The final phase of the CATA Senior Leadership Programme 2022 culminated with an event held at HM Treasury in London on Friday 17 March 2023 to celebrate the work of the delegates and to thank all those who have contributed to the success of the programme.

The event kicked off with speeches and thanks from Duncan Onduru (Executive Director, CATA), Muhammad Nami (CATA President and Executive Chairman of FIRS, Nigeria) and Jon Sherman (Director, HMRC). This was followed by an opportunity for delegates to share reflections of their experience on the programme and how they will take their learning back to their organisations.

The event closed with final remarks from Jim Harra (Permanent Secretary, HMRC) including his personal reflections on leading a tax administration before he presented delegates with their certificates.
