Five awards for ComBank

The Commercial Bank of Ceylon was awarded the Edmund J. Cooray Memorial Trophy for the Best Annual Report among banking institutions, the Gold award for Management Commentary, the Silver award for Corporate Governance Disclosure, the Bronze award for the Best Annual Report overall across all sectors and the Bronze for CSR Reporting at the 2015 Annual Report Awards of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka).

With these five awards, Commercial Bank became the most-awarded Bank of the night, reaffirming the Bank's commitment to transparency and good governance. Since 2001, Commercial Bank's Annual Report has been adjudged the overall best in Sri Lanka nine times and with this year's awards the Bank has won the award for the best Annual Report for the twelfth occasion.

Commercial Bank's Managing Director and CEO Jegan Durairatnam said, "The Annual Report is easily the most important document that any public listed company produces, but its significance is particularly high in the financial services sector, where accurate and comprehensive disclosures are vital."
