Outstanding contribution? The jury’s out

Posted on July 17 2015

I have just been told I have been nominated for an award. This is the AccountingWEB Outstanding Contribution to Accounting Award, of which they say:

A brand new category for 2015, entries are not submitted for this award but instead the judges will confer the award on the individual they feel has made a significant contribution to the profession during their career to date.

The nominees are:

It's worrying all are male, but I had no influence on that.

I might have to take a night out in a penguin suit by the look of it.

Thanks for reading this post.

The state of the world today, there’s a lot more to worry about than men being good at something. The favourites imv would be Pipe & Wickersham who showed a lot of courage setting up avn. Congratulations on the nomination all the same.

And why not Richard – as someone who is trying to make Accountancy an honest profession (as well as the other stuff you deal with) – you should go even if it is only to remind people that despite the result of the last election you are not going away.

As far as I can see, you’re the only one on the list who campaigns for justice and fairness on that list. You’ll most certainly have my vote if I can record it. As Mel says, truly deserved.
