Garuda is the mascot of the chartered accountancy profession in India. The ICAI emblem has Garüda in the centre and a quotation from the Kathopanishad.
The reason for this choice of Garüda, which was suggested by Shri Aurobindo to ICAI in 1949, in the ICAI Emblem lies in a strong symbolic resemblance in qualities of a Garüda and chartered accountants, which are:
Powerful Vision: Garuda has powerful and sharp vision-chartered accountants are vigilant and have an eye for detail; knowledge coupled with vision is the forte of true professionals.
Leadership abilities: Garüda is also tenacious while accepting challenges like chartered accountants, who scale newer heights using their leadership qualities.
Wisdom: Garüda, standing for wisdom, are change thinkers and change makers like chartered accountants, who are also equipped with the power of knowledge and capable of thinking out of box.
High Flier: Garüda flies high and aims high. Similarly, being perfectionists, chartered accountants continue to excel professionally and socially too.
Chartered accountants are committed and competent to give assurance to all their stakeholders. Hence, CA also stands for commitment and assurance.
