As a premier professional organisation, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) has once again strengthened the corporate sector by introducing a new cohort of Chartered Accountants.

These individuals are equipped with a range of versatile skills and expertise, ready to navigate the constantly changing corporate landscape.

At the Annual Convocation 2024 of CA Sri Lanka, a total of 381 individuals were conferred with the distinguished Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) designation, while another 66 existing members of CA Sri Lanka were elevated to the prestigious Fellow Chartered Accountant (FCA) status.

The convocation was graced by Seylan Bank PLC Director/Chief Executive Officer Ramesh Jayasekara, CA Sri Lanka President Heshana Kuruppu, Member Relations Committee Chairman Thivanka Jayasinghe, and Chief Executive Officer Lakmali Priyangika.

In his congratulatory message, Ramesh Jayasekara said being a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka is more than an academic achievement. He added that it opens doors to invaluable resources, networking opportunities, and a commitment to excellence and ethical standards.

Addressing the gathering, Heshana Kuruppu emphasised how the accountancy field has evolved with the times. “It is an exciting time to be a Chartered Accountant, but also a demanding one. The rules of business and governance are being rewritten every day, and the agility to adapt to these changes has become a key factor in success. More than ever, Chartered Accountants are expected to demonstrate not just competence, but the ability to continuously evolve.”

At the convocation, CA Sri Lanka also bestowed the “President’s Award for Most Outstanding New Member — 2024” to Supun Muthukuda, while Amila Sampath was awarded the title of “Youngest CA Member of the Year — 2024.”
