ACFO-ACAF is excited to announce that applications are now open for the second annual CT Community Awards! Each year, one award in three categories is presented to members of the CT Community who have made outstanding contributions to the profession and to the community at large.

These awards not only recognize the dedication and innovation of ACFO-ACAF members, but also aim to inspire the entire community. They include:

• The CT Innovation Award for a member or team of members at the forefront of innovation in finance or audit;
• The Tessie Genise Volunteer Award for a member who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment to volunteerism within the community; and
• The CT Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of a member’s career of dedication to the CT Community.

Each award winner will be celebrated at the annual Holiday Tune Up Gala event on December 13 (more to come on this), featured in a campaign in 2025, and invited to meet with key public service senior management. Any winners from the regions will have their travel expenses covered to accept their award, so we encourage members from across Canada to apply!
