CA Jim Joseph Itty

Chairperson
Muscat Chapter of ICAI

Dear Professional Colleagues,
Greetings from ICAI Muscat Chapter.

It gives me immense pleasure to communicate with esteemed members of Bahrain
Chapter, a Chapter having history of more than two decades.
The theme selected for the international conference ‘Above and beyond’ is truly
inspirational and I am sure the two-days will enable the attendees to face the
challenges of the present and to look forward to a great future. Also the annual theme
of the Chapter “संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं” (“saṃgacchadhwaṃ saṃvadadhwaṃ”) taken from
the Rig Veda is so powerful, which is giving fire to the activities of the Chapter.
We always noticed that the Bahrain Chapter attends the GCC international
conferences and the ICAI annual events in great numbers and we have seen that
Past Chairs were always in the team supporting the youngsters. I believe this
teamwork is the major factor behind the growth and glory of the Chapter.
Oman and Bahrain are at different ends with respect to the area and population, but
we see a lot of cultural similarities. Both countries are known for their hospitality
and openness, and of course they like football. The Muscat Chapter also got the
opportunity to associate with the Bahrain Chapter on various occasions in the
past and we have a lot of members who previously worked in Bahrain and still
carry those beautiful memories.

On behalf of the Muscat Chapter I congratulate CA Sthanumurthy Viswanathan
Meera and the entire ExCom team and wish all the very best for a wonderful
international conference. Looking forward to meeting you all in Bahrain.
