The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) declared the result of CA Intermediate and Foundation courses. Priya is the youngest of three siblings, who went for the highest qualification in accounting. Her eldest sister Krina had completed CA early this year and is working, while her elder sister Deshna is in the CA final.
