BW Businessworld, India's leading business magazine releases its latest issue, focusing on the critical role of chartered accountants (CAs) and financial leaders in propelling India towards its ambitious goal of becoming a USD 10 trillion economy.

The issue highlights how CAs are evolving beyond their traditional roles as financial custodians to become strategic advisors and key contributors to public policy, guiding businesses through an increasingly complex regulatory landscape and contributing to policies that foster economic stability and growth.

Exclusive Insights
The edition features an exclusive interview with Sethurathnam Ravi, Founder of Ravirajan & Co. LLP and former BSE Chairman, providing invaluable insights into how CAs are not just financial experts but also emerging as influential leaders at the heart of India's economy. The interview underscores the indispensable role of chartered accountants in maintaining transparency and regulatory compliance in businesses, thereby safeguarding the integrity of India's financial system.

The issue also features insights from top industry leaders like Yezdi Nagporewalla, CEO of KPMG India and Romal Shetty, CEO of Deloitte India, who emphasise the strength of the India growth story. These leaders are at the forefront of investments that are propelling India’s economic expansion and are vocal advocates for aligning Indian financial practices with global standards.

Navigating Regulatory Challenges
A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to exploring the challenges faced by CAs in keeping pace with rapidly evolving regulations, particularly in the wake of GST implementation. It highlights the critical need for continuous learning and adaptation in the face of these changes.

Furthermore, the edition examines the government's efforts to empower domestic CA firms, particularly through initiatives like amendments to the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Act. These initiatives are aimed at elevating local firms to the stature of global audit giants, a move seen as essential for bolstering India's economic resilience and ensuring our financial practices meet international benchmarks.
