The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Guyana (ICAG), currently investigating an allegation of misconduct against Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Commissioner-General Khurshid Sattaur, says regulating the discipline and professional conduct of its members is part of its legal mandate.
The ICAG has reiterated its mandate following accusations against the body by Sattaur, who suggested that it was out of line in subjecting him to disciplinary proceedings.
It was revealed last week that the Disciplinary Committee of the ICAG is investigating an allegation of misconduct made against Sattaur, who in turn accused the members of the accountancy body of colluding with the complainant, Kaieteur News publisher Glenn Lall, to discredit him. Sattaur is being accused of abusing his office and breaching secrecy regulations by leaking confidential information on a taxpayer.
Sattaur has accused members of the ICAG of bias in investigating the complaint and demanded the process be brought to an end immediately,
