Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards 2012:

Audit of applications completed

The Sri Lanka Malaysia Business Council of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce said that the independent audit partner KPMG Ford, Rhodes, Thornton and Co. have completed their audit of the applications.

As Asia Pacific’s most prestigious award for entrepreneurs, it is a regional bench-mark. It honours enterprising men and women in business, who have proven their enterprising spirit, whilst not neglecting the social responsibilities that are associated with business leadership.

Further to the evaluation by KPMG Ford, Rhodes, Thornton and Co., an international panel of judges will select the winners based on a regional company evaluation bench-mark and shortlist on a computer generated marking scheme, which will also include personal interviews at company or factory premises of the applicants, by a Technical Team from Enterprise Asia in Malaysia.

The Sri Lanka Malaysia Business Council of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce is pleased to have received many applications, vying for this prestigious award. Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards 2012 will be held for the first time in Sri Lanka on February 12 at the Hilton Hotel Colombo.
