ACCA Sri Lanka Prizewinners Awards Ceremony

Helen Brand, Chef Executive, ACCA

In these extraordinary times, it’s more important than ever that we at ACCA celebrate this landmark achievement for all of you.

ACCA exams are of course extremely demanding. Our members are prized for the breadth of their expertise, their ability to synthesis knowledge from across the whole spectrum of disciplines within the profession, and the ethical lens they bring to everything. And that makes completing each exam an achievement in itself.

And doing this at a time of such unprecedented challenge is really to be applauded.

Your success is very much a tribute to your hard work and resilience.

You will have all needed to make significant sacrifices, missing social occasions and family commitments while studying for the ACCA Qualification.

And you will have relied on the support and encouragement of your nearest and dearest, your tutors and your employers. So I’d like to thank everyone who has supported you, most especially our ACCA learning providers who can take huge pride in having led you to this success.

And as you embark on the next stage of your ACCA journey – whether that’s more advanced exams or membership - it’s our pledge to you that we’ll continue to support you to achieve your ambitions.

The community of which you’re a part is unmatched in the global accountancy profession. And we’ll make sure you’re fully tapped into this network, all while giving you the very best in support and insight direct from ACCA so you can excel wherever your career might take you.

The value we provide through both global offerings and tailored services from our national and regional teams is one of ACCA real strengths. So

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank our amazing ACCA Sri

Lanka team for everything they’ve done – and are doing – to support our ACCA community.

And as we all move into recovery mode, we’ll continue to be by your side, helping you and the organisations you work for survive and thrive.

On behalf of everyone who works at ACCA, please accept my warmest congratulations on your achievements.
