Indian Accounting Standard (abbreviated as Ind-AS) in India accounting standards were issued under the supervision and control of Accounting Standards Board (ASB), which was constituted as a body in the year 1977. ASB is a committee under Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) which consists of representatives from government department, academicians, other professional bodies viz. icai, representatives from ASSOCHAM, CII, FICCI, etc.
