CA Sri Lanka is among the country's leading and largest tertiary
education providers, with a mammoth student base of 41,000 who are
aspiring chartered accountants. "Our qualification is recognized to be
one that is both relevant and modern, and most importantly globally
recognized, and our training partners play a major role in helping groom
qualified chartered accountants to the world," he said "As a training
partner, the organisation provides practical training which in result
assists the long term development of the accountancy profession in the
country," he noted.
Chief Executive Officer of CA Sri Lanka, Mr. Aruna Alwis stressed
that the three-year long practical training is an integral part of the
institute's study programme and the Institute believes that these
partnerships with training organizations will benefit its trainees and
the accounting profession as a whole.
Alwis also noted that for the benefit of its mammoth student base,
the Institute also had its very own modern multi storied building which
provides enhanced infrastructure facilities and services allowing
students to follow the chartered accountancy course under much more
student friendly environment.
Sanjaya Bandara, Alternate Chairman of the Students Training &
Development Committee reiterated to the Supervising Members the
importance of providing a quality training to develop a competent
Chartered Accountant and emphasized that a thorough training is the
expectation of the Institute from its training partners. Chairman of CA
