Dear Members and Fellow Professionals Colleagues,

As we celebrate 41 years of excellence, I am honoured to lead the ICAI Bahrain Chapter into another exciting year of growth, collaboration, and meaningful contribution.

Our theme for 2026–27, IMPACT – Inspire • Act • Transform, reflects a simple yet powerful belief: our success should never be measured by the number of events we organise, but by the positive difference we create in the lives of our members, our profession, and the wider community.

This year, our focus is on creating lasting value through initiatives that empower professionals, inspire future Chartered Accountants, support women in their career journeys, promote health and well-being, strengthen community engagement, foster meaningful professional connections, and celebrate the diverse talents of our members and their families. Every initiative is designed with one purpose—to create an impact that extends far beyond a single event or committee term.

The ICAI Bahrain Chapter has always been defined by the passion, dedication, and generosity of its members. It is this collective spirit that has made our Chapter one of the most vibrant and respected overseas Chapters of ICAI. Building on this strong legacy, our Executive Committee is committed to creating opportunities that help every member learn, connect, contribute, and grow.

I warmly invite each one of you to be an active part of this journey. Your ideas, participation, and support will be the driving force behind everything we achieve together. Let us continue to inspire one another, act with purpose, and transform challenges into opportunities. Together, we can build a Chapter that is remembered not only for its excellence, but for the lasting impact it creates.

Together, let's inspire. Together, let's act. Together, let's transform.

Let's create IMPACT—together.

Warm regards,
CA Viinod Rathi
Chairperson (2026–2027)
ICAI Bahrain Chapter
