The 12th edition of the Citizen Company Certificate of the Regional Accounting Council (CRC-RJ) was held last Wednesday (11/10), at the Brazilian College auditorium for Advanced Studies of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (CBAE - UFRJ). At the time, Fiotec received, for the third consecutive year, the certificate acknowledging, based on the data included in reports and trial balance sheets, the institution’s compliance with the basic requirements and fits into the condition of social and environmental company.
In addition to the institution, which was represented by the technical adviser Emilia Wien, the supervisor of the Financial and Accounting Management, Carlos Alberto Mesquita, received the diploma for accounting merit, which is given to the accountants of the institutions awarded.
“This award demonstrates that Fiotec has been committed, over the years, to an ethical concern and contributing to the quality of life of its employees, the local community and society as a whole”, Emilia said.
12 years of history
The award ceremony was different this year. To celebrate the 12th edition of the event, a history of the award was presented. The idea was to show the event's growth, its dimension and importance to the CRC, the accountants and the participating organizations. Furthermore, the companies that won more certificates were presented.
Another difference was the lecture “Provision of Social Accounts: the capital and the social issues”, by Araceli Cristina de Souza Ferreira, full professor and dean of Management and Governance of UFRJ.
Citizen Company
Created by the Regional Accounting Council of the State of Rio de Janeiro (CRCRJ) in 2002, the award is designed to encourage the raising of the quality of the financial, social and environmental information published in the annual reports of organizations of all sizes, sectors and regions of Brazil.
The information is analyzed by a team studying for a Master's Degree of the Department of Business Administration and Accounting of UFRJ, in charge of assessing issues such as investment values in human resources (incentive plan and career, stimulating the education of employees, encouraging participation of employees in volunteer programs); technology, research and development; investment of company funds; among others.
