Mr.-Nzom-New-President-200x300THE President and Chairman of Council, the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN), Anthony Chukwuemeka Nzom, has enjoined accountants to assist government with timely and qualitative information as well as support it in policy implementation.

He also enjoined them to back other Nigerian professionals with sound professional advice to the government on the myriad of problems confronting the country.

Nzom spoke at the conclusion of ANAN’s 2015 Mandatory Continuing Professional Development (MCPD) programme in Umuahia, adding that the programme aimed at updating accountants with the latest trend in the profession and global requirements.

However, he said that members who shun ANAN programmes like the MCDP might be sanctioned because the programme improves professional skills for tougher challenges posed by changing trends, among others.
