CityU's 2000D2001 Annual Report and Financial Report won a Bronze prize in the Non-profit Making and Charitable Organization category in the 2002 Best Annual Reports Awards organized by the Hong Kong Management Association (HKMA). At a ceremony on 16 December, Professor Y S Wong, Vice-President (Administration), received a trophy on behalf of the University from the organizer.

The Reports, titled "Connecting the World Through Knowledge", were commended for their "well-presented financial statements and comprehensive description of the activities of the organization". The Gold and Silver Prizes in the same category, out of 34 contestants, went to the Securities and Futures Commission, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, respectively.

In July, the Reports also won a Silver Award for financial data and an Honours Award in the non-profit making organization section at the 16th Annual International ARC Awards in New York .

Since 1992, CityU's annual reports have consistently achieved good results: five HKMA awards, two Hong Kong Print Awards and 12 ARC Awards.
