Does India have a similar certification that we can/should substitute for a CPA?

In India, there is certification as CA, but it does not cover the Federal and State tax compliance, as mentioned above. So if we are planning to hire someone who has academic knowledge of US compliance, we can keep this certification. There are number of people’s who take CPA certifications in India along with CA.

Left the CPA in.
