| Introduction | Jayaraman is a Chartered Accountant from ICAI, New Delhi (1966) who has a unique insight into major changes in accounting in India’s history. This book is the outcome of several years of practical knowledge beginning Cost Audit System of Govt. of India. In 1972 as Forestry Operations Accountant for Wimco, Jayaraman acquired an in-depth knowledge of forest terrains and instituted a system called Likely Ultimate Cost that necessitated estimating cost constantly a year ahead. During his stay at WIMCO, as per the case study detailed in the book, Jayaraman was called upon to play whistle-blower to corrupt practices. He says “An Accountant is the trustee of the public wherever one is employed. An Accountant undertakes social responsibility quietly fighting for justice where ‘matsyanyaya’ is prevalent. Matsya means fish and nyaya justice, where the big fish swallows the small one.” His joining the Wellcome Foundation, UK later remains possibly the only HR case study when he was appointed to a company despite a written negative reference from the previous employer specifically imploring the new employer not to appoint him. |
