| Maitri Pithwa | Student | Ahmedabad/ Gujarat | The definition of ICMAI includes the term Accountant. We are equally capable of conducting tax audit. Even in our CMA Inter level and Final level the subject of taxation is incorporated, which in turn is required for tax audit. So we do have knowledge of the same. |

| CMA Vijith P | Member | Kerala | CMA's are fully equipped to conduct Tax Audit Works as our syllabus give very much potential for Direct and Indirect Taxation and also the under Indirect Tax Laws, we CMA's are eligible auditors as per various audit sections. Thus the time has exceeded for inclusion of Cost Accountants in the definition of Accountant under Income Tax Act. | 22 Feb 2025, 10:12 AM |

| Sarath | Member | Chennai | I would like to specify some valid reasons why CMA should be treated as an Accountant. 1.Comprehensive education: Our syllabus covers all taxation aspects, similar to a Chartered Accountant (CA) syllabus. 2.Expertise in tax laws and regulations: we're well-versed in Income Tax and GST Act laws and regulations.Thats the reason we are eligible for GST Audit then why not for Tax audit. 3.The term "Accountant" is already embedded in the title "Cost Accountant".This implies that a Cost Accountant is, by definition, an accountant who specializes in cost accounting. Therefore, the phrase "Cost Accountant" inherently includes the concept of an accountant. 4.Illogical Presentation by CA institute: The CA institute's argument appears to be based on protecting their turf rather than logical, fact-based reasoning.As they don't have any valid reason that's why they are only diverting the topic by saying Tax audit is our forte.Its not a positive sign of a democratic country like India to maintain the monopoly of one profession by eroding the value of another profession. 5.Historical Timing:If Our ACT had been enacted simultaneously with CA then we all would have treated as equal.Due to some time gap they got the status only and it becomes their forte. Conclusions:I Strongly believe that the our country will give equal opportunities to all the professionals as per their efforts and expertise rather based on illogical facts to maintain unfair monopoly of a particular sector, if not Plz Give us a VALID REASON.! |

| Adarsh K P | Member | Kozhikode | Income tax audit can't be a monopoly for CAs. Chartered Accountants institute is not the ultimate authority. My main revenue source is from income tax consulting. Disappointing that cost accountants were not included in the draft. Consider our request for inclusion of Cost Accountants under Accountants definition. |

| Swati Kashyap | Student | Jharkhand | As a student, we are studying the same or even more as compared to Chartered Accounatnts, if paper difficultly is to be analysed then it should be based on current scenario not on past judgements, as papers are set more difficult than CA or equivalent same. Thankyou and please do acknowledge this that we are not equivalent to bcom or MBA finance courses. CMA is a professional degree and it should be recognised and respected in the same manner as CA had been, but sadly it’s not the case. | 22 Feb 2025, 10:04 AM |
