ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) has
recognised Maaz Masood Ansari, Executive Director Financial Advisory,
Deloitte, with its Regional Advocate of the Year Award for Middle East and
South Asia (MESA) region.
The ACCA member
from Pakistan, Maaz, was lauded for his contributions to developing
professional accountancy across Pakistan, particularly in
supporting Deloitte trainees and employees at department level further
develop and become ACCA members themselves.
“ACCA’s
Advocacy Awards are not about career achievement but about the way that ACCA
members give back to their communities, and help ACCA to develop the next
generation of professional accountants. ACCA members in Pakistan are a driving
force at the forefront of the accounting industry. Maaz has set a great example
for all professionals in the country on how they can lead the profession into
the future by dedicating their efforts to developing future-ready talent.” –

Stuart Dunlop,
ACCA’s regional director – MESA said: ‘Maaz Masood Ansari is an active
ACCA member and advocate that has supported ACCA Pakistan immensely with his
personal and professional networks, most notably at Deloitte.
The collaboration between Deloitte Pakistan and ACCA Pakistan has
generated many opportunities for the recruitment of talent and connecting
us with employers and members as well as hosting CPD events, conferences and
more. Congratulations Maaz on your great achievements for ACCA.’
Commenting on
his contributions, ACCA’s regional head of member affairs, Haroon A. Jan, said,
‘Maaz has been
instrumental in collaboration between ACCA and Deloitte on holding the CPEC
conference in Pakistan, which was a big success in creating awareness on the
economic potential of CPEC for Pakistan. Initiatives like these are an example
of working in the public interest, which is core to our membership fabric.’
‘ACCA holds
Pakistan Leadership Conversation annually which brings topical global
developments to the professionals in the country. Once again Maaz played a key
role in the building an exemplary partnership between ACCA and Deloitte, which
was pivotal to achieving the objectives of the event. The impact of Maaz’s
contributions was recognised by all the judges of ACCA’s Regional Advocacy
Awards. The judging panel consisted of senior ACCA members from Middle East,
Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan,’ he further added.
