A tax expert, Olayinka Oyebola, has advised tax practitioners to steer clear of sharp practices that may bring disrepute to them and their profession.
Oyebola gave the charge while speaking at the 28th Annual Tax Conference organised by the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria in Abuja.
DAILY POST gathered that the conference, with the theme, “Tax Reforms and Global Relevance: Positioning Nigeria’s Tax System for a Sustainable Future,” was attended by scholars, experts and practitioners.
Oyebola, in a statement made available to DAILY POST after the conference on Saturday, urged tax practitioners in the country to uphold ethical practices and integrity in their operations.
He said the theme of the conference was apt.
He added that it would scale up the practice and align it with global best practices.
Oyebola, who spoke further, maintained that his experiences over the years had shown that the country is blessed with experts who can help shape the industry and compete with their peers across the globe.
Oyebola also reiterated his firm’s commitment to standard procedures in line with international best practices.
He urged tax experts in the country to be wary of those who serve as “sharks” aimed at misleading and derailing innocent practitioners.
Oyebola then concluded by challenging practitioners to uphold professionalism and integrity.
