CFO South Africa sponsored the Reporting Accountant category awards at the gala event.

CFO South Africa was a sponsor of the 19th annual DealMakers Awards, which were held on 19 February in Johannesburg. 

The DealMakers Gala Awards are widely considered as the Oscars of the M&A community. They are intended to celebrate the year’s top deals and M&A professionals, including advisers and accountants who are usually the drivers of deals. 

The consensus among M&A professionals was that 2018 was a tough year in which quality deals were few and far in between. Despite this, M&A professionals believe that the market remains dynamic and exciting but equally challenging.
