Chairperson, BCICAI

Dear Readers/ To all the stakeholders,
On behalf of the Executive Committee for the term 2023-24, I am delighted to welcome all of you to our 15th
Annual International Conference with the theme “Above and Beyond”.
Through out history, many individuals have demonstrated what it means to go above and beyond. They have
shown that, with hard work, determination and a willingness to take risks, anything is possible. Going above
and beyond requires creativity and innovation and often requires sacrifice and dedication. To summarize, we
have designed the theme “Above and Beyond” to challenge all of us to strive for excellence, push beyond our
limits, reach new heights, break boundaries, and achieve greatness. The theme stands to remind us that with
hard work, determination, creativity, innovation and a willingness to take risks, there is no limit to what we can
accomplish. We sincerely hope that this year’s conference will motivate all of us to embrace this theme and
strive to go above and beyond in everything we do.

On this occasion I would like to thank the rulers of the Kingdom of Bahrain, for welcoming us with open arms
and providing a safe, fair and open environment and thereby motivating us to achieve professional excellence,
personal wellbeing and provide our best contributions for the economic development and well being of this
great nation. We would like to place on record our gratitude and thanks to our patron, H.E. Vinod K Jacob,
Ambassador of India to The Kingdom of Bahrain for his keen interest and continued support towards the
activities of the Chapter. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Abbas Radhi, Chairman of
Bahrain Accountants Association for their affiliation with BCICAI.

We are immensely delighted to have amidst us the esteemed speakers in the conference, each of whom, have
demonstrated going above and beyond and achieving expertise, excellence and recognition in their respective
domains. We thank you for sparing your scarce time to attend the conference and inspire the participants
with your insights.

Words would not suffice to express our gratitude to our sponsors and partners, who have thrown their weight
behind us and work with us to make this conference a grand success.

We would like to thank all our past chairpersons and mentors who stand by us as our pillars of strength and
guide us navigate uncertain terrains with elan.
Last but not the least, a heartfelt gratitude to all our members, the Chartered Accountants in The Kingdom of
Bahrain whose involvement, energy and support fuels us to go Above and Beyond.
I conclude by welcoming all of you once again to our flagship 15th Annual International Conference and wishes
you all to enjoy two days full of learning, reflections, self-realisations and enjoyment.
