ICAI President's Message - January 2013

Dear Friends,

Let me start by wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous New Year. But as we start our celebrations, it is also time for us to reflect and take stock of what we have accomplished in the last one year, what we have missed and what we should take up on priority. Wherever we could not accomplish, it is time to restart and set things right. It is time to set up new goals together for the development of our profession and start with renewed zeal. As we enter 2013, it will be wise not only to list new resolutions but to vow to put in collective efforts to fulfil them. Let me take this opportunity to recall our more than 63-year long glorious journey of accountancy profession towards excellence in ethics, integrity and knowledge. Let’s resolve to become the best in our profession. It is said that stronger the foundation, higher the building. It is likewise true that the accountancy profession in India has been growing in strength since the establishment of our Institute. In the year 2012 also, each and every aspect of our profession, be it education and training, information technology, or, national and international recognition, has been developed and raised to a level much higher than ever before. Now it is our responsibility to take our Institute to greater heights of glory through our united, focused and hard work in the coming years too. New Year gives us an opportunity to act upon. Let us not get disheartened if we could not accomplish what we had planned for in the past. Let us remember: Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors..., therefore, that very experience will become our guiding angel. Let us resolve again and turn our promises into a reality. To read more Click Here.
