“The work we do is an extremely important one, because it influences all areas of the lives of individuals, families and companies, from the interpretation of financial data, accounting, auditing and budget decisions that are made daily in different scenarios,” she said. “To all, our congratulations for the extraordinary work you do. We celebrate them and invite them to participate in the events we have organized so that they continue to strengthen the profession, as well as their professional development.”
