The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Ghana has inducted 130 new members, calling on them to adopt digital tools and maintain high ethical standards.

ACCA Ghana Network Panel chairperson Carl Noble Doe Dei-Alorse was quoted by the news portal as saying: “This induction marks the culmination of years of rigorous study, sacrifice and perseverance.

“Today, we celebrate not only your success in examinations but your resilience and commitment to the highest standards of our profession.”
He explained that the work of accountants is shifting as digital tools and systems become central to how organisations handle finances and information.
“Over the past few years, technology has transformed accountancy. Machine learning, AI and digital systems have changed how we collect and interpret data.
“The modern accountant is no longer confined to the back office. You are strategic advisers, analysts and trusted partners in decision-making,” he added.
KPMG Ghana People Partner Colette Atsu-Djadou delivered the keynote address at the ceremony. Atsu-Djadou also pointed to the changing context in which accountants operate.
She was quoted by the publication as saying: “The world of finance and business is being reshaped by technology, global interconnectedness and shifting organisational expectations.
“Accountants today must do more than interpret numbers; they must provide insight and influence decisions at the highest levels.”
She said automation makes human judgement more valuable, arguing that as AI takes over routine tasks, integrity, ethical reasoning and professional trust will set accountants apart.
Founded in 1904, the ACCA has more than 240,000 members and 540,000 future members in more than 170 countries.
