“You will help us in maintaining high
standards of public behaviour by your
frank and candid accounting and auditing.
It is therefore essential that you maintain
high standards...Whatever profession you
might follow, you should not forget that
every one is an artist in his own line,
whether it is in accounting or auditing,
writing or doing the job of a sculptor or a
painter.”
“The fast increasing tempo of the industrial
and economic development of the country
makes it imperative that every Chartered
Accountant should realise that he belongs
to a profession which provides the first line
of defense to the unwary public against
money grabbers and opportunists. Your
responsibility in this matter becomes all the
greater because of the autonomy, which
your profession enjoys.”
Quotes from distinguished leaders
30. Shri Lal Bahadur
Shastri
Prime Minister of India
1964-66
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam
President of India
2002 - 2007
“I suggest that all the CAs… should take
the following oath… I will not only bring
out the problems of Financial Management
for protecting the interests of the
stakeholders of the enterprises, but also
suggest possible solution with ethics
as a way of life.”
“I cannot conceive what would happen if
there were no accountants and no
auditors. Not only the mute shareholders
in a private company but the industries
and the economy of the country as a
whole would suffer without your help and
adequate guidance.”
Quotes from distinguished leaders
31. Shri Narendra Modi
Prime Minister of India
“Yours is a profession in the society that
has the capacity to save this entire
economy and keep it growing… A
Chartered Accountant’s role should be
such that he knows that he is not working
just to add and subtract these numbers
between 0 to 9, but he should feel that he
is playing an important role in building
the economic infrastructure of this
nation.”
Quotes from distinguished leaders
Ratan Tata
Chairman Emeritus

“I need MBAs to run my business but I
need CAs to teach MBAs how to run the
business.”
