Cluedo for accountants

The ICB LUCA awards are always a fantastic evening. And some people are lucky enough to take home a trophy, like PQ editor Graham Hambly, this year!

Now, the Luca statute’s themselves are pretty heavy things, depicting the famous Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli.

PQ magazine got chatting to ICB’s Student of the Year 2023, Denise Gibson (pictured). She felt the statute would make a great Cludeo piece – “Death in the Library with a UCA is a real possibility,” she suggested. We then began to discuss what other murder weapons an accountant’s version of the game might be possible. Can an Abacus kill you, we wondered? A very heavy ledger might! Someone, a software vendor, chipped in: “What about an accountant’s personality in the bedroom – that would certainly kill you!”
