Ceylon Chamber of Commerce wins SAFA award again

The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce created history again by being the only Chamber of Commerce to win a much coveted award for best presented accounts at the South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA) Awards held in New Delhi recently.

The Chamber's 2007 Annual Report won the Bronze Award in the Not-for-Profit category at this ceremony, considered a benchmark among companies in the South Asian Region.

SAFA is the apex body of the accountancy profession in the SAARC region and has actively promoted the bringing together of the accounting bodies in the region to facilitate co-operation in areas of education, training, technical and ethical standards.

The Chamber's winning streak continued when the Chamber bagged the gold award in the Not-for-Profit category, for the second consecutive year, at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (ICASL) Annual Report Awards at the Cinnamon Grand.

Among the Chamber's recent achievements in its 169 history include being the only Chamber of Commerce to gain Business Superbrand status.
