To help the nation out of its current economic troubles, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ghana (ICAG) has encouraged the government to cut waste in its operations.
In order to safeguard public funds, it has also prompted citizens to be truthful in their interactions with the government.
Sena Dake, president of the accounting regulatory body, said at the 41st Graduation and Admission Ceremony of ICAG in Accra last Saturday (June 3), "Devoid of politics, let's reduce waste, let's promote honesty, and let's teach the future generation how to be trustworthy, knowing that it is our attitudinal change that can enhance our stewardship."

721 people who had finished the chartered accountancy programme successfully received their diplomas during the occasion.
From the total of 721, 620 were legally accepted as chartered accountants and full members of ICAG, and 202 were made associate members.
Once they have at least 36 months of professional experience, associate members can upgrade to full membership.
The University of Ghana student Princess Korkor Boateng, 18, became the youngest associate member of ICAG in the profession's history, which was one of the event's highlights.
37 employees from the Economic and Organised Crime Office, the Ghana Police Service, the Audit Service, the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the Narcotics Control Commission, the Financial Intelligence Centre, and the Internal Audit Agency graduated from the training programme for the Post-Chartered Diploma in Forensic Audit that was put on by ICAG in partnership with EOCO.
Members of the ICAG council, Daniel Owusu, the country managing partner of Deloitte, who served as the ceremony's honoree, the executive director of EOCO and COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, a former council member of the ICAG, and professor Abednego Feehi Okoe Amartey, who represented the minister of education, were all in attendance.
efforts According to Ms. Dake, the regulating organisation for the accounting profession, ICAG, is putting in place a variety of efforts to improve the profession's quality and assist the expansion of enterprises and the economy as a whole.
She cited the ICAG's launch of a plan to support business owners and small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) as an example.
They have easier access to chartered accountants' services.
In order to promote everyone's fundamental understanding of financial management, to help defend the public interest, and to foster public trust, she said, "We are also engaging the public through financial literacy."
