“We have reliable professionals who uphold the highest ethical standards, are competent and skilful in the discharge of their respective duties, which they do with utmost integrity, among other admirable attributes.  

Through them, the Bank is further assured of proper governance, risk management, sound systems among several skills, which enhances the quality and objectivity of its financial reporting and performance,” said Kasunda.

Board member for IIAM Rebecca Mtekateka thanked NBM plc for the donation saying it will go a long way in making this year’s lake conference a success.

“We will be having our conference from 22 to 25 August 2019 with the theme ‘Good Governance: Key to economic transformation and the donation we have received today from National Bank will help us to have a wonderful conference,” said Mtekateka.

IOBM Chief Executive Officer Lyness Nkungula also thanked NBM plc for the donation.

We want to promise you that the sponsorship will be put to the intended use so that the conference accomplishes its intention, that is to advance the agenda of financial inclusion,” said Nkungula.
