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.
Literally, k'gGt' dg;f lwoM means: “Purity of mind and clarity of wisdom.”
The Vedic text is chanted aloud during occasions 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.
