The Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) yesterday thrown its weight behind the ongoing crusade against corruption by the federal government describing it as a right action for a right direction to a right future.
The national president of the Association, Mr Anthony Chukwuemeka Nzom stated this while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after the opening ceremony of the second session of 2016 “Mandatory Continuing Professional Development Program” held in Dutse Jigawa state capital.
He said, in view of that, the association chose the theme of this year’s training as “ Challenge and Landmark Issues In Accounting Profession” to enhance the professional capacity of its members.
According to him professional and effective financial management are key factor toward checkmating corruption, mismanagement of public fund and also salvaging the Nigerian economy which is in a very difficult condition.
He noted that accountants are key players in the financial management of every organisation, emphasising that, enhancing their professional capacity, ethic and moral values of the profession will significantly help in fighting against corruption and ensuring probity in funds management.
The president however expressed the support of his association to the federal government’s anti-devalution of Naira stance describing it as best decision as Nigeria is operating import-dependent economy.
“We wish to categorically say, devaluation of the national currency is not a solution to the foreign exchange crisis facing Nigeria due to sharp fall in oil prices, such action will do more harm to the economy” said the president.
“Diversification of the country economy from present mono economy solely dependent on petroleum, is the best idea for attracting viable international investment, providing employments opportunity
