The Logo of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nepal (ICAN) bears
a well-known line impregnated with a rich moral lesson. It is extracted from
Chapter XIX (text line no.39) of the Yajurveda. It is the second of the following
four-line stanza.

k'gGt' df b]jhgfM
k'gGt' dg;f lwoM .
k'gGt' ljZjf e"tflg
hftj]bM k'gLlx df ..

Literally, k'gGt' dg;f lwoM means:

“Purity of mind and clarity of wisdom.”

The Vedic text is chanted aloud during occassions of good omen for
purification of mind, body and environment.

ICAN realizes that internally purified and enlightened mind is the lifeblood of
righteousness. We consider it indispensable for both doing right things and
doing things right.

We, therefore, pledge to be guided by the Vedic principle. Our policies,

aspirations and expectations, strategies, and functioning style shall always
be determined by the above message.

We wish to be blessed with your best wishes for our success.

I am also confident that I will get due support from all

the country is achieved.
I would like to present some of the major achievements
that took place during 2011-2012.
Building Construction
The significant progress was made on the construction of
ICAN building at Satdobato, Lalitpur on the land received
on lease from the Government of Nepal. The structure
part of the construction has already been completed and
it is expected that the building will be fully completed by
the end of this year.
Acc o u n t a n t s o f N e p a l

Continuing Professional Development
The Institute has given highest priority to the capacity
building of it’s members and has been conducting CPE
programs along with workshops/seminars in joint venture
with other regulatory and professional organisations.
Training with structured curriculum covering Accounting
and Auditing Standards, Taxations and other relevant
subjects concerning accounting profession were
conducted in different part of the country to enhance
the capacity and skill of members. Similarly, various
interaction programmes were also conducted in different
parts of the country. Such interaction programmes
provided platform to understand members need
and concerns and also the issues in the accounting
profession requiring attentions and actions.
During the year a total of 31 CPE trainings were
conducted in and outside Kathmandu, out of which 21
trainings were outsourced to the registered outsourcing
units. Altogether around 3500 members benefitted from
the CPE trainings.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to the CPE
Committee Chairman and its members and ICAN staffs,
resource persons and volunteers for the successful
conduct of CPE programmes during the year.
Seminar, Workshop and Training
Enhancing the capacity of our members and keeping
them abreast of the current changes in our profession
is one of the main responsibilities of the Institute.
Keeping this in mind, different interaction programmes
with entities like Nepal Rastra Bank, Insurance Board
(Beema Samiti), Bankers Association, Nepal Insurers
Association and others were organized to discuss and
resolve current issues in banking and insurance sector
concerning regulators, operators and the auditors. These
interaction programmes not only provided our members
opportunities to discuss the recent developments in
financial sectors and but also assisted the Institute in
development long term collaboration with these entities.
On the occasion of 15th anniversary of the Institute a one
day conference in association with Bankers Association
was conducted on the topic “Contemporary Issues on
Banking from the Perspective of Regulator, Auditors and
Bankers” The Institute also conducted a one day seminar
on the contemporary issues of Insurance in association
with Nepal Insurer’s Association and Beema Samiti.

