The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) will present its 47th National Conference of Chartered Accountants from 7 to 9 October at the Monarch Imperial, Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte, under the theme “FUSION: Connecting Ideas|Creating Impact.”
Announcing the three-day conference at a media briefing on this week, CA Sri Lanka President Tishan Subasinghe said the National Conference has evolved into a catalyst for meaningful dialogue and action.
“Over a period of three days, the 47th National Conference will examine the issues shaping business, our profession and the wider economy. More importantly, it will encourage bold thinking, meaningful dialogue and practical action that can create lasting impact,” Subasinghe said.
The conference is expected to attract more than 2,500 participants, including C-suite executives, policymakers, senior finance professionals, business leaders, entrepreneurs, mid-level professionals and young Chartered Accountants, with participation available both physically and virtually.
“While CA Sri Lanka is proud to organise the National Conference, its significance extends well beyond the accounting profession. As Sri Lanka’s premier business summit, it creates opportunities for meaningful dialogue, new partnerships and shared learning. Its true value lies not in the numbers attending, but in the ideas exchanged, the connections formed and the impact generated,” Chairman of the National Conference Committee Thivanka Jayasinghe added.
The theme reflects the evolving role of Chartered Accountants in an increasingly interconnected, technology-driven world. FUSION represents the integration of knowledge, innovation, technology, leadership and human insight to create meaningful and sustainable value. It highlights the profession’s evolution beyond technical expertise towards broader roles as strategic advisers, innovators, transformational leaders and trusted guardians of organisational value.
By bringing together financial expertise, technology, ethics and business insight, FUSION aims to support better decision-making and stronger organisations. Complementing the theme is the Phoenix, the conference’s visual identity, symbolising renewal, resilience, transformation, growth and the confidence to embrace change.
The 47th National Conference will feature seven main sessions with more than 25 local and international speakers, covering a broad range of topics including situational leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, personal and corporate wellbeing, the future of the profession, technology and artificial intelligence, governance, trust, legal considerations, sustainability and emerging business developments.
