The AGM held through a zoom meeting witnessed the presentation of the executive\u2019s annual report, financial statements, and the audit committee\u2019s report for 2021.<\/p>\n<p>It also presented an opportunity for the members to scrutinise and consider both the annual work plan and this year\u2019s budget prepared by the executive committee. The executive report and the financial statement were adopted by the members after the auditors have okayed it.<\/p>\n<p>The president of the association, Ebrima Sawaneh said the idea of forming it was to enable finance professionals in the Gambia and beyond to network, learn and share knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been doing this by organising training, webinars, and seminars for our members and even non-members. We believe that in the Gambia, there are very few women in finance especially at the leadership level. So, my executive\u2019s number one priority is to build a foundation that would enable young Gambian youth, especially women, to through our mentorship programs build a career in finance,\u201d Sawaneh said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the association has set up a committee that focuses on how to increase the number of women in the finance profession. \u201cWe want to do this by going to learning institutions to inspire people, especially women in finance and economics about the profession and its prospects. We will also try to reach out to the government through the ministries of education and youths, and the Association of Chartered Accountants to trumpet support for the finance profession,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson of the association, Salifu Bah, said the membership of FLF is open to all interested in finance and leadership. \u201cOur mission is to support the development of finance professionals in reaching their potentials. We have finance directors, auditors, accountants, CEOs etc both in and outside The Gambia and we network with like-minded professionals to seek for learning opportunities and ability to support others through knowledge transfer,\u201d he said. Mr Touray also encouraged finance professionals to join the association.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
