The CA Sri Lanka Australia Chapter (the Chapter) hosted its inaugural Chartered Ball at Grand on Princes, Melbourne Australia on 13 May. This glamorous event was attended by 313 guests including over 120 CA Sri Lanka members domiciled in Australia, who experienced a truly memorable night.

CA members in an entertaining atmosphere. And part of the proceeds of the event will be utilised towards a scholarship fund to help disadvantaged CA students in Sri Lanka.

Two past presidents of CA Sri Lanka Mr. Indrajith Fernando and Mr. Yohan Perera also attended the prestigious event.

To add excitement to the night, a raffle draw offered enticing prizes, including two return air tickets to Sri Lanka and complimentary stays at luxury hotels such as Cinnamon and Aitkin Spence.
An event of this magnitude would not have been possible without generous support of our sponsors, advertisers. We wish to thank the lead sponsors Finmart Finance Brokers, Jellis Craig Monash, SriLankan Airlines and other souvenir advertisers for their support towards success of the event.
The Inaugural Chartered Ball would not have come to fruition without the support of the Executive Committee of the Chapter, and commitment and perseverance of the Chartered Ball committee.
With the success of inaugural Chartered Ball, the Chapter endeavor to organise similar events that promote social networking and fellowship among members.
