The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya recently proposed a Sh10 million fine for its members involved in fraudulent deals. They argued that accountants play a key role in public service and should, therefore, uphold high standards in dispensing their duties. Financial Standard spoke with the Head of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) in Kenya and Tanzania, Steve Obuogo, on the issue of integrity in the profession and other industrywide issues.
