Our Objectives
Though there are thousands and thousands of Commerce graduate and Post Graduates in Kerala and even though they hunt every where for jobs, there is an acute shortage for and a high demand for practical Accountants, who know sales-tax accounting and practical office procedure. Uneducated, Unqualified, ignoramus and quacks still rule the field. They are really parasites, who prey on both the officials and the businessmen. By pretending as the businessman’s saviour they overcharge the businessmen and collect huge amounts for their service. By pretending faithfulness to the officers, they divulge in secret exaggerated accounts of the businessmen’s volume of business and their mode of operation. They do this double-edged cheating to hide their ignorance of sales tax rules and practices, and win the undue favor of the officials. They are really double-edged swords that cut both officials and businessmen. Our objective is to purge the tax field from such ignoble middlemen who have neither the quality and the qualification nor the deservedness to be a tax practitioner or an accountant.
Our main objective is to equip the tax field with noble, qualified, competent tax practitioners and sales tax accountants. Several fair-minded officials and businessmen expressed us this dire need and so we have risen to the occasion. Ours is a concerted attempt to equip the field with competent and qualified men and to develop fair prices in the education sector.
