ACCA Grants FCT-IRS Approved Employer Recognition

Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) has granted the Federal Capital Territory Internal Revenue Service (FCT-IRS) the designation of Approved Employer Honor in recognition of its unmatched efforts to develop skilled and enduring staff.

In a statement signed by the head corporate communications, FCT-IRS, Mustapha Sumaila, the certificate was formally given to the acting executive chairman FCT-IRS, Mr Haruna Abdullahi, during a visit by members of the association at the service headquarters in Abuja.

Abdullahi expressed appreciation to the ACCA stating that the recognition is timely and advantageous as it gives the service an edge locally and globally, particularly concerning capacity building.

The acting executive chairman said the ACCA is a global platform, and recognition from such a prestigious association is capable of taking the service to the next level.

He said the Approved Employer Recognition is a big deal for staff and a huge responsibility to the service to ensure that all staff is properly trained to maintain the standard and uphold the service image.

The FCT-IRS boss assured the team of the continuous partnership and collaboration of the service in building a “new public sector” equipped with skilled, diligent, and competent employees.

Earlier, the ACCA country manager in Nigeria, Mr Tom Isibor who congratulated the acting executive chairman and the entire management for this feat, said he was particularly happy that the acting executive chairman himself is a Fellow of Chartered Certified Accountants (FCCA).

Isibor explained that the Approved Employer Recognition is an outstanding achievement packed with vast benefits which the service should and must explore.

He highlighted that this feat is an investment in human capital development which gives the service access to a robust network of members and communities across the world.

He also affirmed that the certification provides the service access to ACCA collateral content and intellectual property, all in a bid to build a productive, competent, and efficient workforce.

Leveraging on the formal presentation of the Approved Employer Recognition certificate to the acting executive chairman, Isibor stated that the association looks forward to explicit partnership and collaboration with the service to amass more productive and mutually beneficial ventures that will improve staff capacity.
