Anne Godbold was awarded Second Prize for her paper “Ethical
Innovation in Finance,” and Christian Buckson was jointly awarded
Third Prize for his paper “Can Complex Firms be Ethical?”
“As the industry continues to address its challenges, real and
perceived, ethics is increasingly recognized as a critical part of
the solution,” said Steve Culp, senior global managing director
leading Accenture Consulting for Financial Services and Accenture
Finance and Risk Services. “I am extremely proud of the
accomplishments of our two consulting professionals, the caliber of
their innovative thinking around this topic and the value they
bring to our clients. They are fine examples of the quality of the
consultants who work for Accenture.”
Accenture consultant Rafael Gomes was recognized during the
fourth Ethics in Finance – Robin Cosgrove Prize in 2013.
The Ethics in Finance – Robin Cosgrove Prize is a global prize
awarded to individuals 35 years of age or younger for their ideas
for promoting the benefits of ethics in finance and encouraging
high-quality management in banking, insurance and financial
services. The prize was set up by Carol Cosgrove-Sacks, along with
the Observatoire de la Finance in Switzerland, in honor of her son
Robin Cosgrove, a young investment banker who tragically died in an
accident on Mont Blanc in 2004 at the age of 31.
About the Robin Cosgrove Prize
The Ethics in Finance – Robin Cosgrove Prize promotes greater
awareness among young people throughout the world concerning the
benefits of ethics in finance and encourages high-quality
management of banking, insurance and financial services based on
trust and integrity. Launched in 2006 and now in its 5th Edition,
the global competition for the Prize for Innovative Ideas for
Ethics in Finance is open to young people, aged 35 years or
younger, from throughout the world. The goal is to promote the
vision of Robin Cosgrove, an investment banker working in London
who died tragically young, aged 31, who believed there was an
ethical deficit in the finance sector which would ultimately
destroy peoples’ trust. The competition invites creative papers,
which may be submitted in English or French, setting out analyses
or proposals for innovative ways to promote ethics in finance. All
submissions are reviewed through a robust and anonymous evaluation
process, in which the authors’ identities are not known to the jury
until the nominations of the winners are announced.
