Even annual reports command awards and when it is a bank's then so much more. Living up to its reputation, FNB Namibia again prepared the best annual report by a company outside South Africa.

Advocate Vekuii Rukoro, Group CEO of FNB, said the group received the award for the innovative, creative and excellent communication standards applied in its annual report. The Annual Report Awards pay tribute to companies for excellence in preparing their annual reports. Present at the announcement was (from left) the bank's Chief Executive Officer, Leonard Haynes, Adv. Rukoro and Gideon Cornelissen, the Chief Financial Officer. The Annual Report Awards are hosted jointly by the Southern Africa Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA), and the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE). When announcing their award earlier this week, Rukoro said "[the award] is significant for the FNB Namibia Group of companies because it reconfirmed that the FNB Namibia Holdings family achieved the required objectives to articulate and communicate excellently to all their stakeholders, and by the same token, increasing confidence in the FNB Namibia Group."
