Dear Young Friends ,
I am extremely delighted to launch the Women’s day special edition of “Capture” the SICASA newsletter with special columns on empowerment of Women, who are the real architects of our society. Saluting the spirit of womanhood this edition is dedicated to them.
As we are gearing up for the financial year end activities and looking forwards to the new financial year, we must treat these as opportune times, our quality of success will greatly depend upon our ability to remain disciplined in all matters while keeping our values intact. With radical changes lined up in virtually every sphere of our professional area, our intellect and mettle will be tested on a continuous basis, and we have to prove our professional performance by balancing our skills and values perfectly.
The month of March was a very busy one with many SICASA activities, we celebrated Women’s Day in association with Ernakulam branch of ICAI of SIRC, Prof. (Dr.) Rose Varghese, Vice Chancellor of National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS), Kalamassery, addressed the students and shared her words of wisdom with the students.

The SICASA students also went for Industrial visits to Travancore Cochin Chemicals Limited, Udyogamandal and Milma, Edappally, the students also went for an academic tour during the month. SICASA also organized four day Seminar on Accounting Standards for IPCC Students which was highly appreciated by all the participants.

Shalini Warrier, Chief Operating Officer, The Federal Bank Ltd was the chief guest for the program and addressed the students on the recent developments in the banking industry and give her insights to the students on how to approach the bank audit. SICASA as a part of its social commitment honored Mr. Judeson, who is actively involved in taking care of leprosy patients and providing free food to around 1500 needy people on a daily basis.
