My dear Professional Colleagues,
“April, a month of transition,where the seeds of determination planted in March begin
to bloom into the flowers of success.”
April is the month when all our members will be busy conducting the Statutory Bank Audit. It is a significant time for us, and we appreciate everyone’s hard work and dedication during this period.
As we move forward, April presents us with a chance to reflect on our past achievements and to set ambitious yet attainable goals for the future. Let us use this time to evaluate our progress, identify areas for improvement, and chart a course towards continued success. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to our core values of integrity, professionalism and excellence.
In the month of the April, for the very first time, we are organizing Women RRC. We are also organising full-day program on Valuation at our ICAI Bhawan. As it rightly said, “All Work and no play makes a Jack dull boy.” Keeping this ideology in mind we are organizing a Men’s Cricket Tournament. On behalf of the entire managing committee of Surat Branch, I request active participation in these upcoming events.
As we move ahead, let us reflect on the month of March during which we have conducted various Seminars & Programs such as Analysis of Sec. 43B(h) of Income Tax Act, 1961, General Compliances of Provision of Companies Act & Code of Ethics, Seminar on CIBIL (Credit Bureau) Awareness, Full day program on Bank Branch Audit and Peer Review. We also celebrated International Women’s Day on 08th March, 2024 by conducting 3 CPE hours program on a very enterprising theme Excellence @360 degree at our ICAI Bhawan. Furthermore, we had an interactive and fruitful meeting with Past Chairmen, as well as meeting with the Faculties of OC, MCS, IT and Adv. IT last month. We thank all the members for their continuous support. It is your hard work and passion that continue to drive our collective success.
Further, we are in the process of preparing a database in collaboration with the Western India Regional Council (WIRC) of women Chartered Accountants who wish to work from home, seek part-time jobs, or are looking for flexible working hours. We believe this initiative will not only empower women Chartered Accountants but also create opportunities for them to achieve a better work-life balance. We are committed to supporting their professional aspirations and facilitating a conducive work environment.
We would like to request each member to voluntarily donate to the Chartered Accountants Benevolent Fund (CABF). Your contribution will make a significant difference in supporting fellow members and their families in times of need. Let us come together and show our solidarity and support for our community.
Together, we can achieve great things and make a lasting impact in our society and beyond.
April is the month to renew our commitment to our goals,
to put in the work,
and to reap the rewards of our efforts.
Happy to serve better.
Jai Hind!!! Jai ICAI!!!
