(Finance) – “Creating an all-female synergistic network that, through meetings, exchanges of views and sharing, offers a concrete contribution to the growth of the category in such a complex moment both from an economic and social point of view. The next few years will be strategic for the category and the country and I am convinced that the movement of professional women will have a significant impact on the contexts of interest “. This is what you said Marcella Caradonna, president of the Order of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts of Milan, speaking to the first meeting of the newly elected Italian accountants, presidents, advisers and members of the Equal Opportunities committees of accountants and accounting experts, which took place in the “Luciano Savino” conference room of the CNPR in Rome.
“Today we are embarking on a more structured path that must also lead to a greater enhancement of the female component in our category. Thanks to a legal obligation in the governance of odcecs – he added Caradonna – there are many more women than in the past, but this is not enough: out of over 130 territorial orders, only 20 women were elected president. Too few a number. In the previous council we created a sharing chat reserved exclusively for women present in the councils. The idea initially made colleagues smile – underlined the number one of the Milanese accountants -, but subsequently it proved to be an important resource for all of us, not only on issues of gender equality, but on all the problems that are experienced on territories and was an important aid as well as the starting point for the birth of synergies and friendships “.
“The presence also of the newly elected members of the CPO at the meeting – he highlighted Debora Cozza, newly elected to the Equal Opportunities Committee of the Order of Ascoli Piceno – was a clear testimony of everyone’s willingness to act online to optimize resources and results. Women can make an important contribution because they are increasingly playing an institutional role “.
Luigi Pagliuca, president of the pension fund for accountants and accounting experts, he underlined how “talking about men and women again in 2022 is anachronistic. In recent years, the CNPR has bridged a real gap through an amendment to its electoral regulations. In the next mandate we expect much more participation of colleagues within our organs “.
The meeting also recorded the speeches of presidential candidates at Cndcec, Elbano de Nuccio and Vincenzo Moretta. The two candidates highlighted that their respective programs envisage a specific commitment on equal opportunities issues.
“The role of women is strategic – she argued de Nuccio -, gender diversity is a wealth on a social and professional level The involvement of women within the category will be wide and widespread, both in terms of participation in the various work commissions, and of involvement in the strategic steps that will be the National Council will intend to implement “.
For Moretta“Italy has lagged behind on gender quotas, but today there is greater awareness and maturity. Our profession can be a reference for a more equitable country that truly promotes the rights of all”.
