BofA hires Citi’s Chief Accounting Officer Okpara, FT reports

(Reuters) – Bank of America has hired Citigroup’s Chief Accounting Officer Johnbull Okpara to act in the same position, the Financial Times reported on Monday.

Okpara resigned from Citi earlier this month. At Bank of America, he will replace Rudolf Bless, who has been the chief accounting officer at BofA for nearly a decade, the report added, citing an internal memo.
