Independent audit is the best way to demonstrate impartiality of an assessment and, in turn, to increase the trust placed in it by all stakeholders. This is especially critical when the title of ‘best’ among fellow financial experts is at stake — professionals who will soon be honoured at the FINAWARD'26 awards. This year, the organisers have once again entrusted FBK with conducting an independent audit and confirming the objectivity of the competition results.
The winners in 12 categories will be announced on 27May. The award recognises best banking and financial products, services, and technological solutions in Russia.
‘Despite this being a rather atypical type of audit, we approach our role in the award with the utmost responsibility. The nominees were evaluated by over 100 market experts, and our task is to confirm the accuracy of this work impartially and professionally,’ notes Irina Konstantinova, Senior Manager of Audit and Advisory for Financial Institutions at FBK.
Who will receive the well-deserved FINAWARD'26? The winners will be announced very soon.
Banking Review business journal is the founder of the award.
