Nominee criteria
Criteria
Individuals nominated for an award will be judged on how their actions have made a significant contribution to the profession against any one, or a combination of, the following criteria:
- developing the global accounting and finance profession
- developing the profession within their country or business community
- demonstrating extraordinary leadership through a lifetime of achievement in accounting and finance
- developing ACCA nationally, regionally or globally.
Eligibility for an award
ACCA recognises that it is not just qualified accounting and finance professionals who have a part to play in developing the profession. Therefore nominees can be ACCA members or non-members from any business, local or national government, NGO or educational institution. It is the individual’s contribution to developing the profession that is important. For example, nominees may be:
- an education provider who has worked to remove the barriers to education by providing access to quality accounting and finance tuition programmes
- a government or NGO representative who has been active in developing the profession in their country
- an ACCA member who has championed the cause of integrity, accountability and professional ethics in the accounting and finance community
- a member of another professional body who has been active in building the profession in their country, region or internationally.
