| Vipul Mundhra | Member | Surat | Cost Accountants (CMAs) should be recognized as accountants under the new Income Tax Bill due to their expertise in financial management, taxation, and accounting. Our qualifications enable us to handle complex tax matters, financial reporting, and auditing, ensuring better services and promoting competition. CMAs play a critical role in areas like inventory valuation, GST audits, internal audits, and banking audits, helping ensure tax compliance and financial integrity. Their inclusion in the Income Tax Act 2025 would provide an additional layer of oversight, preventing fraud and tax evasion, and ensuring a more accurate financial system. This recognition supports India’s vision of becoming a "Viksit Bharat" (Developed India) by 2047. As CMAs are already recognized in GST audits, our inclusion in Income Tax audits will foster transparency, accuracy, and global trust in India’s tax system, encouraging tax compliance and contributing to the country’s economic growth. | 19 Feb 2025, 05:03 PM |

| Avneesh Malik | Member | Muzaffarnagar | Increasing the scope of accountants in India for tax audits and company audits is necessary for several reasons: 1. Growing Economy and Compliance Needs India’s economy is expanding, leading to an increase in businesses, startups, and multinational corporations. More businesses mean higher demand for audits to ensure compliance with tax laws, the Companies Act, and financial regulations. 2. Changing Tax Landscape The introduction of GST, evolving Income Tax rules, and frequent amendments require skilled accountants to interpret and implement tax policies effectively. More professionals are needed to assist businesses in navigating tax assessments, appeals, and litigation. 3. Reducing Burden on Chartered Accountants (CAs) Currently, tax audits and company audits are primarily conducted by CAs, leading to workload concentration. Expanding the role of other qualified accountants (Cost Accountants, Management Accountants, etc.) can distribute the workload efficiently. 4. Enhancing Transparency and Financial Discipline More auditors mean better financial oversight, reducing fraud, tax evasion, and misreporting. This strengthens corporate governance and investor confidence. 5. Encouraging Ease of Doing Business Faster and more accessible audits can help businesses comply smoothly with regulations. This can attract more foreign investments and boost business growth. 6. Technology and Digitalization With the rise of AI, blockchain, and digital audits, accountants must expand their roles to include forensic accounting, cybersecurity audits, and data analytics. A wider scope ensures that businesses stay ahead in financial technology adoption. 7. Globalization and Cross-Border Compliance Many Indian companies now operate globally and must comply with international accounting and tax standards. A broader pool of accountants can assist with IFRS, GAAP, and other global reporting requirements. By increasing the scope of accountants in tax and company audits, India can ensure better compliance, reduce fraud, and support business growth in a rapidly evolving financial landscape. |
