Highlighting the crisis of climate change, Murmu said, “Sustainability is no longer a slogan, it has become a necessity”.
She also said the time is over for corporate organisations to act solely with the objective of earning profits, and now they have to keep the environmental costs in mind.
“This is where you (cost accountants) with your skills can bring a great change in the future of the planet,” Murmu said, adding that accounting and accountability are deeply connected.
At the function, Corporate Affairs Secretary Deepti Gaur Mukerjee urged cost and management accountants to embrace technology, innovation, and agility.
Cost and management accountants have a key role in the country’s journey to become a USD 30-trillion economy, she added. PTI RAM TRB
