Former president ACCA joins AGiG seminar

Former ACCA president Joseph Owolabi joined our members at the November 2024 AGiG seminar!

Joseph led insightful discussions on the future of accounting, sustainability reporting, and global financial standards, with a deep dive into IFRS 18 updates and the upcoming EU sustainability directives. His expertise and guidance on navigating these complexities were invaluable.

The presentation highlighted the growing importance of internationally recognized financial expertise and the ACCA qualification. It was a fantastic opportunity for members to network, exchange ideas, and stay ahead in the ever-evolving world of accounting.

Thank you, Joseph, for your inspiring leadership and insights!
