Entrants will need to complete each stage successfully in order to move onto the next.
*Those applying in the ‘Driving change in the finance community’ category are exempt from submitting financial statements.
How to enterWhat are the judges looking for?
Involve the CFO.
This goes a long way to impressing the judges.
Show how your project delivers change and encourages others to adopt similar behaviours.
