the highlight of this edition
is surely the interview of Central Council member - Santhanakrishnan
(SK). SK has been as blunt in the interview as he is known to be in
Council. Some key takeaways from SK's interview:
- Deliberately not given committees like Executive, Examination, DC etc.
- Experienced members should be part of Standing Committees...
- Perceptible de-generation in standards in many areas in functioning of ICAI.
-- Distinction of big & small firms wont help the profession..
one should recognize the presence of big MNC firms and accept them.
- ICAI should develop good infrastructure and technical support for SME firms.
- Biggest challenge facing the profession is the perception about profession... we need to have a re-look at the quality...
- Like CSR, we should have Professional Social Responsibility.
- Not informing Council and
Executive Committee about Nagpur deal was a big mistake ( on part of
Jaydeep Shah ) .. but those were procedural irregularities, not
financial. Sensationalising Nagpur issue did not help...it created a
credibility issue.
- NFRA will not be as bad as it is perceived.
- 10 to 15 ordinary members should be invited to every Council meeting as Observers.
- There should be a full time CEO at ICAI... President should not be dealing with clerical activities.
- Methodology of VP election is nonsensical.
