Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Auditor-General, Mildred Chiri, has implored accounting professionals to shun corruption, saying dabbling in corrupt activities can jeopardise one\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

Chiri made the remarks while speaking at the 2022 Premier Business School (PBS) awards ceremony in Harare last Thursday.<\/p>\n

She urged accounting professionals who were awarded the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) certification to use the skills they had acquired to help rebuild the country\u2019s economy. Chiri said:<\/p>\n

Go out there and be ethical accountants with integrity. Corruption kills both yourself and the country.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be involved in corrupt activities that jeopardise your career, and do not aspire to acquire wealth at any cost.<\/p>\n

We have seen many scandals in the private and public sectors, some of which were perpetrated by qualified accountants.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t expect that from you as products of Premier Business School.<\/p>\n

Integrity and ethics should be the backbone of any accounting professional.<\/p>\n

Without integrity and ethics, you cannot be a successful accountant or finance person.<\/p>\n

The profession requires high levels of discipline, and without integrity, it is almost impossible for you to achieve sustained success.<\/p>\n

Chiri also commended the award recipients for completing their studies despite the challenges brought by the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
