Why People Are Against Accounting Outsourcing to India?

I am an Indian and I am living in a globalised environment. I start my day with a tooth paste and brush the brands of which were established either in USA or European countries. The brands of shirts and trousers we wear, the cars most of the Indians drive, brands of televisions we watch, the music systems we listen to, the movies we watch, the provisions we buy from malls, the coca cola or Pepsi I drink with my friends almost everyday, an occasional dinner I will have at KFC, (these examples are only a few) and nearly 50% of the money we, the Indians, spent have been going to either USA or European countries for their products or services.

Indians living in India open their bank accounts in the Bank of America or Standard Chartered or some other bank. AIG and other insurance companies insure the lives of Indian people.
We live in an intensely interdependent world in which all the earth's people with their immense differences of culture and historical experience are compressed together in instant communication. We accept this phenomenon as globalization or the free trade between countries.

I still can’t understand why some people are against outsourcing to India. When India is a good market for their products and services, why can’t, some of the services be outsourced to India when they are providing them at lower cost. Why can’t a win-win situation be applied here?

I am an online bookkeeper having expertise in QuickBooks, Peachtree, MS accounting soft wares. When I contact some of my bookkeeping colleagues from USA or EU, they will complain like this,” People from Indian call centers call us and tell us that they are calling from Melbourne or Sydney or California”. There is a perception that Indians are hardworking, professional but dishonest. This perception is wrong. People from call center tell lies because the call center head who earn a fat check and who lives in USA tell them to do so. So, one can’t rule out that Indians are dishonest or they lack integrity.

In its 5000 years of written history India never invaded another country. It got Independence from British Colonialism not by force or war but through non-violence preached by Mahatma Gandhi. From the day it got independence from the British, its democracy never failed. It is the cradle of world religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. It has followers of all religions including Christianity and Islam.

In today’s competitive world scenario ‘work gets done where it can be done most efficiently and effectively’. Indian Online Bookkeepers take away the routine work, and lets you focus on more strategic work like customer relations, and other creative accounting work like tax shielding. Now with the advent of SME accounting outsourcing, you have the same advantages as of Fortune 500 companies.
