The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria, ICAN, is to ensure that all companies listed on the floor of the Nigeria Stock Exchange comply with the rules of the International Financial reporting standards.

The President of the Institute, Professor Francis Ojaide stated this when he led a delegation of the institute’s management staff on a visit to the Director-General of FRCN Mallam Yusuf Nuhu in Abuja.

Professor Ojaide said the rules would be effective from January 2012 and solicited the support of Radio Nigeria in sensitizing members of the public on the issues.

Responding, the Director-General of FRCN, Mallam Yusuf Nuhu said the Corporation has more than thirty members of ICAN and expressed the commitment of the organisation to ensure that ICAN succeed in carrying out its mandate.

The Director, Administration and Supplies of FRCN, Mr. Alex Ogoigbe had earlier received the Managing Director of DERMO IMPEX Nigeria Limited, Mr. Anthony Uwa, who was in his office to seek the Corporation’s collaboration on a data and information registry project.

Mr. Uwa said the aim of the project, which starts with the FCT, was to ensure smooth flow of data and information from the grassroots to the national level.

Responding on behalf of the Director-General FRCN, Mr. Ogoigbe said the Corporation would support the project through its news and programmes.
