History
In a bid to regulate the profession of chartered accountancy in India, on this day in 1949, the ICAI was set up by an Act of Parliament. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India is the second-largest professional chartered accountants' body across the globe. ICAI works under Government of India and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. In India, the ICAI is the only body that licenses and regulates financial audits, along with the accounting professions. Along with its 75th anniversary, ICAI also achieved the milestone of being the oldest professional institute in India. A council comprising 40 members manage the body, as per the provisions of the Chartered Accountants Act 1949 and the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988. The chartered accountants elect the thirty-two members of the council and the remaining eight are nominated by the central government.
Significance
