A Message from the Editor
Benjamin Franklin is credited with penning the words, "In
this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and
taxes." Based on this quote, perhaps he secretly wanted to add
"accountant" to the long list of endeavours he pursued,
which included writer, politician, scientist, inventor,
philosopher, amongst many others.
