From Craig deegan's Financial accounting theory:
"An extremely dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated... Whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in accountancy they are a positive boon."
.. While accountants may be the subject of such (poorly informed and unpleasant) depictions and taunts, we can rest in the knowledge that we accountants are indeed very powerful individuals. The assertion that accountants are powerful (which is obviously flattering to students of accounting) is based on a number of perspectives..
If it has to be expressed in such a manner, I honestly don't think accounting students would find this flattering - definitely not for me. Sorry Deegan, but in my opinion, this is naught but loser speak. Like the baldy short and tubby guy wit no personality who thinks he is bruce almighty just because he is the cfo of the company. It doesn't happen this way, bruce, it really doesn't.
