The ICAI has also set up High Power Group to study the issues in PNB matter and suggest remedial measures and improvements in the banking system. The Group has written to various officials of the bank including the Chairman of the Audit Committee and a member to provide relevant information in the matter so as to help the Group to understand the systemic issues.
The progressive measures, being undertaken by the Government in curbing corruption, have always been taken in positive spirit by honest and diligent members of ICAI, and as such the constitution of NFRA, will infact reinforce and reinstate the perception about the dignity and integrity of the noble profession of Chartered Accountancy. However, having said that, the Government must not be selective in its sincere endevours of curbing corruption, and as such the need of the hour is to constitute and create similar regulatory bodies (like NFRA) for Nationalised Banks, Bureaucracy, Political Parties, Taxation Authorities and even Medical, Legal and Companies Secretary Professions. Then only the Government’s Objective of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas, without any Discrimination” will be achieved and accomplished, in true spirit.
