The Institute of Chartered Accountants Ghana (ICAG) has honoured COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, former President of the Association of Women Accountants, Ghana (AWAG), for her outstanding contribution to the advancement of female accountants in the country.
COP Addo-Danquah, who also served as Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and currently leads the Police Ladies Association (POLAS), was recognised for her unwavering commitment to inspiring, uplifting, and investing in the future of women in the accounting profession.
She has long been celebrated for sponsoring the Overall Best Female Candidate awards at Level 1 and Level 2 of ICAG’s Graduation and Admission Ceremonies, held twice yearly.
“Her continued commitment has not only elevated individual achievers but has also encouraged more women to aim for excellence in the accounting profession,” ICAG leaders noted at the 45th Graduation & Admission Ceremony, describing her as the embodiment of an “Empowered Woman, Empowering the Profession.”
COP Addo-Danquah, a former Council Member of ICAG, received the honour alongside this year’s awardees — Adwoa Nyamekye Agyei (Level 1) and Keziah Lartiorkor Lartey (Level 2) — whose exceptional performances highlight the promise of women in the field.
The awards were presented by ICAG Vice President, Rev. Dr. Cynthia Sallah, and current AWAG President, Akua Bonsu, supported by fellow AWAG executives. The moment was described as one of legacy, continuity, and shared celebration.
Both ICAG and AWAG expressed deep appreciation to COP Addo-Danquah for her visionary support and steadfast commitment to empowering women through education and recognition.
