He said “This is a major boost to the members of the institute who serve in various countries across the world and were facing discrimination due to their earlier designation AICWA- Associate Member of the Institute of Cost and Work Accountants of India and FICWA- Fellow Member of Institute of Cost and Work Accountants of India ”.
