New Delhi, July 1: Proclaiming the responsibility towards the fast increasing tempo of the industrial and economic development in the country, Chartered Accountancy as a profession realises that it belongs to the first line of defence to the unwary public against money grabbers and opportunists.
Celebrating 72 years of its dignity and proficiency, the CA community (online this time) all over the nation is up hailing its existence recommending a mix of great aim, knowledge, hard work and perseverance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi while wishing a merry day to all the Chartered Accountants said, “Our industrious CA community has a major role to play in ensuring a healthy and transparent economy. Their services to the nation are deeply valued. Greetings on Chartered Accountants Day”.
“The seven decade old journey of ICAI has been glorious one. CAs have been shouldering the onerous responsibility of keeping the financial systems of the nation in good health. They have earned laurels across the world for their dexterity in financial skills”, he added.
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement Hon'ble Shri @narendramodi ji. ICAI pledges to assist in whatever way we can to help the Nation and its economy achieve a high growth trajectory and India scales new heights under your able leadership. #CharteredAccountantsDay #CADAY https://t.co/WrTAtN6M0x

Honouring the long fulfilling journey of excellence, at the turn of the seventh decade ICAI president CA Atul Kumar Gupta recalled the words of the first President G. P. Kapadia, “In discharging the duties and performing various functions, the paramount consideration which should weigh with the members of the profession is that the CAs are not merely performing particular duties to earn emoluments, but that they have to discharge a wider function and their obligation-a moral one-is to function in such a way that they are above suspicion and, as members of the learned and an honourable profession, they provide service to the community being accountable to the authorities and also to the legislature of the country which has bestowed autonomy on the profession.”
Starting with a few hundred members in 1949, ICAI today has about 3 lakh members. With its 5 Regional Councils and 164 Branches spread across the nation and 34 overseas Chapters across the globe, the members strongly contribute to both national and global economy and this indeed forms the base of celebration.
