International Accounting Day: Be custodian of public trust – Acting AGF tasks accountants

Mr Okolieaboh Sylva, the Acting Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), has urged accounting professionals to be custodians of public trust as they carry out their duties in their respective organisations.

He gave the advice when members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) Abuja and District Society visited the Nations’ Treasury House in Abuja to commemorate this year’s International Accounting Day.

He said that it was important for them to ensure probity, accountability and transparency in the use of public resources.

According to him, accountants must be people who can be trusted and they must exhibit all forms of integrity in their deeds.

The day started with a health walk from the ICAN House through Berger Junction and ended at the office of the AGF.
