MCA-ICAI discuss roadmap for Indian Big4 firms
Previously on 21 May 2024, in an event conducted by ICAI Bihar chapter, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman urged the CAs to establish Indian Audit firms that eventually grows to feature among the Big 4s and seek global clients.
FM expressed her concern to the gathering as to, why that in spite of having large number of high quality CAs in India that are respected all over the world, our CAs become leaders and partners in Big 4 firms instead of forming a Big Four in India.
FM asked the CA fraternity them to commit to this goal as part of their 100-day agenda for Viksit Bharat by 2047.
Quick Recall: It is to be noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address at the Chartered Accountants Day event in July 2017 — called for creating four big Indian accounting firms that are counted among the world’s Big 8.
