It is my privilege to take over the mantle of the Hong Kong Chapter of ICAI from CA Vinod Menon, the immediate past president who has steered our young organization to greater heights continuing the solid foundation laid by CA Anoop Gidwani our Chairman Emeritus.
The Hong Kong Chapter was born out of the keen desire among some of our long standing members to come together to provide a platform for professional enrichment, knowledge enhancement, socializing, and form a close bonding both at the personal and professional level. This was actualized in January 2018 through unstinted efforts of our founding members and gained momentum through the years. However, it was abruptly interrupted in March 2020 by Covid-19 for over three long years until 2023 due to strict social distancing measures imposed in Hong Kong.
Since 2024 your Chapter resumed its normal operations and monthly breakfast sessions gained immense popularity amongst the alumni of the Hong Kong Chapter providing an unique opportunity to gain knowledge on varied topics such as Single-Family Office Ordinance, Succession Planning, NRI Taxation, Cyber Security, Forensic Accounting, Insurance Industry, Investment Outlook, Global Minimum Tax. These were supplemented with social and sporting events such as Diwali celebrations, Cricket Match, Badminton Tournament, Visit to Macau.
