Mangalore, Jan 4: The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(ICAI) has been celebrating its diamond jubilee this year. On this occasion, Mangalore branch of ICAI decided to felicitate 60 senior-most chartered accountants of the region. In addition, it was also decided to honour the first lady chartered accountant from the region.

At a function held in the branch office of the ICAI  located at Karangalpady here, veteran  chartered accountants from the region like A K Gopinath Shenoy, Raghavendra Rao of Srinivas Group of Institutions, H R Shetty, Paul Verghese and Claude Gonsalves were honoured. Srinivas Kamath, secretary of the Mangalore branch of the ICAI presided over the function and honoured the selected chartered accountants by presenting them mementoes and draping shawls around them. The first lady chartered accountant of the region Sybil Fernandes, who earlier worked for various multi-national companies in Muscat and Abu Dhabi and prsently serving as the chief financial officer of Fr Muller Charitable Institutions,  was also felicitated.

Sybil Fernandes, in response to the felicitation, said that she was surprised when she was first informed that she would be felicitated for being the first lady CA of Mangalore, as she never considered being a lady CA to be very special.  Thanking her mother Ida for enabling her to become a CA at 22, by providing all the encouragement needed  to her in purusing the CA simultaneously with her B Com degree course, inspite of discouraging remarks coming from all around, she said that she was sent  in 1979 when whe was 17 to Mumbai, a city  to which she was a total stranger. She also paid her tributes and thanked her teachers for the inspiration and motivation provided by them, apart from the members of the managing committee of the local branch of ICAI for conferring the honour.

Chairman of the Southern India Region Council of the ICAI, C Rajendra participated as the chief guest.

Srinivas Kamath welcomed the gathering. Chartered accountant Chandramohan proposed vote of thanks.

    Dear Collegues, It is wonderful to see several senior members practicing and retired from service. It is a good thought of the Chapter to felicitate the senior members. I wish I could be there.

    Recognizing the right people at the right time seems to be the order of the day. The three awardees are known to me very well and in fact I consider them as good friends. Paul has given a very good account of himself not only as a professional but also as a forthright person. Claude has his own name and fame. I have known Sybil and her husband Neil for several years. Sybil was with Father Muller's for length of time but took a break and she is back to The Institution and is regarded as a very efficient officer. And what about my friend Rudolph Rodrigues!. When will he get his ward?. Joe Gonsalves
