Recognition framework

Recognition, research and certificate authenticity

GBE Awards brings together three distinct responsibilities: Sri Lankan institutional recognition through DEC, business-faculty research and academic review, and programme administration by the London-based UK organiser. This page explains those roles without blurring the difference between them.

Sri Lanka Institutional recognition
United Kingdom Programme administration

Distinct roles, clearly stated

Recognition is strongest when the organisations involved and the limits of their responsibilities are easy to understand.

Sri Lankan institutional recognition

DEC

The GBE Awards programme is institutionally recognised in Sri Lanka through DEC.

DEC is identified under the Ministry of Industry of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, Gazette No. 2387/25.

DEC's role here is institutional recognition of the awards programme in Sri Lanka; DEC is not presented as the programme's education provider, awarding body, or academic accreditor.

Research and academic review

SITC Campus Business Faculty

Certificate authenticity

A certificate connected to a real award record

GBE Awards certificates are issued through London Business Consultancy and signed by an authorised representative of the UK organiser. The certificate is an award-programme record; it is not a certificate issued by the UK Government.

Authenticity comes from the match between the recipient, award title, category, year, authorised signature, and the organiser's published record.

01

Issued

The certificate records the recipient, award title, category, and award year as maintained by the GBE Awards organiser.

02

Signed

Each certificate is signed by an authorised representative of London Business Consultancy, the UK organiser.

03

Recorded

Published winner records provide a public reference connecting the recipient to the relevant award and year.
