No one has done more to draw attention to the need for an ethically based profession, and the continuing absence of that quality.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you, I expect he'd refuse it. Prem does this stuff because it's the right thing to do, not for reward.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I'd add, just in case you're not aware of it, that the <a href=\"http:\/\/visar.csustan.edu\/aaba\/aaba.htm\" target=\"_blank\">AABA website<\/a>, run by Prem, is the best resource in the world for those interested in offshore, auditing issues and accounting comment in general. And I'm not exaggerating. Many thousands of users a day find answers to their questions on that site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AccountingWEB is asking who really deserved to be in the New Year&#8217;s Honours list.
