Funny thing about this recession. It seems to be affecting everyone except for accountants. In the past I have done entries, such as this one, looking at the phenomenon.

No surprises then that we have this report of an Association for financial professionals' survey showing that salaries in this sector have gone up more than 36 per cent above the national average with bonuses equivalent to 16 percent of their base salary in 2007. Just more evidence that the burden of compliance. combined with the global skills shortage, is delivering big rewards for some.
