New Year Resolutions Year 2008

I got a very thoughtful greeting on the New Year. I would like to share it with you:

Life is like having a cup of tea.
You sit by the side of the window, lift the cup and take a careless sip,
Only to realize, somebody forgot to put the sugar.
Too lazy to go for it you somehow struggle through the sugarless cup.
Until you discover un-dissolved sugar crystals sitting at the bottom…

The last line really stirred me. My new year resolutions would be to

1. Stir Management Accountants to aspire like Dr D K Sarraf
2. Stir Management Accountants to participate in discussions and share their knowledge on their blogs.
3. Stir Management Accountants in practice to their own website.
4. Stir Management Accountants to become IT savvy – organise their calendar, address book, google reader, stumbleupon and bookmarks on the internet.
5. Stir Management Accountants to plan and travel around the globe for business and pleasure.

Is there anything more? Then I would like you to stir me up! You know where to post your comments .

Wish You and Your Family a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2008

Should ICWAI have TTP scheme for its students

There is a news item on Accountancy Age on 31-Dec-2007

“Tesco Ireland and Hibernian are the two latest companies to joint the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI) employer partnership scheme.

The employer partnership scheme’s objective is to promote best practice in learning and development by working with employers to help chartered accountants employed in their businesses fulfill their CPD requirements.” Click here to read more

I feel that ICWAI should have tie ups with the employers in India, so that students pursing Cost & Management Accountancy will be focussed in this direction. Similarly the profession will get a boost since there will be a partnership by ICWAI with the industry. The career path of management accountants will be guided to rise in the corporate ladder.

Cost Management – Mr Richard Monk

The largest, and the most complex organisation in Canada is the Government of Canada, says Mr Richard Monk, Chairman, CMA (Certified Management Accountants) Canada. “It makes over $200 billion in expenditures annually, manages a workforce of some 4,50,000 people, and provides some 1,600 different programs and services across Canada and around the globe”

Such sheer size and complexity create significant challenges to comptrollership, financial management and accountability, he adds, during the course of a recent e-mail interaction with Business Line.

CMA has ‘more than 37,000 CMAs and 10,000 CMA students,’ as http://www.cma-canada.org informs. And as the new chief of the body, when Mr Monk spoke of his priorities in the latest issue of http://www.managementmag.com, first came the aligning of ‘major governance initiatives,’ and second, the continuing ‘to cultivate relationships with international associations with similar values and services to those of CMA Canada.’
