Extreme-Accountants who’ve snapped
This area of the website is where we will be showcasing the feats captured on camera as E-As demonstrate what you can do when you’re always in balance.
Here are the first...
| THE RED BULL FLUGTAG LONDON 2008A team of E-As - Marc, Sarah, Dan and James - took on this year's Red Bull adorned with giant calculators, bowlers and umbrellas. They had the best performance scores from the celebrity judges with their routine to the Flying Lizards 'Money'. Their assets depreciated pretty badly and now lie in the Flugtag graveyard. RIP. Marc is the one launching himself from The Risk Calculator with umbrella aloft. Find more pics and video on the Flugtag page of this site. Marc, Sarah, Dan and James – "Depreciating Assets"| Criteria | Score |

| SCUBA DO..."...where are you?!" In this case, just off the reef of Roatan in Honduras. Paul Fletcher clearly likes to combine his scuba diving with a little light research, whilst doing depreciation calculations in his head. Hope the tie wasn't "dry clean only", though! Paul Fletcher ACMA – "Doing some CPD on sinking funds"| Criteria | Score |

| THE TURF ACCOUNTANTWhen it comes to galloping interest, London-based management consultant, Mike Lurcock, always goes after a hurdle rate of return... Mike Lurcock – "Investigating the upsides and downsides of hedge fun-ds"| Criteria | Score |

Post to our books!
Send us photographs of you or your colleagues going to extremes and you could join the ranks of accountants who've snapped!
REMEMBER: what you submit must be an original photograph that you have taken yourself and that shows you in an extreme situation, looking like an accountant and doing something that looks accounting related, together with a title or caption for the picure that plays on a well-known accounting term or phrase. Check out the recent interview that Arnold gave to the "Debitt's Guide to Modern E-A-tiquette" for some more hints.
