Delia as non-executive chairman of APS Bank after Delia's 18 years of service at the helm. The appointment was approved at the bank's annual general meeting, during which Joseph C. Caruana also retired as Director. A Fellow of the Institute of Char- tered Accountants (England & Wales), Mifsud Bonnici's career spans over 42 years, mostly as a Partner with Pricewaterhouse- Coopers from where he retired in 2011 as Assurance Leader. He has served as non-executive Chairman of Bank of Valletta PLC, Mapfre MSV Life and more re- cently as a non-executive director and Chair of the Audit Committee of Medbank Group Limited and its subsidiary Mediterranean Bank PLC. He was also Chairman of the Mal- ta Stock Exchange and President of the Malta Institute of Accountants, on which Council he sat for over 32 years, and has held board positions at Malita Investments PLC and Mal- ta Freeport Corporation Limited. Mifsud Bonnici is also a member of the S.M.O.M. The AGM paid tribute to Delia's unstinted dedication and commit- ment and the fact that his vision had guided the Bank's strategy and served as a solid platform for its fu- ture growth. The important contri- bution of Caruana, a seasoned and experienced banker of many years' standing, was also acknowledged. The meeting also approved the ap- pointment of Deloitte Audit Malta as the Bank's new auditors. Appreci- ation was expressed to outgoing au- ditors EY Malta, for their long years of diligent service to the sharehold- ers of the Bank. Frederick Mifsud Bonnici (left) with Emmanuel P.
