CA Sri Lanka ties up with CIPFA
To support public sector accountants:
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka)
and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA)
have agreed to work together to transform the support available for Sri
Lankan public finance professionals.
A memorandum of understanding was signed recently, agreeing a
partnership to develop joint qualification and membership arrangements
for public financial management professionals in Sri Lanka.
The partnership aims to serve the needs of Public Financial
Management professionals and others working in Sri Lanka's public
sector, and to collaborate to strengthen the relationship between the
two bodies. CA Sri Lanka President, Sujeewa Mudalige commenting on this
landmark tie up with CIPFA said, "We welcome this agreement for the
benefits that it will bring our members and to the finance professionals
in the public sector and we look forward to developing stronger ties
with CIPFA in the future."
He also noted that CIPFA's expertise and international track record
in this area will put Sri Lanka at the forefront of public financial
management best practice.
CIPFA President, Chris Bilsland said, "This memorandum of
understanding is a brilliant example of the international desire for
effective public financial management and recognition of the benefits
that it can bring. CIPFA is delighted to be helping Sri Lankan
professionals with their capacity building efforts and we feel that this
developing relationship will be mutually beneficial."
As a leading professional organisation in the country, CA Sri Lanka
enjoys a membership of over 4300 highly qualified chartered accountants
who serve both in Sri Lanka and abroad. Late last year, the Institute
also signed an MoU with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
England and Wales (ICAEW), which established closer working relations
between the two bodies and enabled qualified members of either Institute
to join the other and to obtain non-auditing practising rights. |
