Dear Esteemed Members, Namaste!
“The future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma Gandhi
The Chartered Accountancy profession continues to evolve as a beacon of integrity,
precision, and progressive vision.
In an era marked by technological disruption and regulatory transformation, it is imperative for us to remain agile, future-ready, and grounded in our core values.
Every effort we make toward upskilling contributes not only to our professional growth but also to the broader mission of nation-building.
May was a remarkable month for the Nashik Branch, showcasing the collective energy and commitment of our members. We successfully conducted a full-day
seminar on Financial Reporting Practices and an insightful session on GST Litigation. A unique highlight was the mock search session—conducted for the first time in Nashik—which provided practical exposure and was highly appreciated for its immersive learning experience.
It was a matter of pride for us to host the 300th batch of the ICAI AI Certificate Course—testimony to our ongoing dedication to integrating technology in our profession. In furthering our knowledge-sharing initiatives, we launched two new study circles on Concurrent Audit and Artificial Intelligence, alongside our ongoing discussions on Direct and Indirect Taxes.
We also celebrated moments that strengthened bonds beyond the professional realm. Our Mother’s Day seminar and the refreshing trek to Anjaneri Fort added vibrance to our calendar. WICASA, too, has been active with a string of engaging student-centric activities, including Quiz, Elocution, and Essay Writing Competitions.
A special mention goes to the Student RRC at Goa—a memorable and enriching experience for our budding professionals.
As part of World Bicycle Day, we are organizing a themed rally—“Ride for Clean Air.” Cycling symbolizes more than fitness—it represents a commitment to a cleaner, healthier planet. Every ride reduces our carbon footprint and sets a powerful example of sustainable living. As the saying goes, “When you ride a bicycle, you are not just saving fuel—you are saving the planet.” Let’s
pedal together for a greener tomorrow and a healthier Nashik.
Looking ahead, June holds promising events: a Capital Market Conclave to deepen our financial insights and a session on Wills and Succession Planning—an essential but often overlooked area in advisory practice. I’m also pleased to announce that our Branch has been allotted a new batch for the Certificate Course on Concurrent Audit of Banks, scheduled for weekends in July. I urge members to take full advantage of this opportunity to elevate their professional expertise.
As we are aware that the due date for filing of Income Returns has been extended till the mid of September, let us take this opportunity to engage ourselves in informative and knowledge upgrading sessions at the branch and make the most of this time. As professionals,
the hunger for knowledge and learning is always alive within us and with the upgradation of technology and newer opportunities, let us come together to share knowledge and network opportunities with the fellow professionals.
Let us march forward with the inspiring words of Swami Vivekananda in our hearts: “If you think yourself strong, strong you will be.” With resilience, unity, and self-belief, we can achieve remarkable heights.
My heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your engagement with our newsletter. Your inputs and encouragement motivate us to curate content that is relevant, insightful, and impactful. I also invite members to contribute original articles— be it technical analysis, professional experiences, or unique viewpoints—that can enrich our collective learning. With warm regards and great expectations,
CA Jitendra Phafat
Chairperson
ICAI NASHIK BRANCH (WIRC)
