PostBank Uganda, committed to fostering prosperity among Ugandans, secured a prestigious accolade at the 2024 Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda (ICPAU) Awards. The bank’s finance team was recognized as the “Finance Team of the Year” for their exceptional contributions to financial reporting and professionalism.
The award ceremony took place at the 29th ICPAU Annual Seminar held at the Imperial Resort Beach Hotel in Entebbe. The event focused on Environmental Social Governance (ESG) under the theme “Driving Sustainability and Trust,” bringing together finance professionals to explore the role of sustainable business practices.
The Registrar General and Executive Director of the Uganda Registration Services Bureau, Mercy Kainobwisho, who served as the Chief Guest at the awards ceremony stressed the significance of paying attention to the community and the environment.
She said, “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.”
Ms Kainobwisho encouraged respect for 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.
PostBank Uganda’s Finance team received the Finance Team of the Year Award. The team was recognised for playing a critical role in the transformation of PostBank over the past 4 years, delivering 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.
Commenting on the team’s victory, PostBank Chief Finance Officer, CPA Peter Ssenyange revealed 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 mentioned that “About 4 years ago, I trusted that if we built the PostBank finance team around a competent leadership team and specific skillsets 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 in place over the years, which have enabled us to serve both our internal and external stakeholders while upholding our commitment to foster the prosperity of Ugandans through our service, and I commend the team and the bank’s leadership for their confidence and restless support from time to time,” Ssenyange concluded.
