First, have a clear cut discussion with your principal. The discussion should be very professional way and mind you you are dealing with professionals. You'll be in this world tomorrow also and hence a healthy discussion would be of great help. Put forward your point, concerns in a very professional way. And LISTEN to your principal carefully and try to understand his point of view. Do not agrue. In this political world you have to be politically correct always. Have a matured and constructive discussion and put your point forward citing your preferences or interests. After doing all the above honestly if you feel that you are still in the soup, then knock the door of ICAI. That should be the last option. Also ensure you have all the relevant details and documents handy when you approach ICAI. Good Luck
