| Santosh Sarkar | Student | West Bengal | The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) should be recognized at the national level in areas like Audit, Taxation, and other financial domains, just like Chartered Accountants (CA). Cost and Management Accountants (CMAs) play a crucial role in cost audit, internal audit, GST, direct and indirect taxation, and financial management. However, in many cases, regulatory recognition for CMAs is either limited or not at par with CAs. Ensuring equal recognition in audit and taxation-related areas would strengthen the profession and create more opportunities for CMAs. |
