2020-2024 Strategic Plan:&#13;
&#13;
A fie-year strategic plan was developed&#13;
during the year under review. The plan is&#13;
expected to be implemented from 2020 to&#13;
2024. The objective of the strategic plan&#13;
is to strengthen the regulatory capacity of&#13;
the Institute and enhance its image as the&#13;
regulator of the Accountancy profession in&#13;
Ghana. The strategy is geared toward meeting&#13;
the expectations of its key stakeholders and&#13;
deliver value-added services in line with the&#13;
changing business climate.&#13;
The main themes of the strategic plan are&#13;
outlined below:&#13;
1. Enhancing Regulatory and Legal&#13;
 Environment&#13;
2. Building a vibrant Corporate Brand&#13;
3. Enhancing the quality of Accountancy&#13;
 Practice&#13;
4. Building an effiient ICT and operational&#13;
 capacity&#13;
5. Enhancing the capacity of Members&#13;
6. Benchmarking Professional Qualifiations
The ICAG Draft Bill:&#13;
&#13;
The need to review the Act to reflct changing&#13;
trends cannot be over-emphasized since it&#13;
will add breadth to its usefulness in assessing&#13;
and monitoring professional accountants in&#13;
their various filds of endeavour to ensure&#13;
compliance with statutory requirements.&#13;
These developments necessitated the&#13;
revision of the existing Act and the recast of&#13;
the draft bill to augment its relevance and&#13;
further strengthen the Institute’s regulatory&#13;
function, among others.&#13;
I have the pleasure of informing you that&#13;
the draft bill has since been laid before&#13;
parliament and has gone through the 1st reading. We are working with our colleague&#13;
members in parliament to ensure the bill is&#13;
passed in good time.&#13;
Once the new law is enacted, the tentacles&#13;
of the Institute will extend beyond its current&#13;
reach to regulate, control, set standards&#13;
and manage the practice of accountancy&#13;
in Ghana. Regulations and bye-laws will be&#13;
promulgated to enforce standard practices&#13;
expected of professional accountants in&#13;
line with ethical and professional standards.&#13;
This will also include the enforcement of&#13;
mandatory membership of ICAG by CAs&#13;
and other affiiate international bodies in&#13;
both public and private practice.
