NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today called for creating four big Indian accounting firms that are counted among the world's Big-8 even as he cautioned CAs against misuse of their all-powerful signature.He said the signature of a chartered accountant is more powerful than even that of a prime minister and the government also believes the accounts signed by them. "People talk of the Big 4 accounting firms. "Like the lawyers did during the freedom struggle, I urge the CAs to take the lead in the journey towards India's economic growth," he said. "We will always remember how the community of professionals took a lead during the freedom struggle of India," he added. "The CA community looks after the economic health of the society," he said, while equating their role to that of the doctors.
