ANAN Launches New AATC and Strategic Identity in Abuja

The Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN) launched its new Accounting Technician Certification (AATC) and unveiled a refreshed strategic identity during its 31st Annual National Conference at the International Conference Centre in Abuja. The initiatives were introduced by ANAN President Hajia Zuwairat Talatu Kishimi, with Prof. Suleiman Aruwa explaining the programs' significance for the accounting profession.

The new identity aims to position ANAN as a recognized authority in professional accountancy, emphasizing excellence, integrity, and global relevance. Its core values, encapsulated in the acronym PLANTED (Professionalism, Leadership, Accountability, Nobility, Transparency, and Discipline) are intended to enhance trust and governance within the profession.

The AATC is a structured three-level program aligned with the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) Accounting Technician Competency Framework, offering a pathway from foundational knowledge to advanced technician competence, leading into ANAN’s professional examinations.
