N Srinivasan, a former senior partner with the Chartered Accountancy firm, Fraser & Ross, passed away today. He was 91. 

A giant of a chartered accountant, Srinivasan was the Chairman of the Southern India Regional Council (SIRC) of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, (ICAI) in 1969-70 and member of the council for two terms, in 1967-70 and 1970-73.
