Biography

Dr Moshe Shekel is the founder and senior partner of Shekel and Co. Law

Associates, and also a Lecturer at Tel Aviv University, Israel.

'Moshe Shekel has produced a prodigious piece of work on timing, the result of a major research project ... Few American practitioners, even in down economic times, can afford the time to write a comprehensive, comparative study, systematically pulling together the doctrine and the controversies about doctrine in three sophisticated jurisdictions – the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel. But that comprehensive, comparative work is exactly what Shekel has given us.' – Erik M. Jensen, Columbia Journal of Tax Law, Vol. 1:262, 2010

"Overall, the book is a truly scholarly piece about the theory and practice of taxable income recognition. ... Thanks to Dr Shekel, the reader ends up attaining a better grasp of the corporate taxing environments in these countries." - Volkan Muslu, European Accounting Review, 2011