With a view to keep abreast with the Information
Technology related to accounting and auditing profession,
the Institute organized an ISA Course with the technical
assistance from ICAI. Altogether 27 participated in the
course.
During the year eight national seminar/workshop and
one International seminar was conducted. Similarly the
Institute conducted four training on member’s capacity
building for its member’s in different parts of the country
on the topics pertaining to accounting, auditing and
taxation.
In order to enhance the role and quality of our members
more plan has been designed to conduct more capacity
building programs. I would like to reassure our members
that we are committed to bring more capacity building
programs for our members.
Code of Ethics
In order to maintain professional integrity and highest
ethical standard the Institute has full enforcement of
disciplinary mechanism. During the preceding year
disciplinary actions against 3 members were taken. I
sincerely urge all members to works towards making
our profession more effective, independent and more
responsible towards the profession and nation and
to further enhance the reputation of this profession
by carrying out the professional conduct with utmost
honesty and sincerity.
The Institute has also published a handbook of the
code of ethics for professional accountants, which is a
summarized version of the IFAC code of Ethics 2010.
This is a easy reference and quick understanding of the
IFAC code of ethics.
International Relations
ICAN always has given high priority to international
membership and relation. We believe that in this era
of global networking it’s very important to maintain
relationship with various accounting bodies across the
globe to share the national and international experience
and to upgrade our skill and knowledge.
ICAN has shown strong presence in various international
forums like IFAC, CAPA and SAFA. The Institute
participated in the various board meeting, assembly
and committee meeting of these accounting bodies and
put forward issues and ideas and has accomplished
 T h e I n s tit u t e o f C h a rt e r e d
task assigned with capability. The Institute effective
participation provided platforms to present itself which
has assisted in enhancing the recognition of the Institute.
Due to our professional commitment and strong presence
in international forum, we have been nominated as a
member of newly established Public Sector Financial
Management (PSFM) Committee of CAPA. I am also
pleased to inform that ICAN will be hosting third PSFM
committee meeting along with CAPA conference on
PSFM on March 7 and 8, 2013. The CAPA meeting
and conference will be a step forward towards ICANs
international recognition.
Students Activities
Education
During the year, a good response was received from
the students interested in pursuing CA education. This
is reflected in the enrolment status of students pursuing
CA Course and during the year altogether 1244 students
enrolled for different level of the CA Course. I believe
this development is a trust and confidence bestowed in
accountancy profession by the young talents. However
we need to work further and make sure that more and
more students are attracted towards CA education,
especially in light of number of students studying abroad.
We are working hard to take the measures to overcome
whatever deficiencies we have as regards to enrolment
and facilities to the students. During the year, in order
to improve the quality of professional CA Course, and to
make compatible with the courses of other accounting
bodies in the region, revision of the curriculum and the
syllabus of CAP-I Level were made. This came with
effect from 1st of June 2012. A new syllabus of CAP-I
level is made of 300 marks instead of 600 marks without
changing fundamental subjects.
CAP-I level will now have both objective and subjective
questions. Further the duration for appearing examination
of CAP-I level has been reduced to 8 months from the
existing 12 months as amended in the Nepal Chartered
Accountants Regulation (Third Amendment) 2004. This
change at entry level will definitely have positive impact in
the CA education. With the objective of providing quality
materials to the students to facilitate the understanding
of their subjects and preparing for the examination, the
Institute during the year published study materials for
Strategic Management, MICS for CAP-III level, Taxation
Acc o u n t a n t s o f N e p a l
and Accounting Technician manual for Accounting
Manual.
Similarly questions banks and suggested answers of
past examinations of various level were published. During
the year Revision Test Paper (RTP) of certain subject
were also published.
In order to provide short guidance and technical details
crash courses were conducted on various subjects
for CAP-II and CAP-III level as per need basis of the
students. The Institute has been providing scholarship
to the outstanding and underprivileged students for
pursuing chartered accountancy education. During
the year full and partial scholarship was awarded
to 30 students pursuing different level of chartered
accountancy course.
Students are our assets and future as well. As the
flag bearer of accounting profession in Nepal it is the
responsibility of ICAN to ensure more and more students
study CA courses in Nepal. During the year to raise
awareness about CA education and to enrol as much
as student, the Institute organized career counselling
program on chartered accountancy education in different
part of the country which included college visits, free
seminar, TV and Radio promotional program. The
Institute also participated in career fair in different part
of the country. The program helped students solved their
queries on various aspect of CA course. The participants
showed keen interest on chartered accountancy and
accounting technician course and expressed their
enthusiasm to join the course.
As a part of its commitment to continuous upgrading of
quality, the Institute made GMCS (General Management
and Communication Skill) compulsory for all students
passing the Chartered Accountancy exams on or after
December 2011.
Accordingly, GMCS training was conducted for the first
time by the Institute. Altogether 11 students participated
in the training. I personally congratulate the first batch
GMCS-participants and also thank everyone who made
this program a success.
Similarly, IT training for CAP-II, CAP-III and Accounting
Technician students has been made mandatory. I believe
that such trainings will enhance the skill of our students.
In a bid to provide quality service to our students, the
Institute has introduced an IT System that will enable the
Annual Report 2011 - 12

