Under the theme “Diamond Chapter: The Grand Honour of Excellence”, this year’s competition reflects six decades of unwavering commitment in exemplifying Transparency, Accountability, Governance, and Sustainability (TAGS) in corporate reporting among Sri Lankan organisations, including multinationals, conglomerates, and SMEs, for their continued efforts to uphold the highest standards in both financial and non-financial reporting.

Addressing the press conference in Colombo on 14 July, CA Sri Lanka President Heshana Kuruppu formally announced that applications for the TAGS Awards 2025 will open on 15 July 2025 and close on 15 August. Organisations can submit their applications either online or via paper-based forms. Further details and access to the application portal are available at: https://tags.casrilanka. com.
