The Ministry of Education has urged newly qualified accountants and newly inducted members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana (ICAG), to uphold integrity, accountability and ethical standards in the discharge of their professional duties.
The appeal was made on behalf of the Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, by Prof. George K.T. Oduro at ICAG’s 47th Graduation and Admission Ceremony held at the UPSA Auditorium on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
Speaking on the theme, “Empowering the Next Generation of Professionals for Ghana’s Sustainable Development,” Prof. Oduro stressed the importance of combining professional competence with honesty and responsible conduct.
He also highlighted the need for sound financial management, particularly within public institutions, urging the new professionals to demonstrate high ethical standards in handling financial responsibilities.
The Ministry’s message underscored the critical role accountants play in promoting transparency, accountability and good governance, as Ghana works towards sustainable development.
