The Judging Panel 2020
Annual reports are reviewed by a specially-convened panel of external, independent judges.
Consisting of several members, the judging panel brings together experts who use annual reports and financial communications regularly to, among other things, assess entities for financial or other reasons. Together, they bring to the table a wide range of technical and industry knowledge, a great variety of experiences and diverse backgrounds and age groups.
At PwC Mauritius, gender diversity is a key component. We're happy to have had three women on our judging panel this year. We hope this number will grow together as the number of women in leadership positions keep growing in Mauritius.
