ICAEW has now published its list of the top X influencers in the accountancy world for 2024.
#ICAEWROAR celebrates UK-based individuals, who cover accountancy-related topics, and represent a tone of voice reflecting ICAEW’s values.
Well top of the list this year is ‘tax realist’ Dan Neidle @danneidle, who is followed in second-place by ‘economic justice campaigner’ Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy.
In third place comes tax barrister Keith M Gordon (@keithmgordon) and next comes chartered accountant Rebecca Benneyworth (@rebeccabeneworth).
All really are worth following!
Dan Neidle has some 168K followers on X. When we looked his latest post was highlight a new report by Tax Policy Associates that reveals 40% of all HMRC late filing penalties are charged to people who don’t earn enough to pay tax! Some 420,000 penalties have been charged to people on low incomes over the last four years.
Here at PQ Towers we are a little unsettled by the antics of Elon Musk, the owner of X. We have now joined Bluesky, and you can find us @pqmagazine.bsky.social. As a text-based social media site, Bluesky offers an almost identical experience as Twitter. It now has 26 million plus users.
Interestingly, Richard Murphy who has a mere 237.2K followers on X has decided to no longer post to his X account, and you can find him on Bluesky. He has 32K followers already. Dan Neidle is also on Bluesky and has 52.2k followers.
It all means the ICAEW (who are on Bluesky) may have to change its judging criteria next year! It would interesting to find out if it believes the owner of X represents the tone of voice that reflects ICAEW’s values!
