This was while opening the 11th Certified Public Accountants (CPA) Economic Forum at Imperial Resort Beach Hotel Entebbe under the theme National priorities for economic development organized by the Institute of Public Accountants of Uganda (ICPAU).
Obua however implored public accountants to stick to their professional ethics and ensure that they are legally reorganized through formal registration authority with their mother associations’ reorganized by government.
The newly elected President of the ICPAU, CPA Josephine Okui Okwakol Ossiya says that there is a need to increase domestic revenue mobilization together with rationalization of public spending if to achieve development goals.
She says that the government needs to continue considering the proposals of ICPAU in widening the tax base.
