FM Nirmala Sitharaman asks ICAI to set up 'Big 4'- like Indian firm
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday exhorted the Bihar chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to set up an Indian auditing firm that will grow to feature among the Big Four and seek global clients.
Interacting with the ICAI in Patna, Sitharaman sought a commitment from them to start work on the same as part of their 100-day agenda for Viksit Bharat by 2047.
Urging Bihar to show its leadership skills, the finance minister said that one of the Big Four CA partnerships should come as the outcome of the Bihari mind. “You should establish a CA firm, strong enough to be reckoned as a top four company… What stops us from doing it?”
