CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Dear Members

It gives me great pleasure to be part of the august institution and elite member’s community. I have seen and worked with it for last 13 years. I have seen it growing and transforming from a small group of 40-50 members to its current size of approx. 300 members. I have seen the days when we used to chase members for participation and organizing any event. As a result of sound foundation laid by the leadership of past chairmen and hard work of teams a culture of one group has been built. I am fortunate that all the past chairmen are taking active interest in all the activities of the chapter and supporting us for getting learned speakers who are pioneers in their fields. I want to assure our members that we will take it further farther and work towards continuous learning process through seminars and presentations.

All such event are approved the ICAI for CPE hours credit. Every non practicing member is now required to earn at least 10 CPE hours credit every year while for practicing members it is 20 CPE Hours. We are keeping track of the developments in accounting and finance fields globally. Also we are vigilant to economic developments in UAE as well as in India . We will try our best to update our members on these on timely basis. We have also initiated a dialogue with UAE Government for setting up Institute of Chartered Accountants of UAE. We are closely working with ICAI, Indian Embassy in UAE and UAE Government.  

 All of us are multi talented and experts in many areas. We would like to tap the hidden talents of our members from within our Chapter. If any of our members is willing and good at presenting his / her knowledge, experience on professional or general interest subjects. I invite them to put a proposal to us and we will consider it favorably.

 We are fortunate to have dedicated team of committee members. To organise any event it takes a lot of planning, administrative work. Everyone has to devote considerable amount of time from his own busy schedule and other official and social commitments

 

We learn from each function we organise and it is our endeavor to improve it further.

Over the period we have increased number of activities. Families of our members also witnessed and enjoyed various social activities. Beyond all our expectations during last year's annual family dinner we witnessed attendance of over 300. Our entire major social events are lasting memories.

 

During the current year we are working on various initiative such as, DISA(Information system Audit) Course, arranging coaching for PE-II, setting up examination centre in Abu Dhabi. We will keep on updating you on other initiative as they progress.

 

No event, big or small, can be successful without active participation of members. I would urge all the members to take full interest in all the activities and provide us their feedback in order to learn and improve it further.
