Our hard-pressed accountants, who are both witnesses at and subjects of various tribunals and inquiries investigating financial goingson over the past 20 years, will no doubt rush to hear the author of Life in the Jungle when he addresses the annual conference of the Institute of Chartered Accountants on Wednesday.
