DECEMBER 2008 950 THE CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT<br />
READERS WRITE<br />
Good Contemporary Articles<br />
It is heartening to come across a story on corporate<br />
environment management in the June 2008<br />
issue of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Chartered</strong> <strong>Accountant</strong>. Environment<br />
management is a means by which companies<br />
and governmental departments act to identify<br />
their impacts on the environment and improve<br />
their performance in this area, and encourage<br />
their suppliers, customers and partners to do the<br />
same. Environmental issues impact both our personal<br />
as well as corporate health.<br />
I appreciate the ICAI’s efforts for publishing<br />
articles on such a pertinent issue, and I wish all<br />
success for its succeeding exclusives.<br />
– Shri Amar Singh, MP (Rajya<br />
Sabha)<br />
Congrats for the engrossing<br />
article on Corporate Governance<br />
published in November<br />
issue of the Journal, dripping<br />
with dharma needed for corporate<br />
karma. All that corporate<br />
czars need to do is to read<br />
to become the breed to start encouraging value<br />
innovation. It is not at all easy to dress a vast<br />
literature with past blenders and still impress in<br />
such a blending article of management & spirituality.<br />
– CA. M Sivaraman, Chennai<br />
Admiration for ICAI Initiatives<br />
I appreciate the initiatives taken up by the Institute<br />
like the e-learning courses, tie-ups with<br />
management universities, new certificate courses<br />
in Forex & Treasury Management, Derivatives,<br />
IFRS, etc. Integrity and commitment towards<br />
the profession and keeping up the high standards<br />
can be the contribution of each member<br />
to the profession and the Institute. I feel extremely<br />
proud to be a member of the esteemed<br />
Institute.<br />
I find a great visionary in the President of our<br />
Institute.<br />
– CA. Pradip Kaodkar, Goa<br />
I really appreciate Members' Helpdesk, a recent<br />
initiative. I congratulate our President for such<br />
an innovative initiative. Use of internet will increase<br />
the speed of communication between the<br />
Institute and its members and also among members.<br />
I have really benefited from this Helpdesk.<br />
Firm-name approval normally takes about one<br />
and a half month besides postal delays, but I<br />
got my firm’s name approved within 3 days. Credit goes<br />
to this Helpdesk. I would also like to appreciate the timely<br />
responses to my queries from the authorities concerned.<br />
– CA. Vinayak A. Aamale-Patil, Nashik<br />
I do agree with the President that practical training of articles<br />
must be taken more seriously, and that there has been<br />
a three-fold increase in the enrolment for articleship since<br />
200-05. Under the present system of CPT, plus 2 students<br />
with 17 years of age lack basic theoretical knowledge and<br />
reasonable maturity to do audit. PE-II should be part of CA<br />
curriculum and not an entry requirement.<br />
– CA. M.C Joseph, Kochi<br />
I am very happy to know that our institute has started<br />
certificate courses in Forex & Treasury Management and<br />
Derivatives. It is necessary for us to understand international<br />
finance and money market. <strong>The</strong> article on corporate<br />
finance was very educative. I am really proud that a street<br />
has been named Auditors Street in Salem and it is one more<br />
milestone of recognition.<br />
– CA. Kaushalendra Pandey, Kanpur<br />
Attractive Cover Page<br />
I am happy to see our Journal carrying a beautiful cover<br />
page. Please try to incorporate more case studies on finance<br />
banking and economy so that we may be benefited more.<br />
– CA. Neelesh Gupta, Shahdol<br />
Use of Unstructured Learning Activities<br />
<strong>The</strong> unstructured CPE learning activities introduced by the<br />
Institute is one of the best steps for members in industry<br />
for fulfilling CPE Credits and benefitting from it.<br />
– CA. N. Syed Nafiz Ahamed, Chennai<br />
Build CA Parks!<br />
My idea for celebrating the Diamond Jubilee year in a fitting<br />
manner would be by establishing CA parks the way we<br />
have IT parks.<br />
– CA. R. Suresh, Pondicherry<br />
