      Set up in 1949, the ICAI has grown to be the second largest accounting body in the world with around 3.65 lakh CAs and 44 overseas chapters.ICAI president Debasis Mitra said,"As an educator; the focus of the institution is to prepare global professionals.So in that direction,we developed a new course curriculum with a lot of stress on the application of mind, technology, ethics,the new NEP.The curriculum is pending approval of the government of India."

   On the curriculum,Mitra said,"if you don't learn technology,you are not going to go very far ahead.What is happening globally is something we cannot remain out of it.And accounting if you keep it within the boundaries of the ICAI,then we are not doing justice to accounting.Accounting should not only be opened up to the whole of the country by way of uniformity and the same accounting should be there for the world.

    "So the focus is on technology to make our professionals global professionals.He should not be just an Indian Accountant,the global best practices must be embedded in the curriculum.We cannot turn a blind eye to NEP 2020 which says to lay more stress on the application of the mind and move away from rote learning."
