“There is no distinction between the East and the West in the
Sky. People create their boundaries with their own minds and
believe as if it were the truth”. – Lord Buddha

To put it simply, there is an old saying that goes, “The sky has no boundaries.” The
sky is a vast expanse of space that is free from the limitations of human-made
boundaries. Yet, it is interesting to note how people create their own boundaries
with their own minds and believe them to be the truth.

Esteemed members,
India is on the moon.

The vast majority of the world’s population has repeatedly witnessed the above
sentence in recent months. The undeniable fact is that Chandrayaan’s success
stands as a testament to humanity’s remarkable advancements, not just in space
exploration and technology, but to push one’s boundaries of innovation, in domains
where we often tend to underestimate ourselves.
Bahrain Chapter of ICAI (“BCICAI”) since its inception has left no stone unturned
ever, to go “Above and Beyond” one’s inhibitions and explore the unknown. The
15th Annual International Conference of BCICAI in 2023, is going to be yet another
glorious milestone where the profession and the professionals shall further
strengthen the foundation and take a leap beyond the boundaries.
During the recent past, upon the onset of challenging times, we have seen our
profession rise to the occasion and go beyond the call of duty. Now with the advent of
a new era of Artificial Intelligence, Tech-based Finance, and Sustainable Measures, the
profession calls us to raise the bar again. As Chartered Accountants, our profession
is defined by our ability to exceed expected standards. Through our dedication to
accuracy, reliability, and timeliness, we’ve always ensured that our stakeholders
receive the highest quality of service and that their financial well-being is secure.

I am honored to address the beloved fraternity of BCICAI and invite you to join
hands together to propel our professional and our fellow professional’s growth
“Above and Beyond” the set benchmarks.
Let’s together not just explore but seize the stars of opportunities.

As we embark on a journey to extend the skyline, let us remind ourselves of
the impact we, as members of BCICAI, can make by going above and beyond in
everything we do. Together, we can continue to lead by example and make a
positive difference in the region we work in, the places we belong to and the
world we live in.
Next time, let’s look forward to meeting and asking each other, “Tell me about a
time you went Above and Beyond?”
