CAC boss cautions lawyers, others over fake documents during registration

The Registrar General/Chief Executive Officer of the Corporate Affairs Commission, Alhaji Garba Abubakar has cautioned lawyers, accountants and chartered secretaries to desist from sharp practices in carrying out any operation with the Commission.

The CAC boss gave the caution while receiving the President of the Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria, Taiwo Olowokolade, who was on a courtesy visit to the Commission.

The RG expressed displeasure over situations where the commission is faced with forged documents at the point of registration.

According to Mr Abubakar, the Commission was ready to take drastic measures against any erring professional, adding that upon the implementation of the CAMA, 2020; the CAC registration portal had placed more responsibilities on professionals acting on the authority of their clients.

This, he stated, was done based on the assumption that professionals would always do the right thing in the interest of their clients.

The Registrar General, however, commended ICSAN for maintaining professional ethics in their conduct and congratulated members of the profession for their reintegration into the CAC Governing Board by the CAMA, 2020.

He assured them of the Commission’s continued support and cooperation and used the forum to congratulate the newly inducted CAC Staff by ICSAN.
