Top Finance student gets his just reward
Latest press releasesA bright Finance student at Warwick Business School is to receive a cheque for £300 from the Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT) for coming top of the class of 360 students for his outstanding work in finance.
The prestigious award, now in its third year, was won by Steven Lim, an undergraduate in the third year of his Accounting and Finance degree. Shaun Smith, a member of the ACT, and Group Finance Director at Aga Food Service Group, presented the cheque to Steven on 1st October, in front of around 400 fellow students attending their first lecture in Principles of Finance.
After a brief talk highlighting the importance of the finance and treasury function in today's marketplace, and the pivotal role of the ACT, Shaun Smith said:
"Steven's coursework was outstanding and he richly deserves this prize."
He told the audience of students that a similar prize would be awarded by the ACT to any student at the end of their course whose work was judged to be of exceptional standard.
Steven, from Malaysia, is hoping to secure a training contract with an accounting firm to pursue professional qualifications with one of the UK accounting bodies. He said:
"I am delighted with this award, as £300 goes a long way for a student."
