ICAI has signed Mutual Recognition Agreements MRA’s with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) and with Certified Practicing Accountants (CPA) Australia so that the Indian CA is recognised in Australia through principles of reciprocity.
The ICAA, with 62,000 members, represents Chartered Accountants in Australia while the CPA in Australia is one of the world’s largest accounting bodies with a membership of more than 150,000 finance, accounting and business professionals in 121 countries across the globe

Way Forward for the Profession Looks Exciting So with all these changes and challenges, the CA profession has a great future. Society is demanding more transparency; financial and non-financial information is considered a social good, not a private matter; companies need someone to provide assurance to increase trust in their financials and the business overall; and regulation and decision-making processes are more complex, so more independent and qualified people will be needed.
The current generation of CAs need to adapt to changes happening globally and the opportunities for the profession looks attractive and exciting
