'Independent' reporter wins accountancy award
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Roger Trapp, the Independent's editor of finance and law, has been named Accountancy Journalist of the year for 1995 by the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants.
Presenting the award at a lunch in London yesterday, Lord Barnett, chairman of the adjudication panel, said Mr Trapp maintained a consistently high standard of journalism across the broad spectrum of financial and management issues he covered.
"There is a refreshing clarity and lightness of touch about his writing. Whatever the topic, he always searches out those who have fresh perspectives and something of interest to say. He explains the relevance of issues to his readers in an imaginative and relevant way."
Mr Trapp, who has been runner-up on three previous occasions, received a silver salver and a cheque for pounds 1,000.
Robert Bruce, accountancy correspondent of the Times and last year's winner, was runner-up.
