Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman asked Chartered Accountants (CAs) to familiarise themselves with global developments such as carbon accounting and environment, social and governance (ESG) related audits to serve their clients better. Negotiating for your clients for transfer of technology, funds and partnerships (will be required). So, unless you are familiar with newer growing areas and understand what are the expectations, you may want to set up newer standards, Sitharaman said. The FTA with the UK, which is being negotiated, will have much for the Indian chartered accountants to benefit from if they can leverage it, the Minister said. (ICE NEW DELHI)
