If the syllabus was same then, why two courses?? ;)

You can find the syllabus for ICWAI here:

https://www.icwai.org/icwai/docs/icwaisyllabus2008.pdf

You are to judge whether you need coaching or not, the opinions given here might not be suitable for you. You can check out previous attempts question papers to get an idea:

or, download modules:

You choose what you want? Be jack of all trades or be master of one? Whatever you do, you should be clear with it. S'pose you complete both courses, but when one asks you a question relating to any of 'em, you're dumstruck!

So you gotta introspect yourself. If you are CA with so much expertise/ knowledge compared to a CA+CS+CWA person, you will still be preferred. There's no harm in doing both, but why you wanna do it should be clear.

Some people choose CWA as a backup plan to CA, in case something goes wrong or takes time. Some for knowledge sake, some for certificate sake. Different people different reasons.

Hi,

Myself also in CA Final..... and cleared CWA in recent attempt.
Prepare at par with CA Stuff and use icwai material for strategic financial managenment and practical subjects make preparation as you will make for CA exams.

For Cost audit... use material and past suggested answers.

in 1st stage Tax and 2nd stage Business Valuatoin are the critical subjects

Be thorough with International Finance, Derivatives.

U have to do some sort systematic preparation

Hope that this stuff i wrote will be useful to you.Best of luck

Kalyan
