ACCA Achievement Awards 2008

The ACCA Achievement Awards recognise individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to developing the accounting and finance profession. The awards are based on merit and given to individuals whose contributions deserve global recognition and whose efforts reflect ACCA’s core values of accountability, diversity, innovation, integrity and opportunity.
To reflect ACCA’s position as the largest global professional accountancy body, Achievement Award winners are selected annually from each of the following regions: Africa and the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Criteria
Individuals nominated for an award will be judged on how their actions have made a significant contribution to the profession against one, or a combination of, the following criteria:
• developing the global accounting and finance profession
• developing the profession within their country or business community
• demonstrating extraordinary leadership through a lifetime of achievement in accounting and finance
• developing ACCA nationally, regionally or globally.

Eligibility for an award
ACCA recognises that it is not just qualified accounting
and finance professionals who have a part to play in developing the profession. Therefore nominees can be
ACCA members or non-members from any business, local or national government, NGO or educational institution.
It is the individual’s contribution to developing the profession that is important. For example, nominees
may be:
• an education provider who has worked to remove the barriers to education by providing access to quality accounting and finance tuition programmes
• a government or NGO representative who has been active in developing the profession in their country
• an ACCA member who has championed the cause of integrity, accountability and professional ethics in the accounting and finance community
• a member of another professional body who has been active in building the profession in their country, region or internationally.

Announcements
Winners of the ACCA Achievement Awards 2008 will be announced in November. The winners will be invited to attend a prestigious event where they will be presented with a specially-designed award.
Details of the winners will be included on the awards website at www.accaglobal.com/publicinterest/achievement
