javelin 41.60 meters for a 23rd place showing while Harris' 33.72 meter effort left him in 27th with a new personal record also.
The highlight of the throws weekend came when Ashtan Hibar (Mansfield, Ohio.), competing in the shot put, just missed the top-ten by finishing 12th with a throw of 11.58 meters. Hibar's teammate Miranda Broesche (Cleveland, Tenn.) also had a personal record with a heave of 28.62 meters in the hammer throw.
The King College men's and women's track and field team travel next to the Benyon Sports Classic at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C., Saturday at 10 a.m.

Harvey Milk never lived to see his life's work come to fruition.
But on Thursday, some of the elected officials and dignitaries he inspired paid tribute to him in a White House ceremony unveiling a commemorative stamp bearing the image of the slain gay rights leader.
Milk, who would have turned 84 on Thursday, was one of the country's first openly gay officeholders, elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. The cost of a first-class stamp was 13 cents at the time. But Milk's grassroots campaign didn't have enough money to buy them, recalled Anne Kronenberg, a friend and top political aide.
"I find it ironic that during his campaign, we couldn't afford the postage," said Kronenberg, who's now executive director of the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management.
Milk's victory came at a steeper cost. He endured constant harassment and death threats. He famously predicted his own death, but hoped the bullet that killed him would eventually shatter closet doors everywhere.
On Nov. 27, 1978, a disgruntled former colleague shot and killed Milk and Mayor George Moscone at San Francisco City Hall. The killer, Dan White, was found not guilty of murder and only served five years in prison for voluntary manslaughter.
At the White House ceremony, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., recalled asking after Milk's funeral, "Is this how it ends?"
Pelosi, a state Democratic Party leader back then, said, "But it was the beginning of so much."
In the 35 years since his death, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans have been elected to every office from city council to the U.S. Senate. They've gained the right to serve openly in the armed forces and to marry in 19 states. The National Football League this year drafted its first openly gay player.
"He had a dream that he did not get to see become real," said his nephew, Stuart Milk, founder and president of the Harvey Milk Foundation.
Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., the legendary civil rights leader, said Milk caused "good trouble," making ripples that built into a tidal wave that swept away discriminatory laws and broke down barriers for gay officeholders.
"I am a direct beneficiary of the work of Harvey Milk," said Evan Low, a city council member in Campbell, Calif., who also served as mayor.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., said it was hard to imagine a time when running for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors as an openly gay candidate was a "revolutionary act." In 1998, Baldwin became the first openly gay non-incumbent elected to the House of Representatives. In 2012, she made history again by becoming America's first openly gay senator.
Today, there are eight openly gay members of Congress, all Democrats. In a sign of growing public acceptance, three openly gay Republicans are running for House seats this year.
Still, in 29 states, there are no laws that protect workers from employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender _ LGBT _ youth endure more harassment than their peers, and they commit suicide at a higher rate.
And for all the progress LGBT Americans have seen, their peers across the world continue to struggle. Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said that 76 countries criminalize the existence of LGBT people.
Power said that support for LGBT rights is a "central part of our foreign policy," and it can be traced back to Milk's work.
"He demanded dignity for himself and for all Americans," she said. "In short, Harvey Milk made America more American."

