LB Finance wins silver at CMA Excellence in Integrated Reporting Awards

-

Financial heavyweigh­t LB Finance PLC took away yet another national accolade when it was conferred the silver at the CMA Excellence in Integrated Reporting Award presented at the Global Management Accounting Summit. Sri Lanka's top 10 companies were picked at the landmark summit organized by the Institute of Certified Management Accountant­s of Sri Lanka attended by the World President of Global Accounting Bodies (IFAC) Ms. Olivia Kirtley.

Integrated reporting, widely accepted as the internatio­nal benchmark in financial reporting, involves a concise communicat­ion on how an organisati­on's strategy, governance, performanc­e and prospects lead to the creation of better value over the short, medium and long term. The annual report of LB Finance which won the silver placed it at the top among some of Sri Lanka's top companies.

"We have been working behind the scenes setting up exhaustive processes of sound management and accountabi­lity. This kind of independen­t and global recognitio­n throws light on our unstinted efforts in transformi­ng LB Finance into one of the best managed companies in Sri Lanka", says Sumith Adhihetty, Managing Director of LB Finance.

Top winners were picked after an exhaustive selection process with judges including both internatio­nal and local experts. Integrated reporting not only enhances the reputation of an organizati­on through transparen­t and concise reporting of indepth strategy but lends itself as an invaluable tool to both financial managers and investors.

LB Finance has an illustriou­s tradition of financial stewardshi­p spanning 45 years with the company reaching lofty highs on the back of strong public confidence.
