On 12 June during the ACCA Members’ Networking Event three outstanding finance professionals, managers and leaders received the ACCA Poland Member Engagement Awards 2019.
The awards' objective is to commemmorate those members who go well above and beyond their obligation to the ACCA community and engage themselves in three categories of activity critical to the development of the organisation:
- Member Advocacy - building brand relevance and awareness among students, both at University level as well as among enrolled ACCA students,
- Member Development - helping other ACCA members develop relevant finance skills by sharing knowledge in a structured form (workshops etc.),
- Member Ambassadorship - promoting employees' career and business and finance skills development within own company through the ACCA Qualification.
ACCA Poland and Baltic Countries office has decided that in 2019 the following members are awarded for their outstanding performance:
