THE Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, ICAN, conferred Fellowship Award on 1496 members who met the requirement.

Speaking at the 20th Conferment of Fellowship Status in Lagos, 57th President, ICAN, Mrs Comfort Olu. Eyitayo, said the awardees had been examined by the institute and found worthy to be conferred with the highest status of fellows of ICAN.

She said the recipients of the fellowship status were either professional accountants of ICAN who had been in practice for a minimum of five years or members not in practice, with a minimum of ten years post qualification experience.

Eyitayo said the fellowship recipients had acquired, over the years, post-qualification experiences, knowledge and skills that stood them in good stead to be deserving of the highest status in the accountancy profession.

The Institute expects that you would bring to bear your years of experience in contributing to its growth. You have a unique role to play in the affairs of the institute through your invaluable suggestions that would guide the decision of the Governing Council.

However, as part of commitment to producing digitally-relevant professionals, the institute is set to hold its 4th Accounting Technology Summit, Acccounteks, in May to spur extensive discussions on different emerging technologies and how they would impact the accounting profession, while taking into consideration the peculiarities of the Nigerian business landscape.