Do you ever find yourself questioning how you know something? Where did you hear it? Where did you read it?
Do you ever find yourself questioning how you know something? Where did you hear it? Where did you read it?
In genealogy, you learn to always have an answer for the "where."
"Where did you get this information?" the genealogist asked, when I proudly showed him my family tree.
"I have it all written down in my files," I told him.
"That's good, but you need to list your sources," he advised.
I told him my sources were Mom and Dad, Grandpop, Babka, Nana and Great-Nana.
He chuckled as he explained that I needed to cite hard evidence for my facts, or provide documentation. My parents and grandparents may be reliable sources for me, but where's the proof?
He flipped through my paperwork and pulled out an obituary.
"What newspaper is this from?" he asked.
I had no idea. The clipping had been tucked into my great-grandmother's Bible.
"You need to find out the name of the newspaper, where it was published, the date, page number and the column where the obituary appeared."
He was "deadly" serious, and I've been a slave to source documentation ever since.
My motto on this is to 'sight, site and cite' — look for the proof (sight), record where it is located (site) and enter it into the family tree (cite).
For the purposes of documentation, you need to show exactly where you got the information.
If you got the inscription on Grandpappy's headstone from a cemetery website, the cemetery is not your source — the website is.
If the historical society sends you a family group sheet from a published genealogy, the book isn't your source — the historical society is.
If you have a letter from Aunt Polly about her mother's first marriage, then Aunt Polly is not your source — her letter is.
However, if you personally examined the headstone in the cemetery, reviewed the book at the historical society or interviewed Aunt Polly yourself, then cite the source as whatever you actually witnessed.
Primary sources are the best. These are the ones usually recorded shortly after the event by someone who either witnessed the event or had direct knowledge of it.
The birth of my great-great-grandfather in 1843, was recorded by his father, Richard Mann, in the margin of a textbook. Richard included the day of the week and time of birth as well as the date.
Several chapters later, the same textbook listed the birth of a daughter, in 1845, and again, it included the day, date and time she was born. Either it was Richard's favorite book or he was a very slow reader.
Although this source isn't an "official" birth record, it is considered a primary source, because they were written by someone with direct knowledge of the event and since they included the time, they were most likely written shortly after each birth.
Secondary sources are less reliable, but still useful when a primary source is not available.
A date of birth on great-granddad's death certificate is considered a secondary source. His date of death on that certificate would be a primary source.
My great-grandmother's Bible had pages listing the births and deaths of her immediate family.
Jennie recorded the birthdates of her children, and beneath them was the birthdate of her husband, Peter.
It's obvious that it can't be a primary source for Peter's birthdate. It's barely a secondary source, since it was recorded long after the event by someone who didn't witness it — Jenny wasn't even born yet — and it was entered on the page after the much later dates of her children's births.
The Bible reference was cited as the only source for his birth in my family tree, until I found a baptismal record for him and that became my primary source.
Just because a source is primary doesn't mean it is accurate.
My great-grandfather's death certificate — an official document from 1917— listed his cause of death as "mining accident," but he was actually injured in a trolley car collision that resulted in his death at the hospital, hours later.
I could use his death certificate as a primary source for the date and time of death, but my primary source for the cause of death was the newspaper article about the fatal collision.
Basically, the purpose of sourcing your information is to prove it. Anyone should be able to trace your steps and obtain the same results, so details are important. In the end, your documented family tree should have an appendix listing the source for every statistic in the tree — a kind of "Sourcerer's Appendix" (my apologies to Mr. Disney).

