Wishing you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! As we embark upon another year filled with opportunities and challenges, it is my pleasure to connect with you through this edition of ACA Journal.
The month of January was indeed an eventful one for our association. One of the most anticipated events of our calendar, the Residential Refresher Course (RRC), took place from the 6th to the 10th of January at the serene locations of Chandigarh and Kasauli. With 89 enthusiastic participants, including members and their spouses, the RRC once again proved to be a resounding success. The event was not only enriching but also a delightful experience for all attendees. However, unforeseen circumstances in the form of flight cancellations due to adverse weather conditions posed a challenge for our return journey. I must take this opportunity to sincerely appreciate the exceptional teamwork and diligence demonstrated by Team RRC, led by CA. Maulik Desai and comprising CA. Chintan Doshi, CA. Monish Shah, and CA. Ashish Sharma. Their swift and efficient response ensured that the situation was handled smoothly. I would also like to extend my gratitude to all participants for their patience and cooperation during this time.
In addition to RRC, we had an insightful Study Circle Meeting where we deliberated on the topic of the Constitution of India, which has completed 75 glorious years since its adoption. This discussion provided a valuable opportunity to reflect upon the significance and impact of our Constitution in shaping the legal and economic framework of our nation.
Another highlight of the month was the engaging Brain Trust Meeting on "Contemporary Issues in GST." The session was graced by the esteemed Advocate Uchit Sheth, who shared his expert insights as the Brain Trustee. His deep understanding of the subject and interactive deliberation provided immense value to all attendees, making it a highly enriching session.
As we step into February, the much-awaited Union Budget 2025 will be the focal point of our discussions and analyses. By the time you receive this journal, we will all be engrossed in deciphering the implications of the budget on various sectors of the economy. I encourage all members to actively participate in discussions and knowledge-sharing sessions that will be organized by the association.
I look forward to another year of learning, collaboration, and growth for all of us at the CA Association Ahmedabad. Let us continue our journey together with the same enthusiasm and dedication.
Best Regards,
CA. Riken Patel
President,
CA Association, Ahmedabad
