A GOODWILL MESSAGE DELIVERED BY 

SAMUEL O. NZEKWE, MBF, FCNA.

PRESIDENT OF ANAN

DURING A TWO - DAY WORKSHOP ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR PUBLIC QUOTED COMPANIES ORGANISED BY SEC IN COLLABORATION WITH CAPITAL MARKET INSTITUTE BETWEEN 20^TH TO 21^ST MAY, 2008.

PROTOCOL 

On behalf of myself, the Governing Council and the entire members of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria, I would like to express our gratitude to the Securities and Exchange Commission for seeing me worthy to give a goodwill message at the opening ceremony of this workshop.

This workshop would not have come at a better time than this period, a period we just witnessed the sanctioning of some preparers of financial statements with material misstatements. 

This singular act by the Commission has shown that no body or Institution can be bigger than the nation and is in line with the age long principle of the Rule of Law preached and practiced by the present administration. This aptly shows that the Commission is alive to its responsibilities and discharging its duties diligently and honestly in accordance with laid down codes. We urge the Commission not to relent in this exercise until the entire polity is sanitized. 

There is the need for the Commission to ensure that stakeholders have a clear understanding of their roles and duties in publishing financial statements. One key way of improving the standard and inculcating Corporate Governance in the way and manner the affairs of companies are conducted is to ensure that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of their roles.