Big News for Small Forests
John Henrikson, a database programmer turned forester, lives a good life at Wild Thyme Farm. He's one of a new breed of back-to-the-lander that's looking to find small-scale solutions to today's big problems. His 150 acres near Oakville, Washington, in the heart of timber country, are a direct reflection of both his passion for forest stewardship and half a lifetime spent learning about the forest.
"The land tells you what to do, and this property has taken over my life," says Henrikson. "We need more people to develop that relationship—to fall in love with the land."
Henrikson's approach embodies a new way of thinking about our relationship with forests. For years he has been processing his own trees into trim and molding, sold through a broad network of local businesses. Five years ago he got his forest certified to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards, a global system for eco-labeling sustainably managed forests and the products derived from them. He's also made his farm into a destination for workshops, celebrations, and the conservation-curious. And, most recently, he's developed a project to sell rights to the carbon sequestered on his property.
Small is Big
After oceans, forests are the largest sink for atmospheric carbon and the one we have the most ability to manipulate, be it for good or bad. As trees grow, they remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in their woody tissues. If managed properly, trees, soil, and some wood products can keep that carbon locked up and out of the atmosphere for hundreds or thousands of years.
Forestry-based carbon offsets—which allow polluters to offset their emissions by funding forests that sequester carbon—are a highly complex and contentious issue. Many worry these relatively inexpensive offsets will be mere greenwashing, providing a veil behind which polluters can hide, or that they will result in large corporations profiting at the expense of local residents, especially community and indigenous groups.
In the United States, though, small-scale forestry, like the kind Henrikson practices, offers an opportunity for families and communities to profit from conserving forests. Family-owned woodlands make up roughly two-thirds of the country's working forestlands. Collectively, the American people control far more working forest than industry and public agencies combined. If we are to save forests and minimize climate change, small woodlands are key.
New carbon markets, developed by nonprofits in all parts of the country, are focusing more and more on small woodlands. These regional and state programs are well-suited to support local decision-making, provide personal accountability, and cater to regionally specific concerns, like salmon in the Pacific Northwest or the lack of old-growth forests in the East. They also make sure that the money earned for carbon sequestration goes to local families and communities.
For Small Woodlands, A New Lease on Life
Henrikson's success is not a typical tale in the Pacific Northwest. Even here, in the heart of timber country, the total acreage of forested land is declining, as industrial forests are cleared to make way for houses and shopping centers. Over the past 30 years, Washington State alone has lost more than two million acres of forest, mostly for suburban development. Most of the industrial forests that remain are now treated primarily as fiber farms with quick harvest cycles, providing little in the way of diversity or habitat.
Throughout the country, family woodlands are threatened not only by development but also by competition from industrial forestry. Carbon markets that reward conservation and healthy, well-managed forests may give sustainably managed forests the edge they need.
John Henrikson is turning his forest's carbon storage capacity into income with the help of NW Neutral, a program of the Northwest Natural Resource Group, a conservation and rural development advocacy group in the Pacific Northwest. Based on a complete forest inventory, a long-term management plan, and a certification process that includes both a carbon protocol and FSC standards, NW Neutral pays woodland owners to maintain existing carbon stocks in older forests. In return, landowners must commit to a 100-year deed-restricting contract and agree to ongoing verification and monitoring. Every few years a NW Neutral auditor will visit the property to ensure that tree growth and carbon stocks exceed agreed-upon levels.
Another program is Carbon Canopy, a collaboration among the nonprofit Dogwood Alliance and several partners (including large companies like Staples), which is helping make carbon accounting possible for woodland owners in the Southeast. Now in the pilot stage, the program offers payment to landowners who, by using improved forest management practices, increase carbon stocks on their land.
In Pennsylvania, The Nature Conservancy's Working Woodlands Program is doing similar work, with the intention of exporting the program to other states. And in California, the first state to enact carbon emissions limits, the Pacific Forest Trust has led the development of meaningful regulations for projects listed on the state's Climate Action Registry.

Ecological Economics
Many of the new markets that make Henrikson's success in selling his carbon rights possible are driven by a growing recognition that conservation must have economic value to be successful on a grand scale. Ultimately all life depends on the health of natural systems, but in capitalist economies we've tended to ignore the true costs of environmental and social damage. We're just beginning to understand how to calculate the true costs of the services that forests provide, such as clean water, soil fertility, endangered species habitat, or a stable climate.
This process of complete accounting, called "ecosystem services" valuation, will hopefully put our natural resource decisions into a more complete context and change the way we do business.
Unfortunately, with the global market for carbon offsets exploding, there's huge variability in the quality of carbon programs, from excellent to mediocre to downright shameful greenwashing. Since the U.S. carbon market is still mostly unregulated, it is strictly "buyer beware," and getting quality information is essential for anyone buying offsets. Luckily, organizations like the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences offer resources to help gauge the success of projects.
There is broad agreement among climate scientists that the decisions we make over the next decade will determine the severity of climate change and quality of life for our descendants over the next century. When it comes to forests, we know what kind of changes we need, and we have excellent working models like Henrikson's throughout the country. Ultimately, the power to transform the world's forests for the better lies in the hands of the people, what they value, and where they choose to invest.

Tim Burton-themed bar to open new outpost in Los Angeles
A Tim Burton-themed bar in Los Angeles has opened for reservations.
The second location of the Halloween-themed Beetle House will open on May 20 at a new haunt on Hollywood Boulevard.
Beetle House was created in the Big Apple by Burton fans as a place for devotees of the filmmaker to gather for a meal and drinks.
"Sports bars are great if you are into sports, but what about the rest of us?" creator Zach Neil explains. "Imagine a place with the same enthusiasm as a big time sports bar but instead everyone is celebrating films, music and art? That is the type of place I want to create.
"A safe space where it really feels like Halloween all year round and people can come, enjoy good food, good drinks, listen to good music and feel completely comfortable to be as freaky as they want to be. This would be my home for the freaks, weirdos and grown up goth kids of the city."

