The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) has launched an investigation into an allegation of examination malpractice.

In a viral video, a man and a woman were caught writing an examination on behalf of a public office holder.

ICAN’s registrar, Lanre Olasunkanmi, in a statement, condemned the act, emphasising that the institute has zero tolerance for examination malpractice.

“As the foremost professional accountancy body in Nigeria, ICAN wishes to state unequivocally that it maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for all forms of examination malpractice, including impersonation,” said Olasunkanmi.

“The institute’s examination processes are guided by globally accepted standards of integrity, and any attempt to compromise them is treated with utmost seriousness.”

The registrar also noted that the institute has commenced an investigation into the allegations, and sanctions would be enforced in accordance with the institute’s regulations.

He also urged members of the public to refrain from drawing speculations on the matter.

“The Institute, therefore, urges the public to refrain from speculation or drawing conclusions based on unverified claims.

“ICAN remains firmly committed to safeguarding the credibility of its examinations and protecting the reputation of the accounting profession in Nigeria and beyond.”
