When I started my term as President, I was one of the youngest Central Council members, clearly fascinated by this prestigious assignment. Being a practicing cost accountant and a former Vice President of the Institute, I found my involvement in issues with a national impact a most stimulating experience. I certainly changed a lot in the process. And I am very pleased to say that the ICWAI also changed dramatically. Without a doubt, with the recent changes in economic and regulatory environment combined with the recognition by the Government of India, the profession has metamorphosed into a powerful career option for young individuals today.

I am happy to share with you a very significant development regarding the profession. In my last month’s communiqué I had informed you that other issues concerning our profession as recommended by the Expert Group will be implemented shortly. You may be aware that the basic tenet of the recommendations of the Expert Group was maintenance of principle based cost accounting records. The Expert Group had also recommended that instead of individual product/industry based cost accounting records, the Government should adopt principle based uniform cost accounting record rules. I am extremely happy to inform our members that the Central Government has now issued Companies (Cost Accounting Records) Rules 2011 vide notification dated 3rd June 2011.
