The purpose of the conference is to hold conversations that enhance the accounting profession, reposition accountants as professionals for greater impact and relevance.
According to the ICAN President, Mrs. Comfort Olu Eyitayo, mini FCA,an enhanced profession and professionalism is a plus to our national economy, first, and by influence, the global economy.
She added that the theme of this year’s conference, TRUST IN GOVERNANCE, came from the need to bridge the trust gap between the governed and the government, enterprises and clients.
