The awards program invites both self-nominations and peer submissions across seven distinct categories, including government, non-profit, enterprise, and startup sectors. Applicants are required to provide details regarding their 2026 financial performance, professional background, and philanthropic involvement. While an automated screening process initially narrows the field, a panel of industry judges will ultimately select category winners and one national recipient.
Neil Brown, executive director of the Controllers Council, noted that the scope of these roles has evolved significantly, shifting from traditional accounting tasks toward strategic leadership and technological oversight. The organization aims to highlight this transition while promoting industry best practices. Winners will be announced on January 15, 2027, with the national honoree receiving a custom statuette crafted by the manufacturers of the Oscar awards.
