We are all aware that the Inst. of Cost & Works Accountant of India ( ICWAI ) is the certifying authority for certifying a Cost & Works' Accountant. Most of my friends' who are pursuing CWA ( as it should be known ) & many of the members' of the Inst. ( You can check their website for practicing Cost Accountants' ) call themselves as ICWA's... Many of my friends' although aware that the alphabet " I " would mean "Institute", still go with the flow 'coz, " That's the general lingo "... But some where down the line we aren't correcting those who make the mistake, including the general public... This according to me is awrong representation of one's qualification. It's like calling a CA, ICA or calling a CS, ICS... Don't you think so' ?
I would like to know your views' on the same...
