welcome to ceo insights

Jeremy Newman,
CEO of BDO International Limited

CEO INSIGHTS is intended to be a forum for conversation about accountancy and the accounting industry, discussing issues including ethics, standards and regulations


Stability accounting

Yesterday’s Lex column referred to the emerging conflict, on which I have commented before, between the needs of banking regulators and investors in banks.  Lex suggested the conflict was between regulators and accountants but I think recognised that accountants – in this case accounting standard setters – were representing the interests of investors.

Lex is quite direct – “Accounting needs to stay a true business snapshot.  Regulators must find their backbone elsewhere.”

I agree.
