Accountants offer training on ethics to government

| 27/11/2012

(CNS): A professional; development conference specifically for finance and audit personnel working in government opened Monday examining governance, performance auditing, ethics and values. Hosted by the Cayman Islands Society of Professional Accountants (CISPA) officials said the event was an opportunity to share best practice.  . Keynote speakers will include the Governor, Duncan Taylor, the deputy governor Franz Manderson, the auditor general Alastair Swarbrick, and chair of the CTC Nick Freeland. Manderson encouraged all public sector finance employees to sign up for the training.

“I would also like to encourage managers in all government entities to consider attending the sessions to hear about what is happening in the government today. This is a terrific way to learn about what you need to know and to hear about what challenges lie ahead,” he added.

The training will run until Friday at the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort. Working with the Civil Service College and a planning committee made up of senior accounting and auditing officials, the topics that will be discussed include governance, ethics and values, performance auditing and what is new and challenging with public sector accounting standards.

Sponsored by local accounting firms and associations, participants will pay only $100 per day to attend. Information about the event, speakers and registration is available at www.cispa.ky. For information about the event, please call David Stock at 244-3190.

    This is like teaching foxes how to guard the henhouse.

    We waste so much of our time chasing money. It is a horrible invention and creates hideous imbalances in our world. The entire financial system is a scam and the sooner we wake up, the better off we will be.

    Why do you think the streets of heaven are gold? No one would give a second thought to the road they are walking on. Try that down here and you'd have the biggest free-for-all since Moses cracked the rock in the desert.

    Would it be an oppertunity for McKeeva to participate ?

    If somebody has an issue with financial ethics, it must be him.

    But as usual the lower levels of management are blamed, while the top enriches itself.

    This is the best way to fool the public and it works every single time.
