ACCA President to pay working visit

The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) President, Professor Barry Cooper, will be visiting Ghana and will make several stops, including engaging with some of Ghana’s key employers such as Unilever, Deloitte and the Ghana Stock Exchange.

The visit will play an important role in enhancing employer and key stakeholder engagement by emphasising their importance as partners to ACCA, sharing the organisation’s vision as well as depth of work on Research and Insights.

Speaking about his visit, Prof Cooper said: “It is my hope that my visit to Ghana will bring forth an increased commitment from family-employers in working with ACCA as the preferred partner in building their finance capability and leveraging on each other’s brand.”

He continued: “I can only hope that my presence within the country will give further assurance to ACCA members and students about their associations’ commitment to Ghana, as well as an opportunity to promote the theme of ‘partnership’ with our important stakeholders. They need to feel that they can work with us and that various avenues exist for collaborations.”

The visit will also provide an occasion for ACCA to showcase its brand as an international body with a core value of working for the public good.  ACCA hopes to make known to the general public all that it does to support the accountancy profession, and highlight key messages on commitment to driving the agenda on public value and interest at all times.
