24 June 2014 Hello Sir/ Mam

I have completed my CA in August 2013. But recently i have to move to California USA temporary due to my husband short term (1 year or 2 year max) transfer.

I am on dependent visa and also have a year old child. I can't work here but can do study. So to maximum utilize my time i am thinking of some courses like transfer pricing or IFRS or any internationally recognized courses.

Can you please suggest me some courses and corresponding colleges which do have value in India and help me in my career further.

02 August 2025 Hey, congrats on your CA and your move! Let me help you weigh your options for courses that can boost your career back in India, especially in **Transfer Pricing** and **IFRS**, considering you’re in the US on a dependent visa.

### 1. **IFRS Certification**

* **IFRS** is globally recognized, and knowledge of it is a big plus in India’s evolving accounting landscape.
* Some popular internationally recognized IFRS certifications:

* **ACCA Diploma in IFRS** — recognized worldwide and valued in India; KPMG India even runs training on this.
* **AICPA IFRS Certificate (USA)** — offered by the American Institute of CPAs, also globally respected.
* **Is US IFRS course better than Indian ones?**

* IFRS standards are mostly the same worldwide.
* What differs is the **recognition of the certifying body** in India.
* ACCA’s IFRS is very popular and recognized in India.
* AICPA’s IFRS is also good but more US-centric.
* You can study remotely for both.

---

### 2. **Transfer Pricing Certification**

* For Transfer Pricing, some good Indian institutes are:

* **IITF (Indian Institute of Transfer Pricing)**
* **AIDT (Academy of International Domestic Taxes)**
* **IMF (Institute of Management and Finance)**
* These provide certifications that are valued by Indian tax and consulting firms.
* Some of these courses may also offer online or part-time learning options.

---

### 3. **Suggestions for Your Situation**

* Since you can’t work, focus on **online/remote learning**.
* **IFRS Diploma by ACCA** is highly recommended — globally recognized and valued in India.
* For Transfer Pricing, **IITF** is a reputed Indian body, offering focused and practical training.
* You could consider doing **both**, starting with IFRS (to quickly build international accounting skills) and then Transfer Pricing.
