On behalf of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India we welcome you to the Chartered Accountants day celebration.

T Kathikeyan, Secretary, ICAI: It gives me great pleasure in inviting you all to the Chartered Accountants day. CA Day or the foundation day as is fondly called. Is a day to remember, a day to be reckoned with and a day for celebrations although the profession of accountants commence their journey.

In 1913 with the introduction of first statutory provision for audit yet the great profession of Chartered Accountants formally came into existence on the first day of July 1949 with the establishment of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

Since then through their self risk, dedicated and unblemished track record has made it possible to gain the public confidence and trust which formed the basis for the very solid and strong foundation of this profession.
