Dear Esteemed Members, Colleagues, and Well-Wishers,

I am deeply honored and humbled to have been elected as the Chairman of the Chittorgarh Branch of the Central India Regional Council (CIRC) of ICAI. This position brings with it a great sense of responsibility and commitment towards the development of our profession and the betterment of our members.

As we embark on this journey together, my primary focus will be to foster professional excellence, encourage continuous learning, and create opportunities for our fraternity to grow. We will strive to organize insightful seminars, skill-enhancement programs, and networking opportunities that will empower each member to stay ahead in this dynamic environment.

One of the key initiatives that has been pursued by my predecessors is the acquisition of land and the construction of a dedicated building for our branch. I sincerely appreciate their efforts and dedication towards this significant project. During my tenure, I will continue to pursue this objective with the utmost commitment, ensuring that we move closer to achieving this milestone, which will greatly benefit our members and the profession at large.

The field of accounting and auditing is undergoing a rapid transformation with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other technological advancements. AI is reshaping financial reporting, audit automation, fraud detection, and data analytics, making it imperative for Chartered Accountants to adapt and embrace these new tools. Our branch will focus on organizing workshops and training sessions on AI-driven developments to equip our members with the necessary knowledge and skills to stay ahead in this evolving landscape.

At the same time, it is crucial to uphold the highest ethical standards and strengthen the brand of ICAI as a symbol of trust and integrity. Chartered Accountants are the backbone of financial transparency, and it is our duty to uphold professional ethics, ensuring the highest level of accountability and governance in every aspect of our work. Our branch will actively promote ethical practices and ICAI’s role in building a stronger financial ecosystem.

While professional excellence is vital, I also believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The demanding nature of our profession often leads to stress, long working hours, and burnout. Through wellness initiatives, mental health awareness programs, and discussions on stress management, we will encourage a balanced approach, ensuring that CAs not only succeed in their careers but also maintain their overall well-being.

I sincerely thank all my fellow members for their trust and support. With your cooperation, I am confident that we will achieve new milestones and take our branch to greater heights. I invite you all to actively participate in our initiatives, share your valuable insights, and contribute to the collective growth of our profession.

Let’s work together for a brighter, ethically strong, and well-balanced future for the Chartered Accountancy fraternity!


Warm regards,

CA Piyush Agarwal
Chairman 2025-2026
Chittorgarh Branch of CIRC of ICAI
