AIDAI has started with the ambition of unifying the Auditors scattered across multiple accreditation agencies organizations onto a single platform. This concept is not natural to the Indian Psyche but an attempt is being made by FDPPI and AIDAI to achieve what is not easy to achieve. I hope this time it is different.
