Chloe from Banduff, Co Cork was the top performing student in Ireland in the CPA Ireland examinations for 2022 and was awarded the Liam Donnelly Medal in recognition of her achievement.
This award is made in recognition of the first Chief Executive of CPA Ireland, Liam Donnelly.
Liam joined CPA Ireland in the 1970s and throughout his career, he held a special place in his heart for CPA Ireland students. He was first to advocate for a modular approach to examinations allowing CPA Ireland students to combine work, study and life.
We congratulate Chloe on her amazing achievement.
