Ennobled Foundation recognises Best Female Accounting Graduate to encourage more women in the profession

The Ennobled Foundation recently honored Matilda Dede Angmortey as its Best Graduating Female Accounting Student at the 18th Congregation of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA). This award aligns with the Foundation's efforts to promote gender diversity in the accounting profession, as outlined in its Memorandum of Understanding with UPSA.

The award celebrates academic excellence in female accounting students, aiming to inspire more women to join the field. The Foundation's founder, Mrs. Gloria Boye-Doku, emphasized the significance of recognizing women in accounting, a profession that is evolving to encompass areas like data analytics, sustainability reporting, and business advisory.

Mrs. Boye-Doku's personal journey from studying Home Economics and dressmaking to becoming a Chartered Accountant and Chairperson of ACCA Ghana was a source of inspiration, encouraging young women to pursue accounting without being constrained by their backgrounds. As part of the award, Matilda received a cash prize and leadership books authored by Mrs. Boye-Doku.

Matilda's passion for accounting stems from a desire to comprehend business financial management and promote transparency and accountability. She urged fellow female students to have confidence in their abilities, stay focused, and not let self-doubt hinder their ambitions. Matilda expressed her gratitude for the recognition, which has bolstered her commitment to excel and contribute positively to the accounting profession and society.

The Ennobled Foundation's initiative continues to support young people through education, mentorship, and opportunities for personal and professional development.
