and Vice-President, The ICSI respectively for Few of
the year 2017. .Along with my colleagues at
SIRC, I congratulate both President and
Vice-President on their election to the

I will be failing in my duty if I do not thank
our immediate Past Chairman, CS. Sivakumar
P, who took numerous initiatives during his
tenure. SIRC is committed for the
development of our profession in the region. I
seek the co-operation, concerted efforts,
constructive ideas and collective wisdom of
my colleagues at SIRC, Team SIRO lead by
Joint Secretary and all the Chapter Chairman

debate, deliberations, and suggestions for
betterment of the Profession in the Region. In
simple, I am available to you.
Friends, “First impressions are the most
lasting" is an old adage. Our Profession is in a
very commendable position and is hopeful of
growing at a faster rate in the days to come with
more and more avenues and areas where we can
present ourselves validly. It is here the words of
Cindy Ann Peterson, whom I quoted in
the beginning, gains importance. “Your
image is your brand and you have only one
opportunity to make that first impression.
Choose to make a positive first impression.”
SIRC eNewsletter/January 2017
recent recognitions like
appearance before the NCLT and
NCLAT, Insolvency Resolution,
appearance before GST authorities etc.,
have brought in a sea change in the
functions of our Profession. In the midst
of more and more recognitions, the image
and impression of the brand "Company
Secretary" needs to be protected and
taken to a newer height. One does not get
a second chance to make a very good first
impression. It is the obligation and duty of
each of us to introspect ourselves and
convert each such challenge in to
opportunities. In this direction, I feel we
should focus on "Capacity Building
Programs (CBP)" for our valued
members and students, who are the future
of our profession. Initially, we would like
to conduct Capacity Building
Programmes on the following areas:
1. Appearance before NCLT & NCLAT
2. Communication and Leadership
3. Arbitration and Mediation
4. FEMA Compliance
5. GST
6. Insolvency Resolution
