The session focused on:

• Opportunities post-qualification including employment, practice, industry roles, and global mobility
• Evolving role of Chartered Accountants in a digital and data-driven economy

Students also had the unique opportunity to visit the Accounting Museum, where they observed the historical evolution of accounting practices and ICAI's contributions to the profession.

The resource persons at ICAI provided clarity, motivation, and direction to the students. They shared success stories and answered career-related queries, helping students visualize a realistic and aspirational future in accounting and finance.
