Importance of Financial Analysis Skill for a Chartered Accountant.

Chartered Accountants are professionals who require good number crunching skills. They must me good in Analysis specially Financial Analysis. The question is does the CA Curricullum give enough exposure to a potential Charterd Accountant to master the Art and Science of Financial Analysis. The answer unfortunately is "no" as allthough theretically it may cover important parts of the Financial Analysis Skills but it fails to provide practical skills required to be a good Financial Analyst.

Now the question arises What are the options available for a Practicing Chartered Accountant or Student Pursuing the Chartered Accountant Program to be better Financial Analysts.

There are practically 2 ways they can do this.

1. They join a organization into Financial Analysis and Learn on the Job.
2. They pursue a Program/Course in Financial Analysis.

Allthough option 1 is more preferable than 2 but it is difficult to execute.

That leaves us with the option of pursuing a Good Financial Analysis Program or Certification.

There are many International Certifications in Financial Analysis. But let us see on what basis should you choose the program.

1. It should be renowned program with reputation.
2. It should have a comprehensive curricullum
3. The cost should be reasonable.
4. The time frame to pursue the program should be reasonable.
5. It should be Globally Accepted.
6. It should be available in your city.
