Outgoing Senior Country Partner of KPMG Nii Amanor Dodoo was yesterday honoured for his four decades of dedicated service to the audit firm.
A dinner held in his honour at the plush Accra Marriot Hotel was attended by key clients, current and former work colleagues, as well as close family relations.
Speaking to Citi Business on his four decades of service to the audit firm, Mr. Amanor Dodoo described his stay as a rollercoaster ride with many exciting times.
“Serving the business community has been an exceptional privilege. Clearly, for the people who place a lot of reliance on the work that we do, I believe it has been some kind of honor to serve them.
We try to excel in anything that we do; I don’t think there is been a kind of service that we have provided that falls short and it measures up to anything you can get in any part of the world,” he stated.
