Following a viral video alleging impersonation during one of its examinations, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) has reiterated its zero-tolerance stance on examination malpractice.
Recall a video circulated earlier in the week showing a candidate caught sitting for the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) examination on behalf of Sarah Enoch Adi, the Commissioner for Finance in Taraba State.
In the recording, examination supervisors question the suspect, who identified herself as Leavitt Felix.
However, in a statement signed on Monday by its Registrar/Chief Executive, Lanre Olasunkanmi, the Institute stressed that its examination processes are anchored on global standards of integrity. It warned that any attempt to compromise them would attract serious disciplinary measures.
“ICAN wishes to state unequivocally that it maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for all forms of examination malpractice, including impersonation. The Institute’s examination processes are guided by globally accepted standards of integrity, and any attempt to compromise them is treated with utmost seriousness,” Olasunkanmi stated.
According to him, “In line with this commitment, ICAN has commenced a thorough investigation into the matter. Appropriate disciplinary measures will be applied in accordance with established regulations, and the findings will be communicated transparently to stakeholders.”
