CHAIRMAN's MESSAGE
Dear Students,
I join with the Members of the Managing Committee of SICASA to offer UGADI,
Ramzan, Tamil New Year, Vishu and Mahaveer Jayanthi Greetings to all of you.
I hope all of you would have gone through the last issue of SICASA Newsletter
which contained informative and interesting tax updates, markets scenario,
mutual funds and creativity thoughts of students showing their prowess. We shall
continue to offer you with variety of intuitive and important information and
inputs. Please send your comments and contribution to make the newsletter more
attractive and enlightening with new and unique contents and concepts.
I believe that SICASA newsletter is an integral and important part of
communication with the students. Being so, we propose to carry news about
programmes and matters of importance and interest. I advise the students to go
through the newsletter and add value to your studies.
Our CA profession is known for trust, respect, unwavering commitment and high
quality professional performance across the globe. The younger generation
therefore has a huge responsibility to take forward the rich legacy of our
profession. It is our performance that should add to our creditability. You should
therefore be enthusiastic to learn extensively and make an indelible mark and our
profession proud.
What is “Profession”?. A profession is a vocation
“founded upon specialized educational training,
the purpose of which is to offer objective
counselling and service to others. As a student
pursuing the CA Course you are very fortunate
to have intense apprenticeship combined with
theoretical education that helps you to perform
your best in examinations and become a CA
professional.
Do not forget that “apprenticeship” is the key
that differentiator from other types of
education. If you have a strong combination of
education and practical knowledge which is
acquired through apprenticeship you can excel
and enhance your creditability in the
professional, personal and social life and be
cynosure of eyes. Remember – It is the diligence,
unimpeachable integrity and sincerity combined
with professional qualification which is the
greatest asset to one’s growth that percolates
to the institution to which he/she belongs.
I would therefore exhort all of you to focus your
attention in all earnestness and make your
career a highly-rewarded and recognized one.
You would have noticed that Students’ Skill
Enrichment Board (Operations) has been
merged with Board of Studies (Academic) and
now the committee is called “Board of Studies”.
You will henceforth have announcements in this
name only which please note.
I am happy to share that the Board of Studies
has scheduled 13 Students’ Mega/National/State
Level Conferences during the months of June –
August 2024. The details of the venues are
published in this newsletter elsewhere. I request
you to participate in the programmes and widen
your knowledge as well as network amongst your
students’ fraternity.
I also send my Good Wishes to the students
appearing for the ensuing CA Examination and
wish them the best performance.
With best wishes,
CA. MANDAVA SUNIL KUMAR
Chairman, SICASA
