Accounting Profession, around the world, has greatly changed after hi-profile corporate scandals in USA. Independent auditors’ assurance to stakeholders on financial statements was found inadequate. Corporate Management (CEO & CFO) have been given additional responsibility of reporting to stakeholders and bringing in quality in financial accounting/ reporting through internal control systems. Consequently accounting paradigm has been shifted to new heights, stimulating the need for additional skills, improved professional standards and ethical values to professional accountants.
