The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) awarded 30 entities in 15 different sectors for best presented annual reports for 2022 to promote transparency and accountability through financial and non-financial disclosures. 

As the chief guest, Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi handed over the awards to the winners at an event held yesterday at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel, Dhaka. Dr Shamsul Alam, state minister for the planning ministry, was also present as the special guest.

Apart from recognising the first, second and third positions in each sector, the "Certificate of Merits" were conferred on the entities for achieving minimum threshold scores. Among all the winners, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited became the overall winner.

A 13-member jury board chaired by Dr Atiur Rahman, former governor at Bangladesh Bank, reviewed the recommended list of the winners for their best presented annual reports, integrated reporting, and corporate governance disclosures for the year 2022. 

ICAB President Moniruzzaman said that the awards are the outcome of the evaluation of the publicly disclosed audited financials and un-audited other information and therefore do not in any way represent any attestation by the ICAB for the operational performance, financial position, liquidity, capital adequacy or earning status of the evaluated entities. 

The awards should not be construed to reflect upon the future financial health or profitability of the awarded entities and for making any decision for investment, lending or otherwise, he added. 

From the winning companies, the three best annual reports under each sector will be nominated by ICAB to the South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA) BPA competition in December 2023.
