CIC Holdings PLC walked away with top
honours in the Manufacturing Sector at the recently held Best Presented
Annual Report (BPA) Awards, which are the regional awards organised by
the South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA) to recognise excellence
in presentation and disclosure of financial reporting. The BPA Awards
was hosted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka
(CASL), one of the founding members of SAFA.
Published under the theme “Redwood in a
Green Forest,” CIC’s awarded annual report maps out the company profile
in the business landscape in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, the report features
the company’s efforts in sustainably supporting local industry through
their programmes and initiatives, a concept which is given increasing
significance when evaluating the health of any organisation.
Conducted since 1996, the SAFA Best
Presented Annual Report Awards judges the annual reports nominated by
the respective accounting bodies in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal
and Sri Lanka. Each publication is then evaluated under the various
business sectors based on the criteria outlined by SAFA’s Committee for
Improvement in Transparency, Accountability and Governance in an annual
report.
The South Asian Federation of
Accountants is the apex body of the South Asian Association for Regional
Co-operation (SAARC) and a regional grouping of the International
Federation of Accountants (IFAC). It consists of the institutes of
chartered accountants and the institutes of cost and management
accountants in the SAARC countries who have worked together towards the
objective of developing and improving the profession of accountancy
within the region.
