2010 GFP Awards
Recognition for your Achievements
Now in their fourth year, the GFP Awards recognise and value all the good work carried out by finance professionals in government. In partnership with our 2010 sponsors we are again delighted to celebrate your hard work and achievements.
The 2010 GFP Award sponsors are: AAT, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, Deloitte,
ICAEW, J.P. Morgan, Kids TaskForce, PQ Magazine and Visa.
Nomination Process
We are seeking nominations for 13 categories this year including our new one - Finance Director of the Year.
Nominating really couldn't be easier. All we need is 250 words on our nomination form (click here to download the form) stating why you, a work colleague or team should be short listed for one of our awards. If you like, you may also submit any supporting material or endorsements from senior management to add a bit of weight to your nomination. To increase your chances of winning we suggest that you might consider submitting a nomination for more than one award category as some are quite heavily subscribed.
Summer comes and goes and before you know it you will have missed the deadline. So why not get your entry in early? In fact do it today, without delay.
