JSE-listed ICT provider GijimaAst has been named as a runner-up for the month of July/August in the Sake24 Financial Reporting Competition.
The competition, which is open to all companies who publish their financial results in the financial press, recognises achievements in the financial advertising industry and encourages the creative execution of essential business communications.
“The competition recognises agencies and clients who have taken added measures in terms of reporting their results,” says Thoko Mnyango, Managing Executive: Marketing, Communications and Transformation at GijimaAst. “It also rewards companies who pride themselves on corporate governance, transparency of dealings and open communication with shareholders and stakeholders and this is where we feel GijimaAst has shone.”
There are two categories in the competition. The first category judges companies according to the content of their financial results and the second sees companies judged according to the creative layout and design of their results.
GijimaAst was named runner-up in the first category and Mnyango sees this as a definite step in the right direction as it signifies recognition from their peers in the financial markets.
The competition is judged by independent judges from the University of Tshwane with the overall winner and runner-up in each category announced each month. The monthly winners then become finalists, all of whom battle it out at an annual event. The top three performers are announced during the prize-giving event, which is held each November.
