Tongan Prime Minister Hon. Rev. Dr Pohiva Tu’i’onetoa was today conferred as a Fellow of the Institute of Certified Management Accountants of Australia, by the Australian High Commissioner, HE Mr Adrian Morrison, on behalf of the institute (ICMA). 

"This achievement is a profound and most humbling moment for me," said Rev. Dr Tu'i'onetoa, who served as a former Auditor-General and has worked as an accountant and auditor.

"I have used this intellectual ability to assist the decision makers, including the leaders to make well calculated decisions based on the accuracy, the reliability, credibility and with complete financial information that are provided and audited on a timely basis in order to help government ministries, the people and business community to make the right decisions."

The event was held at the Fa’onelua Convention Centre.
