ICAN President, Davidson Alaribe
The 60th President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, Davidson Alaribe, has charged new associate accounting technicians of the institute to keep integrity and accuracy as their watchwords.
Alaribe said this on Wednesday at the induction of the 828 Associate Accounting Technicians, which was held at the ICAN Centre in Lagos.
He said, “It is pivotal for you to continuously make accuracy and integrity your watchword. Ensure you uphold the highest standard of professionalism, ethics, and integrity in all your endeavours. As you progress in your career, remember to constantly uphold the five fundamental principles of the accounting profession – integrity, objectivity, confidentiality, professional behaviour, and professional competence and due care.
“The institute does not hesitate to mete out appropriate professional discipline to any erring accounting technician through our disciplinary mechanism. As you are being inducted today, let the association’s code of ethics, constitution, and by-laws be your professional holy book. Let the code guide you in the provision of your professional services.”
Alaribe went on to lead the 828 inductees to take their oath of allegiance.
According to the institute, there are over 32,000 associate accounting technicians under the umbrella of the Association of Accountancy Bodies in West Africa.
Also, the Vice President of ICAN and Chairman of the AAT Executive Committee, Haruna Yahaya, called on the inductees to “embrace the opportunities for professional development and to contribute positively to the various sectors you will serve”.
“The skills and knowledge you have acquired are tools that will allow you to make significant impacts, not only in your workplaces but also in the broader economic landscapes of our nation and beyond,” he noted.
Miss Ayomide Faleye was named the beneficiary of the star prize, ICAN Silver Scholarship, for her outstanding performance in the preceding examinations diet.
