I have cleared my PCC exam & completed my artilces and I will be appearing in CA Final Nov, 2012. Whether I am eligible to get the Accounting Technician Certificate?
A candidate may opt exclusively for Accounting Technician Course. A candidate who does not wish to complete erstwhile Intermediate/PE-II/PCC/IPCC can also opt for the Accounting Technician Course. Such a candidate has to undergo a study course of nine months, 35 hours Orientation Programme and 100 hours ITT before appearing in Accounting Technician Examination (ATE). It is to be noted that Group I of IPCC is quivalent to ATC. After passing Accounting Technician Examination (ATE), he will also be required to complete 12 months of work experience, as per the guidelines of the Council and on production of a certificate to this effect, he will be issued Accounting Technician Certificate.
