Sales Tax Practitioners' Assocaition of Maharashtra,
Sales Tax Review Journal.
Subject: Objectionable Statements about CA profession in "Sales Tax Review"
Issue-August, 2007- and June 2007 -Editorial Column
I have read Editorial for August 2007 issue of STPM's . On Pg 3 & 4 it has
been stated that" but the fact remains that majority of audit reports have
been signed by the Chartered Accountants who do not know abcd of sales tax
law. The CAs who do co-operative & bank audits ARE AVAILABLE AT MUCH CHEAPER
RATES." etc.etc.
Further in your editorial for June 2007 issue it has been stated in the last
paragraph that "resultantly the persons who don't have even preliminary
knowledge of sales tax have undertaken this (VAT AUDIT) job."
I raise my strong objection on statement given by Mr Partkar on editorial
page of esteemed Journal of STPM's Sales Tax Review. I urged to the
committiee of STPM to take necessary action to stop such type of remarks &
statements on esteemed CA Profession.

Objectionable Statements about CA profession
Replies (4)
i am sure that there are many CAs who dont know head or tail of VAT/ CST. so dont let ur ego get bruised just because someone somewhere made a remark like that..this is over the top. get over it..let people say what they want..its a known fact that ALL CAs handle black money at some point in their careers, so does that make this profession bad?
Good news. the statement comes regarding hearing going on Bombay High Court regarding inclusion of Sale tax practioners association for Maharashtra VAT audit. Sale Tax practioners association has filled a case in Bombay High court.
recently MVAT has benn ammended. "Cost Accountants" name has been included for MVAT Audit at par CA.
I support u. You are right. Today itself CA is only profession in which , only hard work & knowledge gives the result.
If you have no knowledge regarding any act, that you can't go further in this profession.
Such type of statements regarding our profession should not be published by any editor . If any such statements are published , then proper legal action should be taken against him.
Dear All,
I strongly oppose such remarks in any editorial by any one saying himself/herself professional. I agree there are always two sides of one coins, but that is true with every profession. All the doctors, advocates, chartered accountants and cost accountants are not with same calliber. That is why no body forces you in Indian Law to appoint them for you. If any one who does not know abcd is doing a work, this is possible because he has been wrongly appointed for a job. Further you have a choice to go for complaint against the concerned member in the ICAI, if reporting is wrong for any professional misconduct. But for such reasons alleging the profession is very insulting.
Further i would like to assure here that the ICAI has the strongest disciplinary commitee in India to take actions against any professional misconduct.
Hope everyone here being professional will understand my views and ICAI will take the necessary legal actions against such remarks.