 T h e I n s tit u t e o f
student to register themselves electronically for the hall
tests and postal test. Now they do not have to visit the
Institute personally. This will save their precious time and
can focus more on their education and training.
Accounting Technician Course
In order to develop the middle level accounting
professional, the Institute has launched the Accounting
Technician Course under the Accounting Technician
Board. Currently 152 students are pursuing this course.
Examination
The number of students appearing in the examination
has risen sharply. A total of 3639 candidates appeared
in different level of CA examination and 131 candidates
appeared for the CA membership examination. There has
been some satisfying result of late as pass percentage
is on increasing trend. During the year out of 325
candidates, 18 students qualified in the CAP-III/Final
level examination. Similarly, 35 candidates passed the
CA membership examination.
To facilitate the students, the examination centres will
be expanded to the branches at Biratnagar, Butwal and
Birgunj and also at upcoming Pokhara branch.
Publications
As a regular process, four issues of the Nepal Chartered
Accountant Journal along with one special issue of SAFA
Conference and four issues of newsletter were published.
Similarly, CAP-I and CAP-II level study materials has
also been published and CAP-III level study material is
in the publishing stage.
Accounting and Auditing Standards
The Institute has pronounced 26 Accounting Standards
and 34 Auditing Standards out which 19 Accounting
Standards are for mandatory compliances. All auditing
standards are for mandatory compliance.
The Accounting and Auditing standards Boards have
closely worked with the Institute in pronouncing
Accounting and Auditing Standards.
My sincere appreciation goes to the chairman and board
members of the Accounting and Auditing Standards for
their effort in formulating the standards.
Human Recourse Development
During the year, staffs were promoted on the basis

Way Forward
As we all know accounting profession all around the world
is facing new challenges vis-à-vis value addition and its
contribution to society and economy. We professional
accountants need to rise above our level to achieve the
competency and show our commitment by adhering to
appropriate practices in order to meet the expectation
of society and country.
 T h e I n s tit u t e o f C h a rt e r e d
ICAN aspires to stand on equal alongside all other
international accounting bodies and therefore committed
to adopt a robust education and training module as well
as strong working standards and ethics for its members.
With the introduction of uniform global accounting
language such as IFRS has thrown a big challenge to
us to upgrade and keep pace with rapid development in
accounting profession.
I also believe that Government has to accommodate
ICAN and its members at all relevant national policy
making levels so that thoughts and values of ICAN are
represented and skills and knowledge of our members
along with their independence and expertise are used
to the fullest extent for the interest of the nation. I urge
the government to consider this with highest priority and
make us an avid partner in nation building.
Acknowledgement
ICAN has been working hard on enhancing the
professional capabilities of its members. I would like to
mention that all these developments and achievements
is the outcome of hard-work, perseverance and valuable
support and guidance received from the Council
Members, Past Presidents, Regulating Authorities,
Government Officials, Members of the various standing
and non standing committee, Board and various task
forces, Members of the Institute, stakeholders, without
their support and co-operation would not have achieved
Acc o u n t a n t s o f N e p a l
the desired results. We should continue focusing the
development of the profession in more effective manner
and always look for role in contributing the process
of nation building. ICAN as a regulatory body in the
profession of accountancy in Nepal focuses its role in
formulating and implementing financial/corporate laws,
fiscal policies, investment policies, maintaining financial
transparency, etc. I look forward for the support and
contribution from all our members and stakeholders
to make this institute a professional institute of highest
standard.
I cannot conclude without giving thanks to the employees
of the Institute led by CA. Binay Prakash Shrestha,
Executive Director who have put on tiring effort to drive
the institute to this level and look forward to their even
bigger role in the days ahead.
