The prestigious Awards for Excellence were presented by Local Government Online CEO Cassandra Crowley, who gave an engaging address about the variety of interesting opportunities that a qualification in Accounting, Commercial Law or Taxation offers.
Professor Ian Eggleton, Head of the School of Accounting and Commercial Law, said that the Excellence Awards ceremony was one of the highlights of the year and provided a wonderful opportunity for students, their families, prospective employers and Faculty to mingle and network together in an informal gathering.
