Northern Society and ICAEW sponsor National Accountancy Firm of the Year award 10 May 2017

Northern Society of Chartered Accountants (NorSCA) and ICAEW are pleased to announce that we will be sponsoring the National Accountancy Firm of the Year Award at the North East Accountancy Awards 2017.

We have supported the North East Accountancy Awards for the last 11 years and we are delighted to continue to help recognise the success of the business and finance profession in the North East.

Hear what Keith Proudfoot, ICAEW Director, Northern and Scotland has to say about the North East Accountancy Awards in the short video below.

Keith’s work was recognised at the 2015 North East Accountancy Awards when he won the Unsung Hero Award for the ongoing volunteeting support he has provided Tyne Theatre & Opera House Preservation Trust where he is a Trustee and Northern Stage (Theatrical Productions) Limited where he is a board member.

Other supporters, judges and winners from 2015 are also featured in the video.

To enter the National Accountancy Firm of the Year category a firm must have an office in the North East, which has enjoyed an exceptional year and can demonstrate outstanding achievements. The judges will be looking at a number of areas including growth, innovation, client service and CSR.  This award will be judged on the basis of the North East office(s) rather than that of the firm or organisation as a whole. Full details are included on the North East Accountancy Awards website.

The awards dinner will be held on Thursday 29 June 2017 at the Hilton NewcastleGateshead and will be hosted by Nadine Dereza.

Last years 10th annual North East Accountancy Awards were presented at a dinner held on 30 June 2016 and ICAEW Chartered Accountants celebrated the success of fellow north east finance professionals in a glittering evening that was hosted by Steve Cram.

The event, which involved close co-operation from CIMA, AAT, CIPFA, ACCA, CIOT as well as ICAEW was attended by 400 people.