LONDON (Reuters) - Bruce Springsteen treated his fans to a complete performance of "Born in the USA", the 1984 album which shot him to global superstardom, as the centerpiece of a three-hour show in London on Sunday night.
The Boss and his E Street Band played the 12 songs in the same order as the original, kicking off with the Vietnam veteran's lament of the title track and serving up rollicking versions of "Glory Days", "No Surrender," and other favorites.
The enormous success of "Born in the USA" raised Springsteen's popularity and fortune when it was released, selling 30 million copies worldwide and making him one of the biggest acts of the era.
It also has a special place in Springsteen lore - when then U.S. President Ronald Reagan praised the title song as a patriotic anthem, he earned a public rebuke from Springsteen, who said he had misunderstood its message.
Three decades on, it still delighted the crowd at the Hard Rock Calling festival at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London, close to the venues of last year's Olympic Games.
Nils Lofgren's fiery guitar solo on "Cover Me" was a highlight of the set. For "Dancing in the Dark" - still a regular feature in his concerts - he brought out his mother Adele as his dancing partner.
Sunday's show featured crowd-pleasers such as "Badlands" and "Born to Run" when the grey-clad Springsteen worked the crowd with an energy that belied his years.
He also played three songs from "Nebraska", the mournful acoustic album which confounded fans when it was released in 1982. The E Street Horns changed the mood, turning the murder ballad "Johnny 99" into a New Orleans-style party.
The numbers from Springsteen's latest album "Wrecking Ball" showed he is still writing great songs and bringing in a range of influences from Gospel to Irish jigs.
The show's most poignant moment was the epic "Jungleland" from "Born to Run". Springsteen sang the quieter passages to a hushed crowd and Jake Clemons, the nephew and replacement for the late E Street Band stalwart Clarence Clemons, raised the roof with an extended saxophone solo that would have made his uncle proud.
And nobody pulled the plug this time. At last year's Hard Rock Calling, which took place in Hyde Park, the power was switched off by curfew-minded staff just as he and former Beatle Paul McCartney launched into "Twist and Shout".
Now aged 63, Springsteen is in fine fettle. His reputation stands as arguably rock's greatest performer and he still fills stadiums, arenas and parks to deliver his marathon shows.
He and the E Street Band are now into the second year of the "Wrecking Ball" tour, which has seen him go back and forth between Europe and North America and which ends in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on September 21.

