The Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) have recognised Zack Enslin, Associate Professor at the University of Pretoria (UP) with a CGMA Global Gold Teaching Award at
their Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) Accounting Educator Awards 2025. This award honours educators who go above and beyond to build students’ skills and confidence.
The CGMA Accounting Educator Awards celebrate the invaluable contributions of accounting educators to the global accounting and finance profession. This year’s awards recognise outstanding CGMA higher education academic partners, CGMA tutors, and – for the first time – high school and college-level accounting educators.
Prof Elda du Toit, Head of the
Department of Financial Management at UP, said: “Prof Enslin’s recognition with the CGMA Global Gold Teaching Award reflects his sustained commitment to educational excellence and innovation in accounting education. His dedication to nurturing critical thinking and professional competence among students aligns closely with the UP’s mission to develop globally competitive and ethically grounded graduates. We are immensely proud of his achievement and the international recognition it brings to our institution.”
Jan Taylor, CPA, CGMA, PhD, Senior Director, Academic and Student Engagement at the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, the global alliance formed by AICPA and CIMA, said: “We are delighted to recognise passionate educators from around the world who have dedicated themselves to nurturing and developing curious, driven young accounting and finance talent.
“Day after day, they inspire their students to explore the many possibilities within the accounting and finance profession, support them to build technical and business skills, and grow their confidence as future professionals. It is an honour to celebrate their contributions to the profession and its future.”
