Nigeria’s Financial Statement in Compliance with IPSAS- AGF

Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr. Ahmed Idris has revealed that the 2015 Financial Statements of the Federal Government was prepared based on the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Accrual basis (IPSAS Accrual basis), thus making it the first of its kind in the history of Government’s  financial reporting in Nigeria.

Addressing the ICAN board and council members yesterday, when the members of  Premier Accounting Institute  led by its president, Mr. Ismaila Mohammadu Zakari paid him  a working visit at the Treasury House,   Mr. Ahmed Idris explained that preparing the Financial statement  based on IPSAS Accrual was in keeping with his promise to ensure that the Treasury maintains a more transparent, efficient and comprehensive public financial management that will provide a more accurate view  of Government’s financial position at any given time.

He therefore commended  ICAN for their unflinching support toward the implementation of the various  public financial reforms being anchored by the Treasury and challenged them to make their voice much louder in the area of the Economy, saying that the body has the wherewithal to strategically engage the government with a view to improving the management of the economy.

Pledging the support of the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation to the programmes and projects of the Institute,  the AGF said “ this office will always support any ideas or programmes brought about by ICAN or any other professional body aimed at stemming corruption and improving probity in the management of the economy”.
