Post Bank Uganda’s Finance team has been awarded the Finance Team of the Year at the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda (ICPAU), Awards ceremony.
This follows the critical role it has played in the transformation of the financial institution over the past 4 years.
It includes the delivery of a transformed integrated report for the entity that resulted in several recognitions at the ICPAU Financial Reporting Awards, and their commitment to professionalism through sponsoring team members to pursue the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) course.
The event largely has commended many individuals and entities that are greatly contributing to the accountancy profession in Uganda.
PostBank Chief Finance Officer, CPA Peter Ssenyange says that the win reflects the team’s commitment towards championing the department and overall bank strategy that aligns with the bank’s pillars like teamwork, integrity, innovation and passion.
He adds, “about 4 years ago, I trusted that if we built the Post Bank finance team around a competent leadership team and specific skill sets relevant to the bank's goals infused with a non-compromising performance culture, we will still be ordinary people but with extraordinary results.”
“With the right talent onboard, we have been able to achieve some of the strategies we put place over the years, which have enabled us to serve both our internal and external stakeholders while upholding our commitment to foster prosperity of Ugandans through our service, and I commend the team and the banks leadership for their confidence and unwavering support from time to time,” Ssenyange notes.
Speaking as Chief Guest, the Executive Director of the Uganda Registration Services Bureau, Mercy Kainobwisho, emphasizes the significance of paying attention to community and the environment.
“Building stronger communities requires a sense of purpose, a sense of self-discipline, a sense of respect for humanity, a sense of respect for animals, a sense of respect for water resources, and a sense of respect for land resources,” she says.
Ms. Kainobwisho highlights the need to respect people’s time, a sense of purpose, development of self and the people around us to contribute to a greater good for the nation and the world, as well as social connectedness and involvement in the lives of others.
