The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) and the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) signed an agreement last week to strengthen the scope of CA Sri Lanka members.
The agreement was signed by CA Sri Lanka President Jagath Perera and CA ANZ Chief Executive Officer Rick Ellis, in Sydney, Australia, in the presence of Consul-General for Sri Lanka in Sydney Lal Wickrematunge, President of CA ANZ Jane Stanton, Vice President of CA Sri Lanka Manil Jayesinghe, Immediate Past President Lasantha Wickremasinghe and Member of Council N. R. Gajendran. The signing ceremony was also witnessed by the Institute’s past presidents Yohan Perera, ArjunaHerath, Prof. L. R. Watawala and several members of CA Sri Lanka who reside in Sydney.
The agreement paves the way for members of CA Sri Lanka and CA ANZ to obtain membership from either Institute, while also allowing Chartered Accountants of both bodies to enhance their preeminence of the CA designations and continue to be an important contributor to the organisation and country they serve for.
A leading professional accounting body with more than 120,000 members spread across Australia, New Zealand and many other countries, CA ANZ is recognised as an institute that empowers its members to become leaders and shapers of finance and business in Australia and New Zealand, and other parts of the world.
