President's Review

In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful

“Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?” Surah Rahman – (55:13)

It is a pleasure for me to welcome you all to the 2nd Annual General

Meeting of the ICAP KSA Chapter.

This AGM also marks the completion of the 2 year period for which the

ICAP KSA Management Committee was appointed. I would like to take this

opportunity to reflect upon the last two years and the achievements of the

KSA Chapter.

As we started our professional activities, it became abundantly clear to us that we will need to

focus on some key areas including Continued Professional Development (CPD) and therefore we

set up the following committees:

- Continued Professional Development Committee (Riyadh & Khobar)

- Human Resources Committee

- IT Committee

- Public Relations Committee

Our biggest challenge was to ensure that we can provide regular CPD activities for our members

to enable them to keep themselves up to date with the developments in the professional arena

and also to meet the minimum CPD requirements of ICAP. Thanks to the efforts of the CPD

committees led by Mr. Sohail Nini (Riyadh) and Mr. Shahid Murad (Khobar), we were able to

organize 18 CPD events under the ICAP KSA Chapter banner and 8 CPD events jointly with

Pakistan Accountant Forum in Jeddah during these two years.

Another major achievement during this period was organizing the ICAP Final Exams in Riyadh.

Alhamdulillah, over 600 candidates were able to appear in their final exams from KSA and more

than 20 have qualified their final exams and became Chartered Accountants. I take this

opportunity to congratulate all of the successful candidates and hope that many more will

continue to utilize this facility and achieve success by using the Riyadh Centre for their final

exams.

Our Human Resources Committee led by Mr. Mohammad Iqbal is actively helping our members

to get placements in highly respectable organizations and has successfully developed a Job Portal

which is set to be launched soon.

The IT Committee (led by Mr. Aakif Hasnat / Mr. Assad Abbas) has also been very helpful by

developing our website and creating a group on Facebook for the benefit of the Chapter and its

members. The Public Relations Committee didn’t kick off as a formal committee; however I wish

to recognize the valuable contribution by Mr. Asher Noor who single handedly managed all the

tasks that were expected of the said committee.

ICAP KSA Chapter Second Annual Report 2013

When we started the activities of the KSA Chapter we didn’t have any funds, however, thanks to

the understanding and support provided by Mr. Khalid Rahman (Chairman of ICAP Overseas

Committee) and other Council members, ICAP provided us some funds to start our initial

activities. Those funds along with the generous contributions from our sponsors helped us to

organize two very successful annual events including the one that coincided with the Golden

Jubilee of ICAP. I am very pleased that today we are leaving behind a sizable amount of funds for

the next management committee to support future professional events and activities.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every member who has supported our

activities with a special thanks to the members of the Management Committee and particularly to

Mr. Muhammad Asif Iqbal for all his dedicated efforts and for being the focal point for all our

activities. Given his enormous contribution to the activities of the KSA Chapter, I have

recommended Asif to be part of the next management committee of ICAP KSA Chapter to ensure

there is continuity, however, I have personally decided not to continue in the next Management

Committee so as to provide an opportunity to other members to become part of the Management

Committee as I believe this would bring fresh perspective to enable the Chapter to achieve more

success going forward.

Finally, I would like to place on record my sincere appreciation for the wholehearted support

that has been provided by his Excellency the Ambassador of Pakistan to Saudi Arabia Mr. Naeem

Khan, the Secretary General of SOCPA Dr. Ahmad Al Meghames, the ICAP Presidents Mr. Rashid

Rahman Mir and Mr. Ahmad Saeed and the Chairman of ICAP Overseas Committee Mr. Khalid

Rahman without whose support it would not have been possible for us to carry out our

professional activities and organize successful social events for the members.

It has been an honor for me to have served as the founder President of the ICAP KSA Chapter. I wish all the best for ICAP, the KSA Chapter and the members and pray for their continued success in the future.

