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

The Ennobled Foundation honored Matilda Dede Angmortey, a female accounting graduate, at the 18th graduation ceremony of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA). This award is part of the Foundation's ongoing efforts to inspire more women to pursue careers in accounting, as outlined in their Memorandum of Understanding with the university.

Recognizing the importance of women's achievements in the field, the Foundation's founder, Mrs Gloria Boye-Doku, explained that the annual award celebrates excellence in accounting and aims to challenge gender stereotypes while encouraging more young women to enter the profession. Mrs Boye-Doku, herself a Chartered Accountant and a prominent figure in the accounting world, shared her own journey from studying Home Economics and dressmaking to her successful career, hoping to encourage Matilda to become a role model for other aspiring women in accounting.

The award ceremony included a cash prize for Matilda, along with copies of leadership books penned by Mrs Boye-Doku. Matilda, whose interest in accounting was sparked by her desire to comprehend financial management and promote transparency, encouraged her fellow female students to embrace their ambitions and not let self-doubt hinder their aspirations.

In her gratitude for the recognition, Matilda affirmed her commitment to excellence and making a positive impact on the accounting profession and society. Through this initiative, the Ennobled Foundation continues to invest in young people's education, mentorship, and opportunities for personal and professional development.
