Nasser Abdulaziz Kashwani, the Secretary General of the Award, emphasized the significance of the new version of the Distinguished Financial Performance Award, which was launched in early March. The nominations for this prestigious award are set to close at the end of September. The primary objective of this award is to elevate the financial system in the Sharjah Government by endorsing and amplifying high-quality financial practices and initiatives with exceptional performance in government, independent, and princely agencies in the emirate. It also serves as a platform to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of individuals working in the government financial sector.
Kashwani proudly shared the success story of the Distinguished Financial Performance Award since its inception in 2017. Over the course of its previous five sessions, the award has played a pivotal role in bolstering the operational and practical efficiency of the government's financial sector across various businesses. It has been instrumental in showcasing outstanding institutional and individual models in resource management and the preservation of public funds, thereby contributing to the realization of Sharjah's development visions and comprehensive projects across various sectors.
He provided a comprehensive overview of the recently held introductory workshops for the Distinguished Financial Performance Award. These workshops, conducted in collaboration with several local government agencies in Sharjah, were strategically held at various locations within the city. They formed an integral part of the approved introductory program by the Award’s General Secretariat, with the main aim of engaging with the target audience of government agencies and working individuals. The workshops provided valuable insights into the main and sub-criteria for each award category, thereby facilitating a smooth registration, application, and nomination process.
The award's website is still accepting registrations and nominations. After all submissions have been reviewed, evaluated, and officially approved, the winners will be announced in early November 2024.
