The alliance has been forged with the view of strengthening Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) education in the domain.

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Hersh Shah, CEO, India Affiliate, Institute of Risk Management, said: “A Chartered Accountant is responsible for certifying the true and fair view of the business, making it vital that they incorporate ERM into their professional mindset. In the current scenario, their opinion on the organisation’s risk framework and culture in the face of an uncertain and volatile economy, will provide additional assurance on the “going concern” of the organisation. In addition, CAs must be cognizant of emerging risks, such as environmental, cybersecurity, geopolitical and reputational risks, and be able to assess the financial impact of these risks on the organisations balance sheet. Our partnership with BCAS, a national thought leader in the domain of chartered accountancy, is intended to ensure that aspiring accountants receive professional enterprise risk education that equips them with expertise in the principles and current practices in the risk domain, and help them apply the learnings and global knowledge in their current audit and tax services as well as in setting up their own risk consulting practice.”
Discussing the partnership, Abhay Mehta, President, Bombay Chartered Accountants’ Society, added: “In recent years, we have observed that the role of a CA has evolved beyond being a mere auditor or accountant. Today, they are also expected to guide robust organisational growth, by helping their company stay agile and responsive to rapidly-changing business dynamics. Hence, risk assessment and management is viewed as a key skill for CAs, irrespective of the industry they are employed in.
