    "content": "Another proposal in this Bill is on Accountants Act. Currently, accountants have received a serious beating especially when there are corruption cases in the country. To tackle that, the accountants’ body is proposing some amendments to the Accountants Act. Currently any accountant is an accountant. To be a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants, you must have completed all the sections of the accountants’ course. But currently, almost every organisation has an accountant who has done CPA1, CPA2 or even elementary but call themselves accountants and when they engage in fraud, it is said they are accountants. So, the accountants’ body has no control over such members. So, to beat that, they are proposing that anybody in this country who wishes to do accountancy examination must register at the institute as a member but will be treated as a student member and will be registered free of charge so that it does not prohibit students. They will be treated as student members until they complete their examination then they will become full members. So in the event there are corruption cases touching on a particular member, the institute will discipline such a member and therefore the blame will not be on them."
