Mission Australia recognised at PriceWaterhouseCoopers Transparency Awards

Mission Australia was recognised on Thursday 6 May at the annual PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Transparency Awards, receiving the runner-up award for the most transparent 2008-09 Annual Report in the not-for-profit sector.

The awards recognise the quality and transparency of reporting among Australian charities, and encourage not-for-profits to be more professional in their reporting.

Tim Morris-Smith, Chief Financial Officer, accepted the award on behalf of Mission Australia stating: “Mission Australia has at its heart a passion to transform the lives of disadvantaged Australians and to see a fairer Australia.

"It is a diverse and complex organisation – and we benefit immensely from the feedback given through the transparency awards process because it enables us to paint a clearer picture for our stakeholders and for our donors.”

Tim was joined on-stage by the other report contributors to collect the award and a $10,000 cheque for investment in staff training and professional development.  Credit goes to the Mandy Jones, Kathryn Ossipoff and Oliver Halley from Mission Australia's Marketing and Corporate Affairs team for their work on the report.

This is the second time that Mission Australia has been recognised for high quality, transparent reporting in the PwC Transparency Awards' three-year history .
