“I urge all my overseas colleagues to spread words about this in their respective corporate, firm of accountants, etc., and among other potential employers, requesting them to participate in this special drive to recruit our fresh as well as experienced members. You may also participate in the HR meet, to be organised by ICAI in your country, for which the dates will be announced soon,” said ICAI President.

He said that interviews will be held in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai in person, wherein the corporate may participate. Interviews will also be held through video conference on these days for the candidates based in Jaipur, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. The separate announcement in this regard will be published on the ICAI website shortly.

“In order to overcome the language barriers and increase the employability of Indian CAs abroad, ICAI is taking initiatives to tie-up with universities/institutions approved by the foreign embassy abroad. To start with, ICAI is in dialogue with the relevant authorities with regard to French, Spanish and German languages,” he added.
