What’s the criteria for the awards BT?
All organisations: public and private are eligible to enter. State owned bodies, charities and other organisations that publish Annual Reports and financial statements are entitled to and encouraged to enter the Awards.

I understand the idea behind how you enter a competition but what were they judged on or what did they do to be deemed good enough to win a prize?
Their Anuual Reports were marked by independent markers pal. The ones with the best marks won the awards.

Which one did ESB win mate? I’m hoping it’s the one I’m thinking of.

Sounds like the awards handed out in primary school for the child who had the least amount of red pen marks on their corrected homework
I read the title on Tinnons picture and thought I must be misinterpreting it. Turns out I wasn’t.

Obviously they don’t take into account the actual reality of the accounts, only good design work or something.

Bang on, mate. Same as how the GAA give awards for best county final programme and yearbook. It doesn’t necessarily mean the counties who scoop these awards possess the most complete and accurate hurlers and footballers.
So really it’s whatever printers/designers the accounts were sent off to should get the awards rather than some no mark accountants?
Not necessarily either. The designers are also relying on source information like witty pen pictures or a rollicking good directors’ report.
Liam Dunne will be in demand to ghost write a few of next years Directors Reports.
