CFO SA MD Graham Fehrsen paid a visit to 2018 CFO Award nominee Umar Banda.
“This recognition is fantastic but it’s really about the people around me,” said City of Tshwane CFO Umar Banda, when presented with an award of recognition for his 2018 CFO Awards nomination. The award of recognition is received by all CFO Awards nominees. “The City of Tshwane has come a long way and while we recognise that there is still a lot of work to do, it’s important to acknowledge the dedication of the professionals in Tshwane doing great work.”
Graham Fehrsen, CFO South Africa MD, said in response:
“CFOs recognise the power of their teams and although the CFO Awards produces a group of winners, all the nominees acknowledge the value of having the hard work of their teams recognised.”
