‘MTN Nigeria Will Not Go Public in April 2018’

Despite the recent assurance from Mr. Rob Shuter, Group CEO of MTN that its Nigerian operation will enlist on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) in April 2018, a senior official says the company is still thinking through the process of going public in Nigeria due to the huge fine imposed on it by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).

The official told Business Journal in Lagos that the announcement of the April 2018 date was meant to deflect intense pressure on the company from the Nigerian government and the NCC.

He maintained that the company will possibly shift the date of going public as much as possible until the pressure on them wanes.

Arthur Andersen: Fall From Grace-A Sad Tale of Greed!

At "Andersen U.," the lush, 150-acre campus where Arthur Andersen LLP has trained tens of thousands of new recruits, there's a shrinento ethical accounting. A display in the Andersen Heritage Center is devoted to yellowing press clippings of a long-ago campaign to clean up the accounting industry by Leonard Spacek, who led the firm from 1947 to 1963. In one, he accused Bethlehem Steel of overstating its profits in 1964 by more than 60%. In another, he bashed the Securities and Exchange Commission for failing to crack down on companies that cooked their books, saying that at best the regulatory agency has been "a brake on the rate of retrogression in the quality of accounting."
