Gore Consulting has announced the promotion of Elton N. Fabila to Partner – Risk & Financial Accounting Advisory.
The company said the promotion marked a significant milestone for Mr Fabila’s professional journey as well as the evolution of Gore Consulting’s leadership and expertise within Papua New Guinea’s advisory sector.
“Elton’s ascent to partnership is a testament to his unwavering commitment, technical excellence, and the spirit of calculated risk-taking that defines true leadership,” the company said in media statement.
“In January 2020, Elton made the courageous decision to leave a secure and promising career at Ernst & Young (EY) PNG, where he served as Senior Auditor, to join Gore Consulting at a pivotal moment in its inception. His decision followed the retirement of James P. Gore from the EY Partnership in August 2019 and establishing Gore Consulting, exemplifying trust and shared vision.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our foundational clients, notably Mineral Resources Development Company Limited (MRDC) under the leadership of Augustine Mano, whose support played a crucial role in facilitating Elton’s transition and the establishment of our firm as a trusted advisor. Their confidence provided the platform for Elton to flourish and contribute meaningfully to our clients’ success stories.
“Under the mentorship of Managing Partner James P. Gore, Elton has distinguished himself as the foremost Financial Modeler in Papua New Guinea and an Enterprise Risk Management expert of national repute. His expertise spans statutory audit, technical accounting, risk advisory, financial modelling, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance.”
Gore Consulting said the promotion represented more than just organizational growth or monetary success.
Managing Partner James P. Gore said: “The true measure of success is found in the development of human capital. It is deeply fulfilling to see talented professional Papua New Guineans such as Elton rise through the ranks—many of my former employees have since progressed to General Manager and Senior Management positions in reputable organisations across PNG and abroad. Elton’s journey reflects our commitment to nurturing talent and creating pathways to leadership within the industry.”
Mr Fabila is a member of CPA PNG, member of the PNG Institute of Directors, and a comprehensive portfolio of advisory and audit experience—underscore his readiness for this role. As Partner – Risk & Financial Accounting Advisory, he will continue to spearhead strategic initiatives, support client transformation, and drive innovation in risk management and financial advisory services.
