The Fiji Institute of Chartered Accountants (FICA) Council appointed its vice president Wiliki Takiveikata as president for 2024/2025 during a special council meeting following the institute’s annual general meeting on Friday.
Mr Takiveikata is a senior partner with PwC and has been on the FICA council for the past four years and nine months.
When asked on the changes the institute could expect under his leadership, Mr Takiveikata said priority would be given to the concerns raised by FICA members.
“First and foremost, we’re going to look at the needs of our young accountants, our FICA members. And also review the delivery of our services to our members with the emphasis on the use of technology,” he said.
“I suppose we will need to meet first and take stock of where we are at the moment and see what we can do better. There is a lot of collaboration that we have been doing in the past with various organisations and we will continue to do that.
“There has been also a lot more consultations with Government in the last two years and they have been key speakers in the last two congresses. It is a great platform for us to contribute to shaping Government policies and nation building.
Mr Takiveikata takes the reign from BSP chief financial officer Rajeshwar Singh.
Other new appointments include Sharvek Naidu of KPMG as vice president, and Reshma Chand of Basic Industries Pte Ltd as new council member.
