Working in UK will be easier for Indian accountants as the apex accounting body, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, has signed a pact with UK's top accounting body ICAEW to provide mutual recognition.

The ICAI on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW) to provide opportunities to Indian professionals to work in the UK and vice versa.

"This agreement would facilitate mobility of members across the borders and further strengthen the ties between India and Great Britain," ICAI President Ved Jain said here.

Jain added, the two accounting bodies expect to work closely with each other and to collaborate further in the field of research and accounting.
