Accounting firm SizweNtsalubaGobodo (SNG) has once again thrown its weight behind the CFO Awards by once again sponsoring the award for Compliance and Governance, which was won by ABI Finance Director Walter Leonhardt in 2016. The annual 'Oscars for South African CFOs', to be held on 11 May, recognises CFOs of listed companies, large corporations, state-owned entities and government institutions and awards them for outstanding performance and leadership.

As SNG, we are proud of our association with awards because we believe in celebrating success and achievement and in recognising potential that lies within everyone. It is a brilliant opportunity to meet and interact with counterparts from different organisations and industries. It is also an opportunity to make professional and personal friends."
