The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) says Nigeria’s former Accountant-General, Alhaji Ahmed Idris is not a member of ICAN and therefore cannot be investigated and sanctioned by ICAN.
The body was reacting to the demand by the Human & Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA) for ICAN to investigate and sanction the erstwhile Accountant-General of the Federation being probed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for corruption.
A statement signed by Ahmed M. Kumshe, Registrar/Chief Executive, said, “We wish to inform the organization and the general public that the former Accountant-General, Alhaji Ahmed Idris is not a member of ICAN and therefore cannot be investigated and sanctioned by ICAN.
“Our act only allows us to regulate and discipline our members when they err at our Investigating Panel or Disciplinary Tribunal as the case may be.
“We appreciate the concern of HEDA and wish to assure the public and other stakeholders of our resolve to serve the public interest always.”
