The Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana held its annual fun games at the Ajax (1) Field, University of Ghana, Legon, yesterday, with the aim of promoting healthy living among members.
Among the large participants were members of the institute, practising firms such as KPMG, PricewaterHouseCoopers, Deloitte and Touche, PKF, the 2009 and 2010 year groups, as well as other organisations.
The Chief Executive Officer of the institute, Mr Kwasi Asante, said the fun games formed part of its 2010 Accountants Week celebrations which began on Saturday, May 22, 2010 and will end on Friday, May 28, 2010.
He said every year the institute began its week celebrations with fun games and rounded it off with a dinner dance, noting that the main aim of the games was to promote healthy living among its members for effective work.
Mr Asante said the games were also to create the platform for members to interact, have fun, build cohesion and a sense of belonging to help project the image and profile of the institute.
The event was entertaining, with a high level of competitiveness displayed by the teams in the 100-metre race, the sack race, table tennis, football, lime and spoon, tug-of-war and three-legged race.
Special awards were presented to members who excelled in the various games.
The week-long celebration, on the theme, “Sustaining Value Creation”, will be marked with a press conference, an accountants’ conference and an annual general meeting.
Mr Asante said topics to be discussed were ‘shaping the next generation of accountants’, ‘risk management and internal controls’, ‘climate change reporting’, among others, and called on members to make the week-long celebration a success by taking part in the activities.