"F" is for Fraud – A Discussion With Marc Filer
Career Management
Do you have the right stuff to work in fraud, forensics and litigation support? In today's firm or company, there are many accounting career opportunities in niche practice areas, and one of the most interesting of all of these is fraud.
Meet Marc Filer, CPA/ABV, CFE. Based in Washington, D.C., Marc is a senior associate in PricewaterhouseCoopers' Global FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) practice, and works on matters involving the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice. In addition to working on FCPA projects in India, the United Kingdom, Japan, China, Italy, Russia, and the Czech Republic, he has been involved with several large investigations involving financial statement frauds, revenue recognition issues, and asset misappropriation.
We sat down with Marc during the August E.D.G.E. Conference in New Orleans to get his thoughts on the kind of background and competencies it takes to succeed in forensics, as well as his views on how the accounting profession can help young CPAs succeed.
Edge: What is it about "fraud" that drew you to this service offering?
Marc Filer: While I liked my auditing and tax classes, I felt there had to be something else out there, but I did not know what else an accountant could do.
I was first exposed to Forensics while at Ohio University. A PwC Forensic Team visited the campus to test a new class they were developing to teach to new hires. During this class, I knew this is the type of work that I wanted to do in my career. Forensics combined the various disciplines that I was studying in college (Accounting, Finance, and Business Pre-Law) and challenged me to think outside the box. During my internship, I was exposed to the many different types of forensic accounting services, including investigations and litigation support.
Since starting my career full time, I have been exposed to even more services, including royalty audits, contract compliance, asset misappropriation, revenue recognition, the FCPA, and valuation. The variety of potential work is another reason I was drawn to forensics. Once the fundamental forensic knowledge is gained, there are so many specialized areas that I have not stopped learning since leaving college!
Edge: What kinds of competencies would a young CPA want to have to consider a career in forensic investigation or litigation support?
Marc Filer: If a young CPA is interested in considering a career in Forensics, I would tell them it's a great choice. There are many competencies a forensic accountant needs; in fact, the Forensic and Valuation Services (FVS) Section of the AICPA has a white paperthat covers this, "Characteristics and Skills of the Forensic Accountant."
The most important competency is communication skills—oral and written. A forensic accountant needs to be able to communicate in an effective and efficient manner. Whether you are interviewing an individual involved in a potential fraud or communicating your findings in a written report, communication is key.
This leads into what I consider the second most important competency, being detail oriented. In many of my engagements, the team was given the "kitchen sink of data." As a forensic accountant, you need to be able to analyze the data in an efficient manner, and determine what data is important and what data is not.
For example, in one engagement, the client gave us receipts received from an employee over the last year. The client believed the employee was committing fraud in his expense reports. I led a team that analyzed and documented each invoice in detail, and it was only then that we were able to determine that many of the invoices had sequential numbers (with many weeks in between invoices), and that the handwriting for all the invoices was all the same, even though the name on each invoice was different. When we confronted the employee with the detailed analysis and documentation, he knew that he had been caught and pled to the scam.
The last competency a forensic account should have is adaptability. While planning before starting an engagement is very important, once you are out in the field, the situation might change and the forensic accountant must be able to adapt. There have been many times that I have been in a middle of an engagement and the information is telling us something different than what was originally thought to be the issue. At that point, the forensic accountant must be able to step back; look at the information; and reassess the workplan, the issues, and the client expectations. Being able to do this successfully is very important to you and your clients.
Edge: Do you consider this line of work a gateway to other kinds of accounting work?
Marc Filer: I would consider forensics a gateway to various positions and opportunities that people would not think of when you say "accountant." With a background in forensic accounting, there are many opportunities, including working in a law firm as an internal forensic expert; in industry within a company's compliance or internal audit group; or the local, state, and federal government (for example, as a special agent with the FBI or an Office of Inspector General). Related areas include computer forensics, family law, valuation, bankruptcy, and economic damages calculations.
Edge: Take us through one of your recent engagements so our readers can get a sense of what's involved in working on an investigation.
Marc Filer: One of the things I love about forensics is that no two engagements are exactly the same. One of my last engagements took me to India. Before leaving the United States, the engagement team developed a workplan and document request list based on the information and allegations provided to us by the client. Then, each team member was assigned portions of the workplan and the document request list was sent to the client. The client then sent us its employee list, financial information, and other information that was requested based on the document request list. The engagement team analyzed and documented the information. We determined who we wanted to interview, along with the transactions we wanted to examine.
Once onsite (after 16 hours in two different airplanes!), we executed the workplan. A portion of the team looked at the financial transactions that were selected before coming onsite and the other team members conducted the interviews of the employees. The team looking at the financial transaction analyzed the supporting documentation (invoice, purchase order, wire transfer/check, journal entry) to determine if the transaction supported the actual business transaction. The team conducting the interviews by meeting with employees from finance, sales, and operations, asked about internal controls, business practices, company policies and procedures, and their day-to-day tasks. At the end of the engagement, the team uncovered that the controller of the plant was stealing from the company via expense reimbursements and salary payments with the assistance of two other members of the finance and operation team.
Edge: You're a member of the 2010 AICPA Leadership Academy. How did this program help you as an accounting professional? How did it help you personally?
Marc Filer: The AICPA Leadership Academy was an amazing experience. On a professional level, it helped me further develop my critical thinking and soft skills, which are very important in forensic accounting. The experience also gave me an appreciation for what the AICPA and state societies do for the profession, and how important it is to actively participate in committees and boards of those organizations. It also gave me a chance to connect with young CPAs across the country. These individuals are a great support structure both professionally and personally, whether working on the same committee, asking a quick accounting question about an issue I am facing, or being able to get together for dinner and catching up about the family.
Edge: It seems AICPA is focusing more and more on the "Young CPA," especially with the E.D.G.E. conference. Tell me a few ways the accounting profession can support the young CPA.
Marc Filer: At this first conference, there were more than 100 young CPAs from across the country who attended. I have been to various AICPA conferences throughout my career, but it was a great feeling to see so many young CPAs in one room.
I believe that the number one thing the accounting profession can do to support young CPAs is to continually support our development. The accounting profession also can support young CPAs by assisting with "knowledge transfer." I have met so many experienced CPAs who were willing to share their knowledge and experience. By listening and learning from more experienced CPAs, younger CPAs can gain insights and indirect experiences that will help them excel in their careers. Another similar way to support young CPAs is through mentoring. I know it has helped me develop as a CPA and further my career because I have great mentors, and yes, you can have more than one!

