Other courses you can pursue with CS are:
- CS, ICWA, CFA (US), CMA (UK). These are long term duration with more than 3 years.
- CPA, CFP, CIA, CISA etc. are medium term duration depending upon the devotion and your level of knowledge.
- Further there are many certification programmes like, CIFRS, NCFM, CMA (US) etc. NCFM course is conducted by the Indian Stock Exchanges and concerned with security market.
The combination of CA+CFA is good in case the interest is for Investment banking and Portfolio Management.
The combination of CA+CPA is also a good one in case interest is in Accounting and Auditing field.
The Combination of CA+CS is also good as explained above.
Also focus on the opinion below:
In today’s time ICAI membership only is not enough. To improve the chances of getting quick job after receiving ICAI membership following practical things is necessary to be considered:
- More than basic understanding of accounting.
- Good knowledge of ERP, Tally, SAP, IFRS, MIS working environment.
- Understanding of working as a finance part.
- Good and practical knowledge of Taxation.
My best wishes are always with you. Be humble and be successful.
All the best
