The trust in accountants here is astonishing. If only that could be leveraged for greater trust and accountability of multinationals - instead of to sell tax avoidance. (Figure via @ali_readhead)pic.twitter.com/8h9Am1kKVn

Isn't it incredible! May have something to do with the study being run by the International Federation of Accountants...but even then I'm shocked that in anti-expert era the public have such faith in financial intermediaries.
I wonder how people interpreted the Q/ how it was phrased? eg were people thinking 'do I trust politicians to set good tax policy?' vs 'would I trust an accountant to give good tax advice'

Anyway - suggests an opportunity for accountants to step up in the public debate

Right. I expect a lot of the distrust stems from how politicians use tax dollars, rather than whether they are reliable at setting tax policy. Accountants have a much easier task of offering advice.
