Late to do ca

CA Final 2124 views 16 replies

An individual completed MBA-fin, and a few short courses related to finance/investments. Has over 12 years working experience in accounts. 

Can he do CA at a later age? Can he get any exemption from examinations of group 1? Does he have to work as article clerk or his past experience shall be sufficient?

Please advise

Thanks.

There is exemption available as of now... He has to work as a article for 3 year. There is no exemption in group 1 also....

Thanks for the reply.

What about ATC (Accounting technician course)?

Can he do ATC and then go for IPCC without doing GMCS training and IT training? 

Hi everybody,

 

Iam very much confused now... i cleared PE 2 Examination in my first attempt on Nov 2007 later i discontinued the course after that i completed M.com and also cleared the UGC NET Examination but iam working in Financial Management so now iam really interest in completing CA Course but i did nt do my Articleship Trainning. is it too late to go for CA now my age is 28 Now.

                             Hii Mihar, a candidate who want to opt for ATC should compulsorily undergo 100 hrs ITT before appearing for ATE

                  Hii Anil sir,28 may be the late for marriage not for studies.If you wish to do the CA you can join in it no need to bother about it.....

Thanks for the reply Nithin. 

                                  My pleasure Mihar sir....................

Mihir I want to share one experience with you..one of my client was 35 years old, he was Bcom hons graduate but was not getting promoted after working for 15 years in the company to the post of CFO as he was not a CA...We all motivated him and today he is CA as well as CFO in the same firm...If that guy can be CA at that age why cant  you???...all u need is passion to achieve something..In account and finance profession no matter how talented and experienced you are, at the end of the day u need  degree....So dont bother about age at all and never listen to people who talk negative it ur life at the end of the day u have to live it.....

Thank you spendinsumtym, that is inspiring. 

I was studying for ACCA and CIMA, both at the same time. But had to leave in between after my mom passed away. 

So just wondering if its a good idea to start over at this stage. 

Thanks again.

 

                    Greatly said friend this would be very inspiring for many people who wanna do and become a professional CA.................

 Thanks Nithin,

 

These comments have really inspired me and i have decide to go for it... may this be a turning point in life... thanks a lot

My pleasure Sir..............

Never look towards ur age but only to dream......

CA. S D Bala the author of the SFM Book of CA Final & also the Faculty on CCI online coaching & also having his Own Coaching Classes in Chennai, started his CA at the Age of 58 after Retiring from State Bank as an AGM International Banking.

He Completed his CA in 2004 when 60 - 61. & to support my statement, You can Refer the Preface & Writeup given by HIm in his Text Book of SFM for CA Final. YOu will find this Fact written by Himself.

Again he did his full articleship of 3 Yrs. 

So Mr Anil there is No Upper age Bar for studies

Also to tell you, Just 2 Yrs back One Gentleman from UP Did & completed his Phd at the Age of 80. So now are you Old enough to do CA or compared to above Reality Checks You feel you are still a Kid & Young to stdy CA. Decide & Go ahead
