11 February 2013 i have cleared my intermediate level of CA and am a final yr b.com student.
i want to start another course.
please suggest me one that would be in the best combination with CA.

11 February 2013 Hi

I think, you will take registration in article ship. At the time of article ship, you can not do any course with out the approval of Institute, unless it is correspondence course.


You, can do CS/CWA/CFA with CA.

13 February 2013 i have taken registration in articleship. i just want to know which one is better CS or CWA or CFA?..

03 August 2025 Since you’ve cleared CA Intermediate and are in final year B.Com, and you want to start another course along with your articleship, here’s a quick comparison of CS, CWA, and CFA to help you decide:

CS (Company Secretary)
Focus: Company law, corporate governance, secretarial practice, compliance.

Ideal if you want expertise in legal and regulatory frameworks and want to work closely with company boards.

Good for roles in compliance, secretarial departments, corporate advisory.

CWA (Cost and Works Accountant)
Focus: Cost accounting, management accounting, budgeting, financial management.

Suitable if you want to strengthen your skills in cost control, internal financial management, and manufacturing/operations sectors.

Good complement if you like costing and finance side of business.

CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst)
Focus: Investment analysis, portfolio management, financial markets.

Perfect if you want to build a career in equity research, investment banking, asset management, or finance sector.

Internationally recognized and valued.

Which one is better for you?
If you like legal & compliance, go for CS.

If you like costing & management accounting, go for CWA.

If you are interested in finance, investments, stock markets, go for CFA.

Important:
Since you’re doing articleship, check with ICAI about approvals for concurrent courses. Correspondence or distance learning is usually preferred.

Time management will be key, as CA articleship is demanding.
