Dear Members,
Warm greetings to all.
As we step into the month of June, it gives me immense pleasure to look back on the activities and achievements of our branch during May 2026. The month was marked by meaningful learning opportunities and active participation from our members, students, and stakeholders, reaffirming our collective commitment to professional excellence.
We commenced the month with a CPE Seminar on Labour Code on 5th May 2026, granting 3 hours of CPE credit. The session was ably handled by CA. Jeen Paul, Thrissur, who provided valuable insights into the practical aspects and emerging developments in labour laws. The programme was informative and enabled participants to gain a better understanding of the changing regulatory environment.
On 23rd May 2026, we organized an online programme on Changes in ITR for AY 2026-27 for members, articled assistants, and audit assistants in association with the ICAI Kumbakonam Branch. The session was led by Dr. CA. Abhishek Murali, Regional Council Member, SIRC of ICAI. The programme offered a detailed overview of recent amendments and filing requirements, helping participants stay updated with the latest tax developments.
Continuing our focus on professional development, a CPE Seminar on the New Income Tax Act, 2025 was conducted on 26th May 2026 with 3 hours of CPE credit. CA. Sreeraj Ramachandran, Thodupuzha, shared his expertise on the significant provisions of the new legislation and its practical implications. The active participation and interaction during the session reflected the keen interest of our members in staying abreast of legislative changes.
The month of May was also significant for our students, as they successfully completed their examinations. I congratulate each student for the dedication, hard work, and perseverance demonstrated throughout their preparation. The Chartered Accountancy journey is one that demands resilience, patience, and determination, and every effort invested today lays the foundation for future success. As the students await their results, I encourage them to remain positive and confident, knowing that sincere efforts never go unrewarded.
In today's rapidly evolving professional landscape, continuous learning is no longer an option but a necessity. As Chartered Accountants, we have a responsibility not only to enhance our technical knowledge but also to uphold the values of integrity, professionalism, and service. Let us continue to adapt to change, embrace new opportunities, and contribute meaningfully to the profession and society.
I take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our resource persons, members, students, volunteers, and office bearers whose unwavering support and active participation made these programmes successful. Your enthusiasm and commitment are the driving force behind the growth and progress of our branch.
Let us move forward together with renewed energy, optimism, and a shared vision for excellence. May we continue to learn from every experience, support one another, and strive to make a positive impact in all that we do.
"Success is not measured by the heights we reach, but by the obstacles we overcome and the lives we inspire along the way."
Warm Regards,
