The highly successful CA Sri Lanka-INSEAD Global Leadership Program organised by the Business School of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) which will make a comeback for a third time next month has received rave reviews from top financial professionals in the country for its innovative and contemporary curriculum.
The CA Sri Lanka-INSEAD Global Leadership four-day program was initially launched in Sri Lanka in June 2011 and made a comeback for a second time in September due to the overwhelming demand.
Among some of Sri Lanka’s leading corporate financial professionals who participated in last year’s workshop was the Chief Financial Officer of Aitken Spence PLC Nilanthi Sivapragasam who expressed her great satisfaction in the program.
“It was an interesting and absorbing program. The teaching techniques were innovative and the outline of the course content with appropriate examples and videos was excellent. It was an enjoyable four days and the CA Business School should be encouraged to bring in more programs of this nature to Sri Lanka,” she added.
