The first Annual General Meeting (the AGM) of CA Sri Lanka – Australia Chapter Inc. (‘the Chapter’) was held on 12 December 2021. Welcoming the members, Chapter President Millon Landers stated that the resilience and commitment exhibited by the Executive Committee members to the Chapter’s progress during last year was extraordinary. As a result, he stated that a solid foundation was laid to form a member-centric, well-structured, and collaborative Chapter in Australia. The Annual Report of the Chapter was presented during the AGM, portraying the achievements of the Chapter and demonstrating to the world the value of connecting beyond boundaries https://caslaustralia.org.au/annual_report/mobile/index.html
A special resolution was passed to change the Chapter's name to ‘CA Sri Lanka – Australia Chapter Inc.’ to reflect the interest of all the Chapter members living across Australia. This would also enable the Chapter to be more inclusive and supportive of member needs across Australia.
Dr. Pavithra Siriwardhane, who was elected as the incoming President of the Chapter, laying down the vision and future roadmap of the Chapter, stated that the Chapter would collaborate more with CA Sri Lanka, CAANZ, CPA Australia and academic institutions in Australia. She accentuated that outcome of such collaborations would benefit the wider membership and help in the economic policy development efforts of CA Sri Lanka.
