Armed with a globally recognised accounting qualification, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) will once again boost this year’s pioneering higher education and careers exhibition, EDEX Expo 2012, with a gold sponsorship while also utilising the exhibition as a platform to attract the best and brightest students across the country to pursue a professional career in accountancy.
As one of the country’s largest tertiary education providers outside the university system with a student base of over 37,000, CA Sri Lanka which is also among the largest and most recognised professional bodies in the country, will be present at the education and career exhibition on until 20 to 22 January at the BMICH in Colombo and subsequently at the Kandy City Centre on 27 and 28 January 2012.
At the exhibition, the institute will utilise its stall to highlight the importance of obtaining the globally recognised CA Sri Lanka qualification to stall visitors, while especially encouraging students both from commerce and non-commerce streams to pursue studies in the accountancy sphere at an affordable rate.
The locally and internationally recognised CA Sri Lanka qualification gives student a thorough understanding on key subjects in business, finance and management which are key elements that sharpens and nurtures the capabilities of a competent accountant.
Furthermore, the most important and unique feature of the CA Sri Lanka qualification is the three year practical training period where a student has to undergo during his or her course of study.
Today CA Sri Lanka qualified Accountants play a major role in almost every sphere locally and overseas.
CA Sri Lanka qualified accountants also play a leading role in the corporate boardroom with approximately 60 per cent from the top 50 companies listed in the Colombo Stock Exchange having at least one CA Sri Lanka member in their Board often as chairman, CEO, CFO or as a director, while an impressive 30 per cent of the 4200 CA Sri Lanka members are based overseas serving in high-end corporate positions abroad.
