NSB Annual Report among the world's best

The National Savings Bank of Sri Lanka (NSB) Annual Report for 2008 won a coveted grand award in addition to 3 Gold awards and a Bronze award at the recent International ARC Awards held in New York.

NSB put Sri Lanka on the global corporate map at the gala awards presentation attended by top executives of some of the foremost companies in the world including the Fortune 500s and the FTSE 100s.

The ARC Awards are popularly referred to as the Oscars of Annual Reports. They are the most sought after awards for annual reports. Held for the 23rd year, this year ARC attracted 1,800 entries from around the world.

Only the top 25% of the highest scoring annual reports become eligible for any award.

Gold and Silver Awards are not automatic in every category unless the contenders meet the required standard.

The best of the Gold Awards are nominated for Grand Awards which represent the best-of-the-best from around the world.

NSB's General Manager/CEO, Sunil Perera and Additional General Manager, Hennayake Bandara received the awards on behalf of the Bank. Dr. Vijith Kannangara, Chairman of Smart Media - The Annual Report Company, was also present.

Master of Ceremonies Charles Payne of FOX Business Network was at hand to present the top awards. In his keynote address, Payne pointed out that more than any other time in history, today companies need to make them better understood.

And the annual report remains the prime tool for doing so in a timely, consistent, transparent and credible manner.

ARC Awards has been established to honour outstanding annual reports. The panel of judges consists of distinguished personalities from the communications and financial analyst industries mainly from North America, Continental Europe and UK.Commenting on the award, NSB's Additional General Manager, Hennayake Bandara said that 'it is not possible to develop an annual report to such a high international standard in a single year.

We have been working on improving the overall standard of the annual report over the years.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka's competition for the Best Annual Report was our starting point and gave our report a very good foundation. After winning in this local competition, our report became the first report of a public sector organization in South Asia to win a "Best Annual Report Award" in the category of public sector, in the regional competition organized by South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA).

But, with the most recent turn of events, the i - Phone 5
has made a landmark in the smartphone industry. Both support tethering and have a GPS transceiver with
A-GPS. Leaving the Wi-Fi option turned on will very quickly
drain the battery on the Galaxy S.

I told them to type in "Mac - Book Air broken hinge" on Google for proof of the
widespread issue, but they just shrugged it off. The Mac - Book Air is usually a light,
aluminum model and features been called the world's thinnest notebook. Compared to the Mac - Book Professional especially, it has the slow processor.

Is it an advantage or disadvantage to save everything on the web.

The result is a battery life expectancy of around 8.
Properly, it has every little thing to try and do with on the web storage.

It's a very interesting concept where you have to balance objects perfectly on the field which are provided to you. With so many additional and better features in the canon 5d mark iii camera, it is not surprise that it is available at a much higher price than the 5DMark III camera. While recording, you can also change the audio levels by using the touch wheel, so if the audio is riding a little too high, you can change on the fly.

The question is - which platform provides the best viewing
experience. You can get an excellent picture on
your HDTV if you use a cheap progressive-scan DVD player with HD upconversion.
This is useful if your TV is connected to an audio system, as you can browse your i - Pod library and select
songs wirelessly from the handheld device.

Everything seems to have a slightly bluish tinge to it,
most noticeable when you're looking at light grey areas. Though fascination with this laptop has not died, but some gaping negatives have been highlighted. Many years in the past the user had to write their programming code manually, using some cryptic codes.

So it really is greater to decide a 5-8 mega pixel cam and pay
out far more consideration to the Nikon digital camera batteries in its place.
Of course, choosing a camera body doesn't lock you into only using lenses by that manufacturer, as there are several good third-party lens makers producing quality lenses for both Canon and Nikon cameras. It is owner by Matt Furer who has been fixing cameras for 22 years.

Another new aspect is on the front, right above the display on
the upper right corner. Most of the Android smart phones
come with their own customized ring tones which can be set
as ring tones and other tones but now in this article lets
learn about something with which you can set the customized
Alarm Ring tones to android devices very easily.
However, it does not really have to be that way anymore.

S Voice has been advertised to do certain things Siri couldn't, like launch a camera app or a voice recording app, however I don't think I was able
to get much out of S Voice. If you are looking for the
more practical smartphone, then you'll like to read the following Samsung Galaxy Beam overview. Speedy shutter response times and also rush shot modes even help produce pro-quality pictures.
