Dear Member,
FACULTIES
The effects of Technological and Information change, especially in vastly improved transportation and communications has affected the complexity of business and financial Instruments, thus requiring the accounting profession to produce high quality historic and prospective financial data for internal and external stakeholders that would enable them to make informed decisions.
It is expected that in the near future, businesses would become far more transparent. There will be far greater availability of data and real time financial information will be the norm, stakeholders would also expect much greater access to non-financial data while
the conditions in which we operate would not remain constant.
It is therefore unreasonable to expect Chartered Accountants to be exempt from this worldwide phenomenon. The concept of a one-size-fits-all product, like traditional Chartered Accountant’s services, is rapidly becoming obsolete. The profession needs to focus on customers’ needs and provide services that each customer considers valuable for its own use.
The personal attributes of the Chartered Accountant would include insight, good professional judgment, project management skills, integrity and ethics;
leadership qualities of strategic thinking, planning and a cross-functional perspective;
broad business perspective, which includes a good understanding of one’s organisation and industry, risk management and organizational systems and processes;
functional expertise in the traditional technical skills, including financial analysis.
It is with the above in mind that the Institute established the Faculties as areas of specialization for all its members. These Faculties are centers of excellence for the provision of specialist information and technical advisory services to members in order to increase their proficiency in their areas of professional work that will enable them deliver services of the highest standard to their clients (customers and employers).
The Faculties would provide technical, comprehensive, timely and essential guidelines on current professional issues that would enable the busy professional keep abreast with the ever-changing developments within the profession.
It is mandatory for every member to belong to at least ONE Faculty and a maximum of THREE Faculties.
The Faculties created by Council include:
· Audit, Investigation and Forensic Accounting
· Taxation & Fiscal Policy Management
· Consultancy and Information Technology
· Insolvency and Corporate Re-Engineering
· Public Finance Management
· Corporate Finance Management
