Chairman Desk
Dear Esteemed Members,
Greetings!
I trust this edition of our newsletter finds you in good health and high spirits. It is truly inspiring to witness the continued growth, enthusiasm, and active participation of our members in various professional development initiatives. April 2025 was a vibrant month, marked by impactful programs designed to strengthen our collective knowledge and professional competence.
We successfully conducted CPE sessions on:
Mandatory Requirements of Financial Statements for Non-Corporate Entities – As per ICAI Guidance Note: The session covered important areas, including the minimum components of financial statements, key disclosure requirements, classification of non-corporate entities, applicability of accounting standards, key differences from corporate financial reporting, and the critical role of Chartered Accountants in ensuring compliance and transparency.
Another highlight was the CPE session on: GST Perspective While Closing the Books of Accounts: This session focused on vital GST considerations and practical precautions to be taken during finalization of accounts, aiming to prevent future litigation risks. The discussion was timely, insightful, and highly beneficial for practicing professionals.
