Chartered Accountants are on a brand building drive. As a part of the effort, The Institute of Chartered Accountants have allowed qualified Chartered Accountants to prefix ‘CA’ to the name in order to distinguish them from other professionals. This is intended to develop a certain image of the chartered accountant in the mind of the general public.
“The use of the term CA is a move towards prefessional recognition of our members. One recognises doctors through the letter DR before their name and there will be a similar thing for a CA. The use of such a prefix is already effective”, says Kamlesh Vikamsey, President, ICAI.
According to Mr Vikamsey, the central council of the institue has already passed this change and hence Chartered Accountants can implement it. So freinds, i guess this is a welcome gesture from the institute and we all should be glad about it.
I request all the fellow chartered accountants to post their comments on this movement of the Institute.
