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”.

He particular commended the AGF and his team for clearing the back-log of  Government  Statutory Financial  statements which has been pending since 2012, by preparing and publishing the statements up to 2015, adding that “I had it on good authority that the 2016 is being finalized for publication while work on the 2017 has already commenced”.

According to Mr. Zakari, as part of her contribution to improving transparency and efficiency in the management of public finance in the country, the institute has developed an Accountability index which is aimed at assessing the public finance management across the 3 tiers of Government.

He urged the federal government not only to participate in the ICAN Accountability index but also to strive to meet up with the highest accountability standards in the country saying ICAN is poised to make the report meet the best international standards.
