Malindu Ranasinghe, Director/CEO of Oxford College of Business remarked, “I am thrilled to announce that we have been honoured with the Bronze award in the SME category at the 9th Asia Integrated Reporting Awards (AIRA). I wish to give all glory and honour to Christ alone for this great achievement. This achievement underscores our unwavering dedication to excellence and our commitment to transparency in reporting. It is a testament to the meticulous inclusion of decision-useful information on governance, strategy performance, and our future outlook in our reports. We are proud to be recognized for our efforts in integrated reporting and remain steadfast in our pursuit of excellence.

Rajesh Chhabara, AIRA’s founder and Managing Director of CSWorks, commended OCB's achievements, stating, “Their report sets a benchmark in integrated reporting, exemplifying leadership through the adoption of integrated thinking and a multi-capital framework.”

Integrated reporting is critical in offering a cohesive overview of an organisation's governance, strategy, performance, and prospects, enabling capital providers to make informed capital allocation. This practice is increasingly pivotal in today's business landscape, promoting sustainability and enabling companies to demonstrate their value creation journey over short, medium, and long-term horizons.

The AIRA awards are dedicated to honouring reports that embody transparency, integrated thinking and value creation. Winning reports are selected through a multi-layerd evaluation process by an independent panel, ensuring that recognitions are awarded to reports that demonstrate exemplary commitment to integrated reporting excellence. Leading companies from 14 countries submitted their entries for the 2023 ASRA. The full list of winners may be viewed: AIRA
