The British Accountancy Awards 2016 shortlist revealed

ACCOUNTANCY AGE is delighted to reveal the British Accountancy Awards 2016 shortlist.

The Awards, which were launched as an evolution of the popular Accountancy Age Awards, celebrate the best of the profession.

More than 20 senior accountancy figures take part in a several-stage process to find the most innovative and best-performing practices and individuals. Details of the judges can be found here. And the task they faced was the toughest since the British Accountancy Awards were formed in 2011, with more entries per category and the highest quality submissions yet.

This year the Awards have evolved to meet the needs of the profession, with Innovation categories added – which have proved very popular. Our Best Employer shortlist was announced earlier this year.

Congratulations to all those who have made our shortlists, and commiserations if you have missed out this year.

If you are interested in attending the awards please contact Alfie Hill-Kitcherside at [email protected] or 0208 080 9424.
