31 August 2010 Dear members,

I understand that there is no age bar and that age should not come into the way of learning. I have a strong urge to do chartered accountancy. However, when it comes to article ship is a full time work. Since I am already in full time employment, will articleship be feasible ??

The reason I want to do CA is that suddenly i am surrounded by people who speak 'finance', have the knowledge,qualifications (CA),use Jargons, terminologies and its very intimidating. I am in the social development sector, I now realize that TOTAL knowledge of finance is crucial to our sector as well. No doubt so many qialified professionals (CAs) have entered the social development sector.

I have done B.Com (Honours) majoring in costing and corporate law , and an MBA in Marketing.

I feel that doing MBA finance is certainly nowhere compared to being a chartered accountant.

I seek esteemed members' advice.

Thanks,

Sam

31 August 2010 why not ICWA. think twice, keeping in view your age, expertise and background.

31 August 2010 Your concern regarding 3.5 year articleship is correct…and it is indeed a decisive factor. But as per my suggestion do not take any decision based on other persons, their work, the terminology they are using bcoz you are not less than anyone in your field. In short don’t go for CA to show others.

However if are really interested in CA for your own benefit and career then don’t think too much and go for it.

All the Best

07 September 2010 agreed with Ravi and continuing, after ICWA too, you will be able to understand all financial discussion as a large number of ICWA become finance head of their respected companies.
