CA of ICAI and CS of ICSI are the two premier bodies in India formed under a seperate enactment of parliment called Chartered Accountants Act and the Company Secretaries Act. Right now the MBA degree is under the UGC Act. If for an MBA if we able to pass seperate enactment, you can have a seperate body for that otherwise it will be an univercity degree. CAs have to get expert knowledge in commerce, commerce consists of innumarable number of subject, I am unable to define the term commerce in terms of number of subjects. It is not enough for them to have knowledge in any one subject, it is very essential to have vide knowledge of commerce innorder to discharge their duty of conducting financial audit. Audit means verification/vouching of each and every transaction reflecting in the finacial and other legal matters of an enterprise. We have thousands of laws and enactmsnts prevailing in India. It is the auditors duty to report any deviations from the complience of any law prevailing in India and reporting the deviations from government policy, management policy or any policy formulated by any regulating authority. Apart from auditing, CAs are involved in Financial reporting, Taxation and Corporate laws, Internal audit and controle, Corporate restructuring, Mergers and aquisitions, Foreign exchange and tresury management, ERP implimentation, System audit, Valuation, Arbitration, Insurance and Risk Management, Srategic Management, Knowledge Management, Management consultancy and services and much more.

I absolutely agree upon the argument. here it is not wiser to make the comparison of CA or CS with MBA. Both this areas are having there own value towards upliftment of the particular organizaiton. MBA has got insights from all the fields and can be an umbrella to various roles of the organization. But CA or CS is company requirement regulated under Government.

MBA teaches how to manage an organisation. This may be a requirement in every sector. Whereas Charter accountants are specifically designed for accounting jobs. Giving a recognition to CAs will let them an identification in which field they are working but giving the save stage to MBA degree will confuse others which sector he belongs to since it may be fitted in any field. Its just the knowledge of management. So I don't think there is any necessity of giving MBA a separate identification...
