New Delhi: Ramsankar Mishra, Senior Manager (Finance) at Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL), a subsidiary of ONGC Ltd., has been honoured with the 8th CMA Achiever Award – 2024 (Outstanding Performance) under the Public Sector – Manufacturing – Mega category by the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI).
The award was presented at a grand ceremony held at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi, on June 23, in the presence of the President of India Droupadi Murmu, who graced the inaugural session as the Chief Guest. The award was conferred by Bhartruhari Mahtab, Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) and Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, along with ICMAI President Bibhuti Bhusan Nayak.
Mishra was selected for this prestigious recognition for his remarkable contributions to the Central/Corporate Accounts of MRPL, particularly for adopting industry best practices to enhance clarity and disclosures in financial statements. His strategic leadership in the planning, coordination, and execution of accounting and disclosure requirements during the acquisition of 100% stake and subsequent amalgamation of ONGC Mangalore Petrochemicals Limited (OMPL) was especially appreciated by the Institute.
Beyond his corporate contributions, Mishra has also been recognised for his voluntary efforts in knowledge dissemination. He has actively engaged with business schools and professional bodies across Karnataka and other parts of India, sharing insights on Advanced Accounting, Financial Management, Strategic Cost Management, Budgeting, and Regulatory Compliance. His efforts have significantly benefitted budding professionals and practising Cost and Management Accountants, particularly in enhancing the value proposition of Cost Audits.
The CMA Achiever Awards, instituted by ICMAI, celebrate excellence in areas such as corporate governance, operational efficiency, financial management, CSR, and cost innovation, while also recognising contributions to the CMA profession and society. The selection process involved a three-stage evaluation: nomination, screening, and final selection by a distinguished jury chaired by Justice (Retd.) S.J. Mukhopadhaya, former Judge of the Supreme Court of India and ex-Chairperson of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT).
Mishra’s achievement marks a moment of pride for MRPL, as he stood out as one of the very few professionals from the Public Sector to receive this national-level recognition in the mega manufacturing category.
