Accountancy Age has published its Financial Power List for 2010. I featured on this list in 2006, 2008 and 2009. This year I don’t. But my friend and colleague Prof Prem Sikka does, which is just as good. They say:

44 Prem Sikka, professor of accounting, Essex Business School

Few in the accounting world don’t have a view on Prem Sikka. The outspoken professor of accounting is a voice of dissent within the profession, and routinely rages against perceived injustices. But his blog, on The Guardian’s website, reaches an audience seldom addressed by traditional accounting media — the general public.

Well done Prem!
