Annual Financial Sciences Awards recipients celebrated

Posted on October 08, 2021

The Annual Financial Sciences Awards Ceremony was established in 2011 to acknowledge the top students in the departments of Accounting, Auditing, Financial Management and Taxation in UP’s Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences.
 
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the main sponsors Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers sponsored the hosting of the ceremony, including the refreshments, décor, photographer and flowers, and award recipients received prizes from corporate sponsors. During the last two years, the prize-winners received their prizes and certificates by courier.
 
The departments congratulate the winning students for their achievements and highly appreciate the commitment and contributions of all sponsors.
 
If you would like to sponsor one of the top students in future, please email Abigail Shaw at [email protected].
