The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) on Wednesday ceremoniously inaugurated the 43rd National Conference of Chartered Accountants with the ambitious aim of taking the lead to transform self, society, corporate and the country.
Supreme Court JusticeYasantha Kodagoda, PC was the Chief Guest while Rohan Pethiyagoda, Biodiversity Scientist, delivered the keynote speech at the conference which is recognised as Sri Lanka’s biggest annual business summit.
The 3-day event, held under the theme “Transform: Self, Society, Corporate, Country” attracted over 2000 delegates from Sri Lanka and overseas, and was further boosted with 14 speakers and seven panelists who delved into detail during two days of technical sessions on the need not just to transform strategic areas, but the fundamental requirement for everyone to transform as individuals, professionals, and citizens, apart from society-level transformation, without which Sri Lanka cannot achieve holistic country-wide transformation.
Justice Kodagoda called on the professional community to reflect introspectively as well as in an outward direction as to how everyone can contribute towards the development of a united, peaceful, economically viable and a proud nation, according to his comments released in a media release issued by the institution.
He noted that as much as everyone expected political leaders to transform as visionary, honest and strong leaders, it was imperative for everyone else to also transform in the same direction that is expected of the country’s leadership.
Delivering the keynote, Mr. Pethiyagoda emphasised that men and women are not equal due to fundamental differences in them, although they deserve the same consideration. “You only have to go to Welikada prison or any other prison on the planet to find that 95 per cent of the prisoners are men. Everyone in prison is in prison because of their behaviour, so anyone who claims that men and women are equal must tell me why there aren’t more women in prison.”
