Indian Audit Firm can break the Big Four's oligopoly

The Big Four Oligopoly in India An oligopoly is just like a monopoly. Just that instead of a single organization controlling the market, it is a nexus of more than one company. One such oligopoly is the ‘Big Four’. Deloitte, KPMG, Ernst & Young, and PricewaterhouseCoopers- together form the world’s largest professional accounting and consulting network, popularly known as the Big Four. This oligopoly has indirectly controlled an entire process of firm auditing. However, the time seems to come to move towards ending this oligopoly.

Important Keys for Retirement Planning

Whenever I put forward the question as to how planned their retirement is, people hardly come up with an answer. Even those who choose to answer, are not sure whether their petty savings will suffice their ever-expanding needs. A major lot of people in India, who are currently part of the work-force, are highly optimistic that their children will take care of them financially. So planning for their retirement becomes the least of their concerns. But the latest study has come up with a startling fact. It states that only 3 out of every 10 individuals are capable of supporting their old age parents.

The forthcoming of future group?

It was around 2005 that many non-metro cities of India started witnessing the sky-high shopping malls erecting. These places began a new era of the Indian consumption journey. While most people in these cities would crib about the high price the brands would ask, one sector people were most happy with was the retail. Big Bazaar, Central, Brand Factory, Pantaloons, and Indigo Nation are some names that are known to everyone. All these names were once under the conglomerate of the ‘Future Group’. Future Consumer Enterprises Limited, owned by this Future Group, once claimed to shape India’s consumption journey, is now struggling to shape its future.

Can RBI save the Economy?

You might have read a story in your childhood about 2 trees which faced a thunderstorm at the same time. One of them which had a nice built, stayed upright in pride while the other one was a bit flexible and started bending with the wind. The proud tree which was upright looked at the other one and laughed. It said “you’re dancing with the wind. Look at me, I’m strong and the strong wind can’t even move me.” The intensity of the wind increased and increased further. Slowly this tree started feeling the force and losing its balance. The other tree on the other hand kept dancing with the wind and stood its ground. Finally, when the thunderstorm’s intensity reached its peak, the stronger tree got uprooted. While, the flexible tree was still alive. With the relief package declared by RBI, our economy is probably showing the required flexibility to tackle the thunderstorm of Coronavirus.

SIP or Lumpsum Investment: Which is the better option?

SWP and SIP or a bulk payment The investment world is filled with acronyms making it difficult for a commoner to interpret or comprehend it. SIP and SWP are two such acronyms that you might constantly hear when you go in for investing. Especially, when you are about to invest in mutual funds, the one basic question which the broker might ask you is whether it is a lump sum or SIP-based investment. Without knowing the actual meaning and benefits of it most of us might simply choose one falling victim to the advice of brokers or friends. So what exactly are SIP and SWP? Should I go for SIP or a lump sum?

How Annuity Helps to Plan Better Retirement?

As many say, retirement is the start of a new adventure. It is that time of your life where you are relieved of all your responsibilities. But things are never going to be the same while you retire as it is today. Inflation is going to touch new peaks along with your ever-growing needs. So, without a steady flow of income, your new adventure will soon turn to be nothing more than a horror story. In no time you might be forced to return to the workforce once again. I am pretty sure that most of us don’t want to get back to work, rather than enjoying the perks of old age. So what should you do?

Will Coronavirus Lead to a Recession?

Coronavirus has hit the economy hard indeed.Are we entering into a recession post lockdown? There’s a funny Cricket video on YouTube in which a fielder on the boundary puts in an intense dive and slides to save the boundary and also manages to save it but, in his effort takes off the pants (the lower slips off due to the impact of dive and slide). On the one hand, the spectators appreciate the effort but they can not stop laughing when they see the player without pants. Now, imagine the boundary as pandemic and pants as the economy. While the government is doing everything to control the spread of the pandemic, the economy is suffering in parallel.

Financial Emergency- Article 360 of Indian Constitution

The Financial Emergency A country already in an economic slowdown, all activities at halt plagued by fears of the Coronavirus pandemic, the free messaging services of WhatsApp, and the audience that would believe everything it gets on its phone. All this became perfect ingredients for fake news doing rounds on 24th March 2020. The message, also picked by some media houses, said that the Prime Minister Office would impose ‘Financial Emergency’ in the country. Though this information was busted a few hours later, us as citizens need to know what would happen in case the ‘Financial Emergency’ is imposed upon the nation. The provisions would help us understand the implications of what has never been invoked in the independent history of India.

Ketan Parekh Scam: All that you must know

The share market has been a wish-granting factory to many. For others, it is nothing more than just a terrible nightmare.

SEBI, which is the watchdog of the share market, is keenly following the activities of the market in order to protect the investor’s interest. Despite that frauds and scams have become inevitable.

Reasons Behind Stock Market Crash 2020

Market crashed wildly due to Coronavirus. What exactly happened? More than half of the global population doesn’t know how to swim though it is a life skill, according to a report. That’s a problem but there’s more to it. It has been scientifically proven that more than the deep waters, it’s the panic that kills people. Whenever a person gets stuck in water and has no other option but to swim, in most of the cases it so happens that the person starts panicking and assuming that he/she will die. Because of this, the person reduces his chance of survival and dies. This shows how important sentiment could be. Sentiment is one of the most prominent factors that led to the recent stock market crash. Not in the long term, but sentiment does affect the market in the short term. And that extent has been shown in the recent market crash. That sentiment could be compared with the panic that we mentioned earlier.
