NCBA Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Uganda’s Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Awards, underlining the bank’s dedication to promoting visionary financial leadership and fostering sustainable growth and innovation in the corporate sector.
Speaking at the 2025 ACCA–Deloitte CFO Awards in Kampala, Mark Muyobo, Chief Executive Officer of NCBA Bank Uganda, applauded the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Uganda and Deloitte for their long-standing partnership in organizing the prestigious event, which has recognized excellence in financial management and leadership since 2017.
“These awards champion the critical role of finance professionals by recognizing those who drive strategic decision-making, financial stewardship, and sustainable growth within their organizations,” Muyobo said.
“NCBA is proud to stand alongside the men and women shaping Uganda’s financial future.”
Held under the theme “CFO Vision: Creating Impact and Legacy,” this year’s edition highlighted how CFOs are evolving from traditional financial managers into strategic leaders driving innovation, resilience, and long-term value creation.
Muyobo emphasized that the role of the CFO has transformed.
“For too long, the CFO was seen merely as the keeper of the ledger. Today, that role has fundamentally shifted. The modern CFO is the CEO’s co-pilot, a driver of digital transformation, and the conscience of sustainable long-term strategy,” he said.
He encouraged finance leaders to redefine success beyond profit margins, focusing on job creation, operational efficiency, and innovation that sustains businesses for generations.
“Your impact is measured not only by profit margins but by the jobs you create, the efficiency you instill, and the market share you defend,” Muyobo added.
Highlighting NCBA’s alignment with this changing finance landscape, Muyobo reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to supporting corporate leaders with regional reach and future-ready solutions that drive strategic growth and sustainability.
“At NCBA, we understand that for organizations to deliver on their strategic mandate, they need a banking partner with regional reach and innovative solutions. Whatever your aspiration, NCBA is that bank that will help you to Go For It,” he said.
NCBA’s flagship solutions include Asset Financing, which provides up to 100% financing for machinery, equipment, and commercial vehicles using the asset itself as collateral.
The bank also offers Working Capital and Trade Finance, supporting importers, manufacturers, and service providers to remain competitive in domestic and regional markets.
Through Treasury and Cash Management Solutions, NCBA equips finance teams with tools for efficient liquidity management, real-time cash visibility, and enhanced financial control.
The bank is also promoting Sustainable Finance and Green Lending, backing investments in renewable energy, climate-resilient ventures, and environmentally responsible enterprises.
Beyond traditional banking, NCBA provides Relationship Management and Advisory Services, offering CFOs market intelligence, strategic insights, and expert guidance to create long-term organizational value.
In closing, Muyobo emphasized the importance of purpose-driven leadership that balances profitability with social and environmental responsibility.
“True success is found at the intersection of profitability and sustainability. At NCBA, we are committed to ensuring that the financial legacy we help you build thrives within a healthy and inclusive economy,” he said.
