NAMA deploys automated accounting system
The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) said it has taken steps towards entrenching a more effective digital accounting system that would meet the growing demands of the agency.
Speaking at a two-day NAMA Accountants Retreat which held in Lagos, Managing Director of NAMA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu said the new move was borne out of “the agency’s commitment towards promoting transparency, accountability and fiscal discipline in the system”.
Akinkuotu who charged staff of the agency to embrace technology said “the recently issued Federal Government Executive Orders on the ease of doing business in the country demands that we carry out our business transactions on an e-basis”.
He said management would support the finance department in its quest for the best available technology that would meet industry best practices and also enhance efficiency in service delivery.
The Director of Finance and Accounts, Mr Aniefiok Umoh called for the cooperation of staff as the agency transits from the “manual system of preparing financial and management information reports to automated processes” granted that “everything in our environment is going electronic.”
“If it is not e-learning, it is e-commerce. If not e-business, then it is e-transaction and NAMA cannot afford to be left behind,” Aniefiok said.
General Manager, Finance, Mr. David Akpan said accounting just like any other profession is passing through a dynamic phase and that the role of accountants will continue to undergo a series of changes.
