Accounting Today has issued a call for nominations for its annual Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting list. The list profiles the wide range of figures who wield influence over the profession, from accounting firm executives to state and federal regulators, thought leaders, academics, consultants and grass roots activists. To cast the widest possible net, Accounting Today will accept nominations by e-mail at daniel.hood@sourcemedia.com. Respondents are asked to include a brief description of the candidate's influence on the accounting profession, and, if possible, contact information. Self-nominations will be accepted. Nominations will be accepted until July 13. The often-controversial list will be published in September.
