04 April 2012 There is no CFA(INDIA), it is now called as MIFA. CFA (US) is useful from the perspective of investment analysis. ICWA has a totally different focus.

It depends on your choice of career. If you want to make career in the world of investments, you should go for CFA (USA) program.

05 April 2012 Yes, there is a difference between costing and finance profiles. You will get costing profile in most of manufacturing and some service based companies. Finance focuses more on reporting, treasury, financial management aspects.

ICWA will help you only if you are considering Costing or Management Accounting Profile in any organisation.

I would like to introduce to a globally recognised course CIMA. It has a perfect blend of management accounting, financial analysis and strategic planning. Since you already have a professional degree (MBA), it will help you to boost your career. Plus this qualification is well recognised by global employers. You need not to stick to a particular profile (Costing or Finance) after attaining this qualification.
