It has occupied a prominent role in the country’s economy and society. Only few years back there were very few numbers of Chartered Accountants in Nepal. Most of the people were unaware of Chartered Accountancy Profession and its importance. Statutory recognition is given to the CA and their audit/certification is insisted upon for various purposes. Gradually, people are becoming more aware and interested in it.

No wonder that the Chartered Accountancy is a high status profession and a passport to challenging and rewarding career in industry and commerce. Chartered Accountants are increasingly becoming an inseparable part of the top management level in all organizations whether they are public, private or government. Chartered Accountants can also set up an independent practice for Accounting, Auditing, and Consultancy services. The society has increasingly recognized the services of Chartered Accountants in entire array of management consultancy including management accounting, management information and control systems, information technology and financial service sector.  Accordingly the demand for Chartered Accountants is growing higher.
