Dear Members and Students,
Wishing you all a prosperous and successful new financial year! May this year bring new opportunities, growth, and achievements in both your personal and professional journeys.
March is not just another month—it is a reminder that every ending marks a new beginning. As we approach the financial year-end, let us reflect on our journey so far and prepare ourselves for the opportunities that lie ahead.
Success is not defined by a single achievement but by the consistent effort, resilience, and passion we bring to our work every day. Challenges may arise, but remember, growth happens outside our comfort zones. Every obstacle is an opportunity to learn, to innovate, and to emerge stronger.

For our students, as exams draw closer, stay focused and believe in your abilities. Hard work never goes unnoticed, and persistence always pays off. Keep pushing forward, knowing that every step you take is bringing you closer to your dreams.
Our branch has started classes for CA Intermediate. It was heartening to hear positive reviews about our classes from students. The results of students of our institute in the just concluded exams are noteworthy. We will also be conducting classes for CA foundation and crash courses for students preparing for upcoming exams.
For our members, let us continue to uphold the values of our profession with integrity and commitment. The world is evolving, and so must we. Lifelong learning is the key to staying ahead, adapting, and making a difference.
In March, we proudly hosted a series of impactful events. Notably, our International Women’s Day celebration on March 8th was a memorable occasion, featuring Smt. Sarica A. Reddy, Civil Judge (Junior Division) of Changanassery, as the chief guest. Dr. Sheena Susan Andrews, an ophthalmologist and Medical Retina Specialist at Marian Eye Care & Bharath Hospital, delivered an inspiring keynote address. Additionally, sessions led by CA Nisha Elizabeth Shajan and CA Prasanth Srinivas provided valuable insights, and participants earned three hours of CPE credit.
On March 15th, we successfully conducted a CPE Seminar on Bank Branch Audit, aimed at enhancing expertise in this critical domain. Shri. D S Ajay Prakash, Regional Manager, Canara Bank, Kottayam, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, sharing valuable insights on banking and audits. The technical sessions, led by CA. P.M. Veeramani and CA. Nitin N. from Kochi, explored traditional matters of Bank Audit and Certification as well as New Age Approach vis-a-vis use of technology for audit. The seminar provided in-depth knowledge of evolving audit methodologies and equipped participants to navigate modern banking challenges, with 4 hours of CPE credit awarded for their participation.
Additionally, on March 25th, we hosted a One-Day Training Programme for Peer Reviewers, offering 6 hours of CPE credit. This session aimed at enhancing the knowledge and effectiveness of peer reviewers, ensuring quality and compliance in the profession. On the same day, an Investor Awareness Program for University Students was conducted, where CA. Shine P. Joseph led an insightful session on investment strategies and financial planning, equipping students with essential financial knowledge.

A heartfelt thank you to all the speakers, participants, staff and managing committee members who contributed to making these events a grand success.

As we move forward, let this month be one of renewed energy, determination, and purpose. Believe in yourself, embrace challenges, and keep striving for excellence. The best is yet to come!
