| Dinesh Sereno | Student | Chennai/Tamilnadu | - CA are already the only signatory authority. So CMAs should be tax auditors. Infact our country has a large population and business with jobs meant for as many and should have equal opportunity, the ones who are passed the exam only can anyway do so. So include cma. - AI and machine learning will soon pick up data (patterns) and be capable for doing all steps on its own. It's time to build a stronger community of auditors ca + cma. - companies are becoming trillion dollar companies and using apps and AI to dominate customer base worldwide. Small companies are functioning under the umbrella of the big e-commerce gaints. Pricing and strategies are skewed. We need cmas in audit with power to regulate things to the interest of the country's development - |
