Ethics inegrated for success

In the increasingly globalized village our world is becoming, developing effective regional structures is essential across the spectrum of economic activity. Among the most important, some would say the most vital - a component of the financial industry is accountancy. As has been widely reported, this profession when performed with the utmost respect to its high ethical standards, can streamline economies for more sustainable growth. If not, many more Enrons would continue
to wreak havoc in global finance.
The rapid pace of economic development in Ethiopia over the last half a dozen years has brought into focus the essentiality of professional accountancy as business in general expands.
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants ACCA is an east and central Africa regional body which aims to introduce best practice and linkage in and among the economies of the region.
It established an Addis Ababa office in 2004 and has since organized various public awareness events on its aims and objectives.
Capital had the opportunity to talk to W/o Hikmet Abdella, Country Manager of ACCA and Mr. Allen Blewitt CEO of ACCA International when they were in Addis recently to honor and award professors, Johannes Kinfu and Getachew Kassaye, pioneers in the accountancy profession in Ethiopia.
