Alongside Gupta, the ACC has cleared the appointment of the following as Full-Time Members of the NFRA:

Smita Jhingran, Retired IRS (IT: 1986 batch) – A seasoned tax officer with decades of experience in income tax policy, compliance, and enforcement.

P Daniel, Retired IDES (1989 batch) and former Secretary, Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) – Recognized for his integrity and contributions to anti-corruption initiatives in government services.

Sushil Kumar Jaiswal, Retired IA&AS (1993 batch) and former Director General of Audit (Central Receipt) – Brings in vast experience in government auditing and revenue analysis.

Significance of the Appointments

The appointments come at a time when corporate transparency, statutory auditing practices, and financial reporting standards are under heightened scrutiny globally. The NFRA, as the independent regulator overseeing auditing standards and auditors of large public interest entities, plays a crucial role in strengthening investor confidence and financial discipline in India’s economy.

The inclusion of officers from IRS, IA&AS, and IDES backgrounds adds a multidimensional approach to the regulatory body, combining taxation, auditing, governance, and vigilance expertise under one roof.
