Questions for us
Has my firm identified business goals (2013 and beyond)?
Have we developed long-term strategies for securing our position in the market?
Have we thought about competition? Have we thought about growing compliance
requirements (DTC, IFRS, GST, Companies Act, SAP)?

The Changing Scenario
The Business Environment today is characterized by “Change”.
Economies, Markets, Industries and Companies are being transformed for ever.
Convergence has blurred Industry structures. The definition of competition has changed for
ever.
Its time to re define our strategies

Objectives of Merger Fusion of two or more existing CA firms to:
∞ develop core competencies ∞ to render professional services of a large range ∞ spread over bigger geographical area. To make provision for the growth engine:∞ to enable conversion of small to medium firms ∞ to enable conversion of medium to large firms. Expansion of Client base of the practicing units Enhance the group profitability in long term A merged big entity will always be superior to a network arrangement.

Advantages of Merger As a growth engine Merger of CA firms
enables growing firms in conversion of small firms to medium firms and medium firms to large firms.
Merger provides with the firms a competitive edge to capture opportunities arising out of globalization.
Merger enables consolidation of experience , expertise, manpower, financial and infrastructure resources thereby leading to creation of large firms which are able to deliver one stop shop.
Risk bearing capacity increases.

Advantages of Merger Ability to provide training Investment in technology/infrastructure Promotes specialisation Dependence on large clients reduces Capability to handle assignments of
complexity and dynamics Merger is an alternative for growing firms as
a growth engine Expansion of Client base of the merged firm Enhance the group profitability in long term
3523.12.2012CA Niranjan Joshi
Limitations of Merger
Selection of firm – finding the right fit Lack of vision The merged entity losses its trade name The Merged Entity loses its seniority forever. Lurking fear that the relationship with the
firm pre-merger may not continue to be the same
Reluctance to share Specialization Conservative thinking Difficulty in trusting the other professional’s
competencies
3623.12.2012CA Niranjan Joshi
Future of SME Firms
Limited empanelment based work Limited growth opportunity in statute based
work Increased compliance related work Availability / retention of human talent CPE – New Developments / Updates /
Technology Specialisation Value adds gaining more importance Networking & Merger is must
