Session 3 This session on The Companies Act, 2013 was conducted by CA Anil Sharma. This was an interactive session regarding the revised provisions of The Companies Act, 2013. Recommendations This enriching workshop organised by the ICAI, clarified the various common issues faced by teachers while teaching the above topics. There was a suggestion made by the teachers to include Commerce as a mainstream subject along with other subjects at the class 9 and 10 levels to give students a broad idea about commerce early. The recommendation, the organisers felt was a valid one and ensured their support for it.
