Who was First Indian Woman Accountant ?

For the Indian students of accounting , it is very interesting to know who was the first Indian Woman Accountant . I also did not know this question but today ( 18/10/2009 ) When I opened Wikipedia's Indian Accountant Category . I found the profile of R. Sivabhogam . After reading it , I can tell you , who was The First Indian Woman Accountant ?


R Sivabhogam was the first woman accountant in India. She worked as Accountant from 1933 to 1954 and after this she became Chairperson of Southern India Regional Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India for three consecutive terms from 1955 to 1958 . She was also a senate member of the University of Madras.

One more interesting after getting status and reputation , She never left Gandhian principles and wore Khadi till her death in June 1966.