Thank You,

Amin Qureshi President Riyadh

Representation to ICAP

Under the recent Budget, an amendment was proposed under Section 114 of Income Tax Ordinance, 2001 through which all ICAP members (including overseas) will be required to file Income Tax return irrespective of income threshold. The ICAP KSA Chapter Management Committee requested ICAP to raise this with FBR so that overseas members continue to be treated just like other non-resident Pakistanis. The ICAP President had given a positive response to our request and the relevant committee of ICAP is pursuing this matter vigorously with FBR.

Second Saudi-Pak Accountancy Seminar

The ICAP KSA chapter organized the Second Saudi-Pak Accountancy Seminar on March 20, 2013 in Riyadh. The seminar was held at Riyadh Sheraton Hotel and was attended by more than 175 people relevant to the accountancy profession. A large number of Saudi finance professionals also attended including others who had flown in from Dammam, Jeddah and even UAE. The topic of the seminar was "Global Challenges, Local Solutions - Accounting to the rescue." Speakers at the seminar included His Excellency Muhammad Naeem Khan, Ambassador of Pakistan to Saudi Arabia, Dr. Ahmad Almeghames, Secretary General of SOCPA, Mr. Ahmad Saeed, President of ICAP and Kashif Rana, CFO for ACWA Power. President of ICAP KSA chapter, Mr. Amin Qureshi welcomed the participants and in his speech highlighted the achievements of the chapter including holding ICAP exams in Riyadh as well as monthly CPD activities in Riyadh and also in Dammam and Jeddah. ICAP President, Mr. Ahmad Saeed, who had flown in from Karachi for the seminar, congratulated the ICAP KSA chapter on the scale and relevance of the seminar. He highlighted the importance of the profession of accountancy and how its core values remain sought after in these times. He reiterated the resolve that ICAP has accorded to SOCPA and welcomed initiatives to further that mutual cooperation. Speaking on the occasion, His Excellency, the Pakistani ambassador expressed his admiration for the successful event and promised continued support. He spoke of the recent visits made at the highest level of leadership in both Saudi Arabia and Pakistan which are expected to take the relationship to a whole new level. He spoke warmly of the brotherly relations and praised the Kingdom as being a key country for the global economy. Dr. Almeghames, in his speech praised the good ties that SOCPA and ICAP enjoy. He presented on the latest developments within SOCPA on the convergence to IFRS and highlighted that last year the project to converge had received the official approval from all stakeholders, with H.E. Dr. Taufiq Al Rabiah, Minister of Commerce & Industry in Chair. He expected the convergence to take approximately 5 years given the complexities still surrounding the Shariah compliance aspects of transactions that IFRS has now started to review. The key note speaker for the event Mr. Kashif Rana gave an insightful speech on importance of Convergence of IFRS and its practical implications and challenges. He cautioned that it is not a one size fit all approach and with the standards continuously evolving, the practitioners along with the regulators need to be nimble and focused. A very engrossing one hour interactive panel deliberated on the "Impact of Convergence of Saudi Standards to IFRS". The panel was moderated by Mr. Asher Noor - CFO of AlTouq Group and Mr. Taha Ali Khan - National Operations Controller at Al Jomaih Automotives. The panelists included Mr. Kashif Rana and Dr. Almeghames alongwith partners of Big 4 audit firms; Mr. Steve Drake from PWC, Mr. Ehsan Makhdoum from Deloitte, Mr. Fahad Al-Toaimi from EY and Mr. Ebrahim Baeshen from KPMG. The consensus was that the convergence, while it may come at a cost requiring developing an eco-system of expertise, manpower and skillset to emerge, also provided an upside in terms of transparency and global recognition. The Master of Ceremony for the seminar was Mr. Aakif Hasnat from Olayan Group who expertly managed the seminar agenda on stage. The evening culminated with a grand dinner along with mementos to speakers as well as lucky prize draws which were ably conducted by Mr. Muhammad Asif Iqbal - Secretary of ICAP KSA Chapter and Director Accounting Standards, SOCPA, who also gave the vote of thanks.