The Masters Program in Comparative Medicine at Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM) is intended to provide graduate research training specifically for individuals holding the DVM degree.
The Master of Science in Comparative Medicine is administered through the Section on Comparative Medicine, which is a division of the Department of Pathology at WFSM. The primary mission of the Section on Comparative Medicine is to provide an academic base for faculty who care for and/or who study animal models of human disease in programs of research designed to better understand problems of human health.
Integral to its mission is the Department's commitment to pre- and postdoctoral education and training in the areas of comparative medicine and molecular and cellular pathobiology. This mission is facilitated by the unique nature of our animal facilities and training faculty's expertise in working with animal models.
Major interests include cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity, behavioral biology such as depression and anxiety, women's health/reproductive medicine, nutrition, comparative pathology, and substance abuse.
This program is available as an alternative for individuals who hold a DVM degree and are interested in pursuing a career in research or laboratory animal medicine.
The graduate program faculty includes individuals with a wide range of interests and variety of research expertise.
The Wake Forest University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences requires all Masters candidates to take 30 credit hours of coursework. For the MS in Comparative Medicine, these credits will consist of the following:
If the candidate already has sufficient experience in basic statistics, alternative course may be substituted with approval of the Program Director.

In addition to their coursework, Masters degree candidates will be required to organize a thesis committee, submit a written thesis based on original research performed by the candidate, and orally defend this work. The graduate research is expected to result in at least one first-author manuscript for publication.
The anticipated time for completion of the Masters Program is 3 years.

Zaatari refugee camp
Actor Gael García Bernal meets with Syrian refugees in Jordan
Oxfam Global Ambassador and Hollywood actor Gael García Bernal has taken time out from filming on location in Jordan to meet Syrian refugees.
Meet Liqaa' is a 23 year old refugee from Syria, now living in Za'atari refugee camp, in Jordan, and the face of the joint agency petition calling for Syria peace talks now.
Syrian refugee crisis stretching aid effort to its limits say aid agencies
Many Syrian refugees living outside camps across countries in the region are losing out on the help they desperately need, according to five international aid agencies today.
What does it mean to be a refugee? We asked Syrian refugees living in Jordan.
We travelled to Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan, and made a film about how some Syrian refugees are using music to cope with life in the camps.

Disabled pig gains fame, weight
Chris P. Bacon back
Since disabled pig Chris P. Bacon gained fame online, he's also gained some weight and a new wheelchair.
The Lake County pig was born with hind legs that don't work, so he gets around on wheels, instead.
Veterinarians didn't expect him to live, but he was adopted by Dr. Len Lucero.
"His whole story is inspiring. He's like the little engine that could," Lucero said.
A YouTube video turned the pig into an Internet sensation five months ago. Since then, he's gained size and increased his public profile.
The pig has been part of several charity events. He'll soon be the subject of a new children's book.
Lucero said he thinks the porker might be primed for further fame. A movie or television show or even a video game is possible.

I have a 2011 Laredo 3.6L and was looking for a little more sound and power. This exhaust is great- it's not loud enough to wake the whole neighborhood, but it's loud enough to get the heads turning. I would recommend this exhaust for whoever is looking for a high quality kit, but doesn't want to drain the wallet. Go for it!
