"The journey towards becoming the National Finance Champion 2017 has been an engrossing one. We thoroughly enjoyed the NFO 2017 and honoured to be adjudged as the Champions. We would like to thank ICAP and Unilever for conducting such a well-organised competition and our firm, EY Ford Rhodes, for believing in us and giving us an opportunity to represent EY. We encourage all the finance professionals to take part in future NFOs and don't miss out on what is surely becoming a flagship competition for our profession."
Message from First Runner-Up Media Safety
"It is an honour to have participated in such a challenging event and securing 1st Runner-up in the National Finance Olympiad 2017. The competition was fierce and all the teams performed really well. The ICAP team and the organisers did a brilliant job in putting up such a fantastic show. We got tremendous support from Midas Safety's senior management including the CFO for this competition. We owe our success to the great winning combination of our team. It was our first time and taking away two accolades (Best performer and 1st Runner-up) is just a fantastic feeling."
Message from Second Runner-Up Engro Fertilisers Limited
"If we were to put our experience in three words, we would epitomise it as thrilling, challenging and educating. The competition inculcated the true finance spirit in participants and also did its best in making us evaluate and accentuate our interpersonal skills. The past few days, despite being extremely taxing, were the best at enabling us to discover our true potential and come out as strong individuals rather than just strong performers. Being in the top three was just icing on the cake. ICAP truly organised a magnificent event and we would take this opportunity to wish them all the best for future spectacles."
