Please recommend podcasts about accounting, economics, or finance. A Canadian focus would be a bonus but not a necessity.

I'm helping a friend go over some financials of a small business . I have a *little* accounting training but am definitely not in accounting. My question is about indirect Cash Flow Statements. In the attempt to understand Cash Flow Statements enough to help, I'm running into a roadblock about Net Income and my understanding of how it's applied to the Cash Flow Statement.

How much was that stuff worth? I have to prepare a fairly precise net worth statement
for Sept 93 on short notice. Most is easily pulled off old statements, but how do I come up with a solid fair market valuation for household/personal goods? It's peak tax season, so impossible to get an fast answer from an accountant.
The only obvious calculator just throws validation errors.

I have exercised stock options and taken possession of a small number of shares. I have not sold anything, but am wondering how screwed I am, tax-wise. First, do I have to declare the value of the stock as "income" for the year that I acquired it? Second, if I should sell it, do I add the money I receive from that sale to my regular taxable income? Do I deduct the amount I paid in? Is the net difference subject to other taxes? Is this handle-able by an average person or do I need an accountant?

So Lucent got fined yesterday, to the tune of mamny millions of dollars, byt the SEC for the criminal euphemism of
Account Irregularities.
Like other high profile SEC investigations, why do they always mention the fine, but never discuss where the funds go?
Are they used to offset the defrauded investor's losses? Or does the gov't turn the investor's loss into it's gain by keeping the fine for its own purposes?
