“David Tweedie has a very tough job
because his job has two aspects to it that I think are mutually
exclusive,” Newman said.

At present, the IASB chair must both be a
strong technician, and an adept politician.

“I think it is unrealistic to expect one
person to have the skills to do both of those jobs,” Newman
added.
