The Financial Review CFO Awards 2013, exclusively sponsored by the Institute, were held on Thursday 31 October in Sydney. We extend our congratulations to all the award winners and nominees, including the strong line up of Chartered Accountants, who have demonstrated outstanding financial leadership in their respective organisations. At the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia, we recognise that financial leadership has never been so important to the wellbeing of an organisation. Financial leaders make things happen by making them possible, which is why we equip future leaders with the in-depth knowledge, best training and analytical thinking to find the smart solutions in any situation.
