Why did he make the power list?
Bingham is number 47 in the power list. Winner of the Judges’ Awards at the 2017 British Accountancy Awards, Jonathan Bingham was recognised for an outstanding contribution to the accounting and finance industry with his work in the audit sector.
As well as revolutionising the way in which data is shared between client and auditor with the introduction of a new audit software tool, Jon has co-created an IFRS 9 guidance paper for banking audit committees.
