In the first week of October 2008, she published The Snowball, Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, a The New York Times Bestseller List bestseller. As a project manager for the US FASB, she managed SFAS No. 113. Since 2008, Schroeder has worked as a columnist for Bloomberg News. Early life and educationAlice Lynnette Davey is a native of Dallas, Texas.[1] She received a BBA in finance and an MBA from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin in 1978 and 1980.[2] CareerWork for the Financial Accounting FoundationFrom 1980 to 1991, Schroeder worked as a CPA at Ernst and Young, starting in Houston.[1] In 1991 Schroeder became a project manager for the Financial Accounting Standards Board in Norwalk, Connecticut. Her projects focused on ending abusive insurance industry accounting practices primarily due to the use of finite risk transfer contracts, an issue which later became central to the criminal allegation faced by employees of AIG and Berkshire Hathaway-owned General Re,[3] the release of:
When Greenberg was terminated from AIG at the insistence of New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, five employees of General Re and AIG were also indicted in connection with an accounting fraud at AIG that overstated reserves in this and subsequent quarters, the accounting rules violated were those Schroeder oversaw as an FASB project manager.[4] Schroeder testified as an expert witness about accounting for finite risk reinsurance at this Federal criminal conspiracy trial in Hartford, Connecticut.[5] Warren Buffett was never named in the case.[6] Former AIG CEO Greenberg and CFO Howie Smith disputed in court whether the New York AG had the power to pursue a civil fraud case against them.[7] The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned the convictions of all five Gen Re and AIG employees. In mid-2012 they signed deferred prosecution agreements with the Department of Justice that acknowledged mistakes and misjudgments but not criminal wrongdoing.[6][8][9] Insurance analystIn 1993, Schroeder left the FASB to work a sell-side insurance investment analyst for Dowling Partners in Hartford, a boutique firm run by V.J. Dowling. In 1994, Schroeder moved to CIBC Oppenheimer. In 1998, she joined PaineWebber. In 1998 Schroeder wrote Warren Buffett a letter requesting a meeting for her clients about Berkshire's recent acquisition of the reinsurer General Re, which she covered.[10] Afterward, Buffett approached her to become the first and only Wall Street sell-side analyst to whom he would speak.[11][12] Schroeder then initiated coverage of the hard-to-analyze Berkshire Hathaway in a favorable report[13] This was the first significant Wall Street coverage the company received.[14] In 2000, Schroeder was hired by Morgan Stanley,[15][1] where she was voted the #1 Property-Casualty insurance analyst two years in a row after having been ranked a member of the Institutional Investor All-America Research Team for seven years.[16] In 2002. Schroeder was voted one of Business Insurance magazine's.[17] That year, she was also named analyst/researcher of the year by The Review, a reinsurance industry publication.[18] Books and reportingThe SnowballIn 2003, Schroeder has reported that an investment writer approached her to jointly write a book about Warren Buffett and corporate governance.[19] Schroeder felt this was not the right book and discussed another idea with Buffett, who offered to cooperate with her if she wrote a more comprehensive book.[19] In June 2003, Schroeder, a managing director at Morgan Stanley, began travelling to Omaha to research and write Buffett's official biography, The Snowball. Schroeder spent approximately 2,000 hours with Buffett and interviewed 250 other people.[20] Schroeder reportedly received a $7 million book contract for publishing The Snowball.[21] The Snowball was published September 29, 2008 and debuted at #1 on The New York Times.[22] Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly lists of hardcover nonfiction best-sellers and remained on the bestseller list for more than three months.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} After the book’s publication, Buffett reportedly stopped speaking to Schroeder. He canceled the yearly dinner Schroeder hosted in Omaha at which she interviewed him before nearly two hundred people.[23] The New York Times reviewer Janet Maslin called it one of her ten favorite books of 2008.[24] Time Magazine[25] and People also named The Snowball one of the ten best books of the year.[26]MBIA and Bill Ackman reportIn 2002, activist hedge fund manager Bill Ackman challenged bond insurer MBIA's AAA rating[27] calling for a division between MBIA's bond insurers' structured finance business and its municipal bond insurance side.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} Ackman published a report[28] raising extensive concerns about MBIA's continued solvency. He gave Schroeder’s team an early draft and suggested they downgrade MBIA, but they initially resisted. Schroeder and her colleague Vinay Saqi eventually responded to Ackman’s report, partially acknowledging Ackman’s thesis.