On November 13th 2019, 66 delegates from across the world travelled to Mumbai to attend INAA’s AGM event.
Mumbai, India’s 2nd largest city and largest financial centre, provided the perfect backdrop to our stimulating conference. Surrounded by vibrant culture, history and plenty of fascinating sites, our time in Mumbai excited the mind, spirit and body.
More than half of our AGM guests attended the hour yoga session on Friday morning, offering a fascinating glimpse into India’s spirituality. Guests also had the opportunity to taste authentic India cuisine, full of spices and flavour, and watch an exquisite Bollywood show at the Gala.

Highlights From Day 2
We kicked off the day with a refreshing yoga session before diving into a presentation and discussion on the Role of Management auditors: Journey from Backroom to Boardroom with Nandita Parekh (Partner, CNK & associates).
