Changing Role of
an Accountant in WTO era.
New Delhi: The Secretary, Department of Company Affairs,
Vinod Dhall has said that Chartered Accountants should adjust
themselves to the ever-changing profile of the Corporate Sector
under the WTO regimen, which provides for corporate governance,
social responsibility and it was in this context that the role
of Chartered Accountants assumed importance. Delivering valedictory
address on conclusion of two-day Regional Conference of Chartered
Accountants under the auspices of the Northern India Regional
Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India on
Accounting Profession – The Path Ahead, here today, Shri
Dhall pointed out certain areas of concern under WTO and sought
the cooperation of Chartered Accountants in assisting the Government
to face the upfront challenges of emerging globalisation.
Dhall lashed out at Chartered Accountants in the area
of corporate governance, generation of employment, compliance
of laws and profitability of Indian corporates stating that the
profession of accountancy could not escape responsibility in
this regard. He cited the cases of large number of vanishing
companies, non-banking financial companies and plantation companies
which have defrauded a large number of investors of their hard-earned
savings. Chartered Accountants could not escape responsibilities
in such matters.
Talking of the importance of the profession of Chartered
Accountants and the role of the Institute of Chartered Accountants
of India, Dhall said that Department of Company Affairs often
sought its advice in the management of Government finances. He
complimented the profession and asked them to rise to the occasion
in meetings the challenges of emerging globalization of Indian
economy and integration of economic and services sectors.

HEALTH CAMPS TO BE HELD IN REMOTE AREAS
The Minister for Health
and Family Welfare, Dr. C.P. Thakur, said that large hospitals
should offer multi-disciplinary approach to address the needs
of the adolescents. Inaugurating a Conference on Adolescent
Health here today, he said that specially designed clinical
services giving adequate attention to issues like privacy, particularly
of importance to adolescents should be devised. This would not
require much additional resources. What was required was sensitivity
towards the issue and reorganisation of clinical services in
health facilities. Such a clinic was started in Safdarjung Hospital.
This pilot study, which would be carried out for two years, would
demonstrate the feasibility of such an approach, he added.
The conference
was organised by the Department of Paediatrics, Hindu Rao Hospital,
Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Dr. Thakur said that the
Government would organise adolescent health camps at regular
intervals in remote and far flung areas. These camps would provide
not only basic reproductive health services but also counseling,
nutritional advice, rehabilitative services and elements like
life skills developments, vocational guidance. Services of NGOs
would also be enlisted for the programme, he added.(keralamonitor.com)
