John Mark Okondo
finance director, GlaxoSmithKline, Kenya
John Okondo wanted to study for an international qualification, and for him ACCA was the natural choice.
'I wanted an international qualification. However, ACCA stands for more than that; it stands for quality, competency and opportunity. ACCA members are simply better trained finance professionals.'
John rates integrity as one of the most important aspects of being a finance professional.
'Responsibility is a big issue. All parties need to be able to rely on you to perform duties to the highest ethical standards.'
