Bhubaneswar: Today, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman addressed the gathering at the National CA Conference-2023 in Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
In this conference, she said that there are newer areas with which Chartered Accountants will have to familiarise themselves, especially given global developments, to better advise clients on new greenfield areas. Whether it’s carbon accounting, CSR accounting & auditing, or ESG reporting (ESG- Environmental, Social, and Governance).
FM Sitharaman said that Digitisation aids in promoting financial literacy. ICAI has 168 branches, 5 regional councils, and a presence across 17,000 of the 19,100 postal codes in the country. For financial literacy and the course content provided to students nationwide, ICAI is
well-positioned to leverage digital access more effectively.
She also said that the Govt is actively ensuring that India’s Chartered Accountants become global leaders and engage with counterparts from other countries, thus enabling the sharing of the best possible knowledge.
