Ca after software engineering

Dear All,

I have a question here...

I'm a Software Engineer and an MBA working as a Business Analyst with a firm. My work needs me to dive into Business Functions all the time; as we all know...Accounts is the language of Business. So, just to enhance my knowledge, I wish to do CA while working in my present capacity. Please note that I don't want to seek employment as a CA as such, but want to use the knowledge acquired in my firm. So...I have a few questions:

A. Is there any legality binding me from pursuing CA?

B. If I'm enrolled in CA...will I have to do the Foundation Course [I'm a post-graduate]

C. Do I need to attend classes 'officially' or I can study on my own/ take coaching?

D. Do I need to do 3 years of articleship; even if my firm allows me to work and train at the same time under our company's CA?

I'd really be grateful to everyone who answers my questions.

Best Regards,

Rajbir Singh
