Accounting Icon, Pa Akintola Williams, Passes Away At 104
The doyen of the accounting profession, Pa Akintola Williams, has passed away at the age of 104 years old.
Supposedly the main Sub-Saharan African to turn into a contracted bookkeeper, he praised his 104th birthday celebration on August 9.
Dad Williams is supposedly the main Sub-Saharan African to turn into a sanctioned bookkeeper after he breezed through the passing assessment of the Establishment of Contracted Bookkeepers of Britain and Ribs (ICAEW) in 1949.
The symbol assumed a main part in the improvement of the accounting calling in the nation by working with the foundation of the Relationship of accountings in Nigeria, which transformed into the Institute of Charter Accountant of Nigeria (ICAN).
He proceeded to turn into an establishing individual from ICAN and was likewise engaged with laying out the Nigerian Stock Trade, presently the Nigerian Trade Gathering.
A carefully prepared chairman, Williams was an exceptional accountant, the executives expert and sequential business person in his dynamic working days.
After his early education in Nigeria, Williams obtained a Bachelor of Commerce Degree (majoring in Banking and Finance) from the University of London in 1946 before he qualified as a Chartered Accountant in England.
He worked with the Inland Revenue as an assessment officer from 1950 to 1952, when he left the civil service and founded Akintola Williams & Co., the first indigenous firm of chartered accountants in Africa (now Deloitte & Touche Nigeria).
