This is also applicable for chartered accountancy professionals who are
rendering knowledge and skill based services. Read More….

Message of the Chairman, CPEC
Dear Professional Colleagues,
A savant once said “What I believe about life, determines how I perceive
life, which determines what I receive from life.” Perception defines our
words and actions which results in the outcome. H.G. Wells had opined
that “Wealth, place and power are no measures of success. The only true
measures of success is the ration between what we might have been and we
have become.”