[29][30] Goldman Sachs pistol retractionOn November 30, 2009, Schroeder published an opinion piece on Bloomberg News[31] stating that several Goldman Sachs bankers, in a show of prescience about potential social unrest, had obtained pistol permits. In a December 9, 2009, Wall Street Journal blog post, journalist Susanne Craig reported that New York City Police Department spokesman Paul J. Browne retracted certain earlier information it had earlier given Alice Schroeder on the number of banker permit applications, which was part of the basis for the column.[32] Bloomberg has since re-published the column on its website in corrected form.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} First Call estimateIn 2002, the Wall Street Journal broke the news that Thomson Reuters' First Call, a research database which compiles the earnings estimates of Wall Street analysts to publish consensus earnings estimates for public companies, removed Schroeder's estimate on Chubb Insurance from the database after Schroeder refused[33] to raise her estimate on Chubb to match that of other analysts, whom she disagreed with. Once other investment banks complained about similar experiences, First Call agreed to include a broader range of analyst forecasts in its estimates and better disclose the factors that account for their differences in judgment.[34] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news| title=Dallas native Alice Schroeder tells Warren Buffett's life story |author=Cheryll Hall|newspaper=Dallas Morning News|date=October 28, 2008|url= http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/columnists/chall/stories/DN-Hall_19bus.ART.State.Edition1.4aa2def.html}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Schroeder, Alice}}2. ^{{Citation |year=2008 |title=Unknown article |publisher=www.mccombs.utexas.edu/ |url=http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/news/magazine/08f/oracle.asp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081222232254/http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/news/magazine/08f/oracle.asp |dead-url=yes |archive-date=December 22, 2008 |accessdate=January 11, 2017 |df= }} 3. ^{{Citation | date =May 26, 2009 | title =GenRe/AIG finite trial coverage| publisher =businessinsurance.com | url =http://www.businessinsurance.com/article/99999999/PAGES/853| accessdate =}} 4. ^{{Citation| last =Roberts| first =Sally | date =April 20, 2008| title =Brandon steps down as Gen Re chief| publisher =Business Insurance | url =http://www.businessinsurance.com/article/20080420/ISSUE01/100024668| accessdate =}} 5. ^{{Citation| year =May 2008| title=Defense rests in fraud trial charging Gen-Re- AIG with deception| publisher=edit.property-casualty.com | url=http://edit.property-casualty.com/Issues/2008/5/Pages/Defense-Rests-In-Fraud-Trial-Charging-Gen-Re--AIG-With-Deception.aspx| accessdate =}}{{dead link|date=January 2017}} 6. ^1 {{Citation | year =| title =Unknown article| publisher =www.businessinsurance.com/a | url =http://www.businessinsurance.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=9999100024603| archive-url =https://archive.is/20130118173823/http://www.businessinsurance.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=9999100024603| dead-url =yes| archive-date =2013-01-18| accessdate =}} 7. ^{{Citation | title =AIG ex-CEO Greenberg eyes reversing NY fraud| publisher =news.yahoo.co | url =https://news.yahoo.com/aig-ex-ceo-greenberg-eyes-reversing-ny-fraud-000427447--finance.html| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20120519045813/http://news.yahoo.com/aig-ex-ceo-greenberg-eyes-reversing-ny-fraud-000427447--finance.html| dead-url =yes| archive-date =2012-05-19| accessdate =}} 8. ^{{Citation| last=Shelp| first=Ronald| date=August 5, 2011| title=Spitzer Loses Big While Greenberg Wins Once Again| publisher =Forbes | url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/ronaldshelp/2011/08/05/spitzer-loses-big-while-greenberg-wins-once-again/| accessdate =January 14, 2017}} 9. ^{{cite news| title= Analyst testifies AIG/Gen Re deal distorted reserves|author= Douglas Mcleod|newspaper=Business Insurance magazine|date= January 9, 2008}} 10. ^{{Citation| year =| title =Simoleon Sense interviews Warren Buffett's biographer Alice Schroeder part 1| publisher =www.simoleonsense.com| url =http://www.simoleonsense.com/simoleonsense-interviews-warren-buffetts-biographer-alice-schroeder-part-1-the-forging-of-a-skeptic-from-accountant-to-buffetts-voice-on-wall-st/| accessdate =| deadurl =yes| archiveurl =https://archive.is/20101102235658/http://www.simoleonsense.com/simoleonsense-interviews-warren-buffetts-biographer-alice-schroeder-part-1-the-forging-of-a-skeptic-from-accountant-to-buffetts-voice-on-wall-st/| archivedate =2010-11-02| df =}} 11. ^{{Citation | year =| title =Warren Buffett| publisher =Dallas News| url =http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/Warren_Buffett| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20100519011427/http://topics.dallasnews.com/topic/Warren_Buffett| dead-url =yes| archive-date =May 19, 2010| accessdate =January 14, 2017}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Yeah ... but what does Alice Schroeder think?
