Brac receives SAFA award for annual report

Brac has won the “South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA) Award 2018” for its best presented annual report in the non-governmental organisation (NGO) category, said a statement yesterday. 

Tushar Bhowmik, director of Brac's finance department, received the award at a ceremony in Pune, India on Tuesday.

SAFA, an apex body of Saarc, selected the organisation for the award based on an assessment of its transparency, accountability and good governance.  

Last year, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) awarded Brac for its annual report. ICAB then sent the report to compete with the annual reports of NGOs and NOPs from other Saarc countries.
