The ceremony further highlighted the performance of Suzzy Debrah Osei and Andrew Kwabena Panor Asare, both of whom were recognized as Overall Best Students at Level 1 for the March 2026 sitting. Individual subject excellence was also celebrated, with awards presented to Ruth Awinebotima Apobisah, Betty Sakyi, Daniel Ankomah, and Jephthah Amponsah-Boadu. These honors reflect the rigorous academic standards and the competitive nature of the professional accounting examinations administered by the Institute.
