Medical Investments Limited’s chief financial officer, Duduzile Shinya has been elected the new president of the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Zimbabwe (ICAZ) for the term 2020/21.
Shinya was elected at ICAZ’s Friday virtual annual general meeting (AGM) becoming the third female president in ICAZ’s 102 years history.
Her predecessors are Econet Wireless Zimbabwe finance director Emelia Chisango (2009), and Gloria Zvaravanhu (2016/17) the current ICAZ chief executive officer.
In her acceptance speech, she underscored the importance of achieving ICAZ’s envisaged visions. She said:
The possibilities need to lead us to: technological advancement, re-engagement, our increased input to improve social profits, innovation, digital collaboration, and creativity. It is critical for me in my (presidential) year that I deliver on these visions as they fall directly into the ICAZ five-year strategy under Strategic objective 4, which focuses on enhancing delivery, process efficiency and digital capabilities.
Shinya who has served the profession for more than 20 years takes over from Fungai Kuipa, a partner at EY who stepped down after completing his tenure.
