A SPECIAL technical committee meeting to finalise the
methodology for assessing the commercial banks for the 2012 Ghana Banking
Awards has begun.
The committee is made up of all the eligible banks, the
executives of Corporate Initiative Ghana (CIG), organisers of the banking
awards, KPMG, Synovate and West Point Consulting which are the event
statisticians.
The members of the committee who will sit for a maximum of
three times will evaluate the methodology for each of the 16 award categories
to suit the developments in the banking system.
Addressing the committee shortly before the meeting, the
Chief Host and Chairman of the Awards Planning Committee, Mr Willing
Vanderpuije, stressed the need for the participants to ensure that they
properly and effectively present their views on making the methodology
acceptable to all.
“This forum is particularly created for all banks to agree
on the methodology to be used in assessing their performance and so we expect
frank contributions to enhance the awards,” he said.
Mr Vanderpuije said the awards had come a long way because
of its transparent nature and noted that “this, we (as organisers) will use
always use as our tramp card to uphold the integrity of the awards which has been
held consistently for the past 10 years”.
He urged banks that have not yet released senior management
persons within their fold to join the committee to do so “so they can also make
an input into the methodology”.
A Consultant to CIG and a member of the newly formed
Technical Board for the awards, Mr Robert Bennin, briefed the committee on the
various aspects that needed to be considered during the deliberations.
