The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) will host two important accounting assemblies in Colombo in October this year through hybrid events. The combined event is expected to attract over 2500 local and foreign delegates from 30 countries, including top international accounting professionals, making it one of the biggest hybrid (physical and online) conferences ever to be held in Sri Lanka.
The 20th CAPA Conference of the Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants (CAPA), will be held alongside CA Sri Lanka’s own 42nd National Conference of Chartered Accountants. Aptly themed ‘Heritage: Many Businesses, One Planet’, the mega event will be held on October 6-8, CA Sri Lanka said in a media release.
The theme and the conference website https://caconference.casrilanka.com/ were unveiled last week at the institute. The event was attended by CA Sri Lanka President Manil Jayesinghe, Vice President Sanjaya Bandara, Chairman of the Conference Committee Tishan Subasinghe, Chairperson of the Technical Committee Ms. Anoji De Silva, and CEO Ms. Dulani Fernando, while President of CAPA Dr. Chen Yugui and Chief Executive Mr. Brian Blood connected virtually.
The event aims to explore the role and contribution accountants can make to mitigate and adapt to imminent risks and threats faced by humanity due to current global contemporary issues such as climate change and rapid technological developments. The mega event will also bring together 40 speakers, panelists and moderators, who will deliberate contemporary and emerging issues impacting the accounting profession, alongside a rapidly changing social, economic and technological landscape, the release said.
