Speaking at the ACCA Future Members Awards and Recognition Ceremony in Accra, ACCA Ghana Chairperson, Network Panel, Audrey Naa Dei Charged the newly Affiliates and Certified practitioners and ACCA students to be passion driven and abide by the rudiments of the accounting profession.
The current economic crisis calls for innovation. It calls for accounting and financing professionals who can think out of the box. And that is what ACCA does.
At ACCA, we have a global network which our students are plugged in and that gives the opportunity to share and exchange pragmatic ideas globally. This idea and expertise that members acquire from networking with ACCA and affiliates such as PWC Ghana, KPMG, EY, Deloitte and other professional companies make the members competent. This can easily tone their skills as the leverage on all the opportunities to plug into our local economy
In his keynote address, the Chief Instructor- Army Faculty- Ghana Military Academy, Colonel Noble Carl Dei- Alorse encourage the members to make conscious efforts to demonstrate the quotients of the profession at various working environment .He also suggested to the audience to critically leverage on digital currency which is not influenced by the current inflationary rates.
