I completed Articleship on 21st Nov 2007. Took total of 191 days leave during the three years of articleship. In the meanwhile I had accumulated credit leave of 30 days during the articleship period itself and the balance was agreed to be served by me during the month of December 2007. My boss is agreeable to sign the Form 108 showing 138 days as leave taken (thus resulting in no excess leave) and we want to avoid the prospect of sending Form 107 (Supplementary Articles). I checked with my other CA friends who had completed their articles and they informed me that they had followed the same procedure in their cases too. Just want to check with the Experts as to whether this arrangement can be done so as to avoid the documentation and hassle of Form 107 and then Form 108 after the completion of Excess leave service.Please help soon.

Thanks a lot for your kind response Sir,
As you said earlier that a CA without any basic degree cannot get Masters degree,then what are the other best options available aparting from Distance education to pursue higher education.
It was only my sheer devotion to the course & respect for the knowledge ICAI imparts made me to leave my Degree Final year.Now am bit disappointed that I cannot be a Post Graduate.Can a CA without any degree do Masters course from ICFAI,also kindly advice how much of points(bacculards)are generally alloted to a CA (without a basic degree) to pursue CPA in USA
Kindly advice

Sir,
How a final student becomes a member CA after the completion of Final exams and GMCS

a) if there is a provision that this time only 300(suppose) can be qualified as CA; then the students in the top 300 in ranks will only become CA; rest have to give final next time(even though they have secured marks more than pass marks)
b) Or, those who clear the final exams and gmcs can apply for membership.

THANKS ALOT for ur concern. I will be taking up ajob in future as a CA. LLB & MBL are on the whole good for those who want to work as CS ( I THINK SO). i thought of pursuing an international course as i think in todays time an international degree is of worth.I thout abt CPA but then again goin to USA not possible for me...so please suggest me something which will actually compliment my CA.

i have registered for the cpt of ICAI on 30-11-2007 when i can apply for the test ?
what is the date of issue examination form and submitted the same?

2nd group this november(i cleared my 1st group in may.07) my CA FINAL will be due after 2 and 1/2 yrs. by the time i want to pursue a course not a long term course but of a duration of 2 yrs or less. so please suggest me a course as in future i want to work as a CA.

I am a chartered accountant and currently working in an MNC.

I applied for full time COP immediately after completing CA final.

But i was not able to cope up with high corruption in my place.

So i quit practicing and joined an mnc.

One of my friend informed me that COP need not be surrendered.

Is it so?

A practicing CA is required to comply with certain requirements such as minimum of 20 hours training.

Am i required to comply with such training?

What are the options available for me?
