Anambra State Accounting Staff Association (ASASA) has urged Accountants to discharge their professional responsibilities effectively by upholding transparency, accountability, integrity and ethical standards in the management of financial resources.
Chairman, Onyekwe Albert Ude gave the charge while speaking on International Accounting Day at Jerome Udorji Secretariat in Awka, celebrated annually on November 10 to recognise the contributions of accounting professionals to economic development and financial management.
He charged them to remain committed to the principles of honesty, accuracy and professionalism in carrying out their duties, noting that their roles are critical to the growth and sustainability of both public and private sector organisations.
He also advised them to ensure proper documentation of financial transactions, prepare accurate financial reports and maintain accountability in the management of funds to promote public confidence and prevent financial mismanagement.
