Respected Members,
It is with immense gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility that I assume the office of Chairperson of the Nashik Branch of WIRC of ICAI. I sincerely thank all members, past chairperson and MCM for placing their trust in me. I also extend my heartfelt appreciation to our Immediate Past Chairperson and all Past Chairmen whose dedication, vision, and tireless efforts have shaped the branch into a vibrant and respected professional forum. Their contributions have laid a strong foundation upon which we shall continue to build.
As we step into the new year, the branch would focus on grooming local talent, upskilling ourself with AI and relearning the New Act and legislation through seminar, workshops, webinars and other multiple options. So, our central agenda will be member-centric growth, professional excellence, and future-readiness.
One of our key focus areas will be to promote local talent. Nasik is blessed with a rich pool of knowledgeable and experienced professionals. This year, we will actively encourage our members to contribute as paper presenters, with structured 45-minute technical sessions. This initiative will provide a meaningful platform for members to showcase their expertise, enhance their professional standing, and contribute to collective learning. By nurturing our own speakers, we aim to build confidence, depth of knowledge, and stronger engagement within the branch.
Further, we will make dedicated efforts to involve members working in industry more actively in branch activities. Chartered Accountants in industry bring practical insights, strategic perspectives, and valuable real-world experience. We intend to streamline their participation through focused programs like webinars that align industry practices with institutional developments. Our goal is to ensure that every member, whether in practice, industry, or academia, feels equally represented and engaged.
We are celebrating Women’s Day on 7th March as our respect and gratitude to all Women Chartered Accountant who tirelessly attain professional achievements along with their family happiness. The branch has planned three seminars in the month of March
10th March - Seminar on Opportunities in Labour Laws and paper presentation on planning as on 31st march (3 CPE)
17th March - Seminar on Bank Branch Audit (6 CPE)
21st March – Emerging issues in Income tax (3 CPE)
WICASA Nashik has planned seminar for students on Bank Branch Audit on 18th. I request members to participate in all the events and encourage students to participate too. Let me also take this opportunity to congratulate all the newly passed Chartered Accountant, where your efforts and parent’s blessings turned into a reality, and I welcome you to be part of this great institution.
At the same time, as we remain committed to maintaining high-quality CPE programs, knowledge-sharing platforms, and networking opportunities, we will continue the good work initiated by past chairpersons and aim to elevate the standards further with discipline, transparency, and collaborative decision-making.
I firmly believe that the strength of our branch lies in the collective participation of its members. I encourage each one of you to come forward—with ideas, papers, suggestions, and active involvement. Together, we will surely achieve new accolades for this esteem branch.
I assure you of my unwavering commitment to work with integrity, inclusiveness, and dedication for the betterment of our branch. With your guidance and support, we shall strive to achieve new milestones in the year ahead.
