ICPAU; The 2021 Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards.

The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda (ICPAU) has a statutory mandate to regulate and maintain the standard of accountancy in Uganda. The introduction of Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards is one way of encouraging the implementation of financial reporting standards as well as improving the quality of financial and business reporting in Uganda.

ICPAU in partnership with the Uganda Securities Exchange and the Capital Markets
Authority will hold the 2021 Financial Reporting (FiRe) Awards. The 11th Edition of the FiRe Awards will be held under the theme, Integrated Reporting: Building Blocks for Stakeholder Confidence.

The FiRe Awards will provide an opportunity to organisations that will participate, to benchmark their reports against the Institute’s criteria of good financial reports.

Annual reporting is an essential mechanism of accountability and it consolidates the governance process. Good reporting requires good attention to detail and accuracy, sensitivity and responsiveness to stakeholders, a willingness to communicate effectively to stakeholders and a commitment to compliance with the standards.

  • To promote excellence in reporting through the publication of informative and factual reports.
