About Us
Abu Dhabi Chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India came into being in October 1984 under the chairmanship of Mr.Richard D'Souza. It was inaugurated by the then President of the Institute, Mr.A.C.Chakravarthy.
The Chapter was formed with the idea of having a common forum where the members could meet, exchange views and interact professionally with the other members. Also, this provided an ideal opportunity to the members and their families to participate in social functions and reach out to each other.The Chapter is committed to the furtherance of the technical competency and knowledge of its members. This is achieved by hosting seminars and events that are addressed by eminent speakers and experts.Also, by organizing several social events throughout the year the Chapter aims to strengthen the community ties among the members.
The activities related to professional development reach their pinnacle, every year, with the organization of the annual International Seminar. The seminar was first held in October 1988. Since then it has been a regular feature on the program calendar and is supported by the business community and well attended by the members. The Chapter's activities are organized by an elected body of members. The Governing Committee is responsible for identifying areas of interest to the members and organizing the events.
At present, the Chapter is 500 plus members strong and growing. The keen interest shown by the members in participating in the Chapter’s activities over the years, is a tribute to the thirst for knowledge and the desire of the Indian professional to be at the leading edge of managerial advancements and the accounting profession.
