CMII is one of the non-standing committees of ICAI and has emerged as a proactive and forward looking committee towards the cause and development of the members in Industry as well as aspirants to corporate India in the new world of business. CMII has been striving hard to project and recognize chartered accountants beyond their traditional roles. In its endeavor to serve the chartered accountants in the industry, CMII has taken various initiatives like providing placement opportunities to the young and experienced chartered accountants through Campus Placement Programmes & Job Portals; organizing knowledge enriching conferences, Industry Meets, General Publications, Live Webcasts, CPE Study Circles etc. to name a few. We are also extending our arms by reaching out to our members through ICAI-Reconnect, Outreach Programmes, Mentorship Programme, eNewsletters, State Task Forces and other various initiatives like this, to be aware of the concerns of our members and to extend our support.
Today is the time of globalization and open economics and we are dealing and trading with countries all over the world. Now that each and every sector of our country has grown leaps and bounds in the last six decades, accordingly the role of a Chartered Accountant has also grown manifold over the years.
The civil service system is the backbone of the administrative machinery of the country. In the parliamentary democracy of India, the ultimate responsibility for running the administration rests with the elected representatives of the people which are the ministers. But the handful of ministers cannot be expected to deal personally with the manifold problems of modern administration. Thus the ministers lay down the policy and it is for the civil servants to carry out this policy. The executive decisions are implemented by the Indian civil servants. The members of the civil services represent as administrators in the central government and state government; emissaries in the foreign missions/embassies; as tax collectors and revenue commissioners; as civil service commissioned police officers; as permanent representatives and employees in the United Nations and its agencies and as Chairman, Managing Director, full-time functional Director/Member of the Board of Management of various Public Sector Undertakings/ Enterprises, Corporations, Banks and financial institutions.
Chartered Accountants in Civil Services can be of great advantage as CA is an industry ready professional, exposed to extensive Business ambience. As CAs deal with many government departments like sales tax, income tax, excise department during articleship, they know how to get the work done. Hard Work, determination and Skills are imperative attributes already prerequisite to a CA, so CAs have the right mind set to face the challenges a civil servant often deals with while disbursing his duties. CAs can bring permanent positive changes in the Country by joining Civil Services.
