of the Interview
Hello Everybody.
We have here with us one of the leading faculties of Accountancy
for CA course in India, Mr.Parveen Sharma. It's god gifted that
he can influence almost every student he comes across. He has got
a charming personality and a brain and talent that is most rarely
found. His energy and positiveness can make people wonder!!! So,
let's have a chat with him.... ....
CA Nikita Jain
Good Morning, Sir. We already know about you that you have studied
from DU and were a brilliant student and you have lot of awards
and achievemnt that add diamonda to your crown. But, Sir how does
it feel to be the undisputed and untouched king of North in accountancy,
the one and only Parveen Sharma.
Mr. Parveen Sharma
Well, its not a question of untouched. Definitely, i personally
try to do my best. I started teaching in 1990 when i was in university
of DU . And its 19 years since i am teaching and since then i always
try to get into the real concepts and deliver in the best manner,visualisation
and overall acting even small small jokes also and that is the only
thing i enjoy very much very much whether i only two day ago,sunday
i was just on leave,it was very difficult to stay at home becoz
whenever i am in the class i do enjoy my 4 hours ..its really good
CA Nikita Jain
Sir,one thing,i would say its incredible, early in the morning,
7 A.M. morning right up superactive on the stage when half the students
are just sleeping and half awake. And then in between you catching
them and remarking "Bachoo sona nahi,Sona hay to Last bench mein
betho. Dekho wahan sare maha nalayak bethein hain".So sir how do
you do this? This is incredible...
Mr. Parveen Sharma
No no, the point is that as per our hindu vedas,basically everyone
is active in the morning and whenever a person is sleepy i do try
to not to embarass the person but try to pinch him and say be active
in my classes..and i myself do try to be active in the class because
seeing my activeness only others can get more active.Incase i am
lethargic and sitting on a chair students can't be active. I personally
do take care that i should be very very active on the stage.
CA Nikita Jain
Okay, sir one more thing.Don't you think students are more and
more depending on coaching now-a-days.When you started with your
studies i don't think there was any coaching institutes or any teachers
providing such kind of luxorious coaching with a/c and auditoriums.
Sir, is not it that students are not trying to put an any effort?
nowadays?
Mr. Parveen Sharma
No,the competition is growing among students. In our times a
person having 52% marks in CA final will get a rank and now it is
above 58% or 60%.A person who is getting 60% marks is getting rank..so
competition is growing day by day and that is just because of this
organised and professional coaching and this is definitely a new
era and every body should take advantage of coaching..its not that
students are getting weak but difinitely they are moving forward
in a more organised manner..
CA Nikita Jain
Ok,but there are appoximately 1.5 lakhs CA's in our country and
approx 1.5 lakhs students are enrolling for this course every year,
is not the announcement of articleship training issued on 30th March,'08
that during working hours,article assistant is not allowed to attend
college or take up their graduation course has made students opt
out of this course and in turn ICAI has not been able to cater the
needs of Indian Economy?
Mr. Parveen Sharma
In regard to 30th March announcement which institute has given,the
spirit is very correct that student should pursue their articleship
in a proper manner. Dummies should be avoided,and all students should
take care in the best spirit to do their coaching also, i meant
to say articleship also.But again the point rises that manner may
not be correct, by just saying that nobody can take transfer. There
are certain general reasons also not always the coaching,there can
be other reasons also someone wants to take transfer you simply
cant say no.I have seen some chartered accountants who have not
much work and articles wants to transfer his seat because he wants
to work in a better environment, you can't simply just say that
you move out because there is 50 k.m. limit and all that. May be
later or so he should definitely understand this troubles to students
and come out with a better solution than it.But i do say that articleship
plays a very very important role in the career of the student, they
should take care of this thing and they should do their articleship
seriously and properly.
CA Nikita Jain
Sir, no noticeable action has been seen by ICAI in relation to
the Satyam Fiasco, anything on that,Sir?
Mr. Parveen Sharma
I personally believe that there was nothing wrong in Satyam regard
to auditors ,nothing should come out also, because any pertainig
person who is doing according to institutes requirements,he is fulfilling
all his requirements and obligations properly,there is no reason
of questioning him.In case the person is veiwing all the details,he
is already cross examining each and every fact.Still there can be
frauds,they are giving the opinion and i don't see anything will
come out of the Satyam Case.
CA Nikita Jain
Sir, even bank statement were not checked.
Mr. Parveen Sharma
They were definitely checked, but they were manupulated at certain
point. We can't cross examine the authenticity of a particulatr
document incase it appears that it is proper.You can't just go to
bank and check all the papers there also. In case management is
notifing the paper is original, we are supposed to follow it, now
institute will certainly come out with more regulations in this
regard. May be in future, these type of scene may have a legal responsiblity
for Charetered accountants as well. But in this scenario,i think
we don't have any responsibilty in regard to Satyam. We did our
job properly and those who have been in this legal troubles will
come out clean.
CA Nikita Jain
Surely,they will.
Undoubtly the new MOU that ICAI has signed with Institute of England
and Wales,GJUST, CPA Australia, has widened the scope of professional
experience for CA's in india as well as abroad but wih constant
change in the course and stringent regulations like ban on transfer
issued on 19th of May 09, how many students are ready to take up
this course. You know ,i mean the ban on transfer and the stringent
rules that they are putting on even the Chartered Accountants when
they are now members of the ICAI, how long will the students want
to go for such a course?
Mr. Parveen Sharma
They will definitely go, but so far as i am concerned and had
a talk with students, most of them will go for SAP courses when
they qualify CA.They are more right now in thier primary stage of
qualifing CA Exam.They do take care in case they want to got abroad
and settle over there, or may be they want to expand there business
outside india,they will definitely go for these classes because
in future,the institute will definitely and more such kind of institutes
and more kinds of even foreign firms also come to India and operate
and we will be allowed going outside india fro operations.so there
is not only opportunities in India but outside India also for us
as well as foreigners also..and CA students are viewing this as
an opportunity and they will difinitely work harder, they will without
any transfer position they will definitely come out and join these
courses offered by the institute.
CA Nikita Jain
Sir, on 19th May,'09 the same notification,there was an announcement
forthe coaching classes.What it said was like this "the coaching
classes shall not continue after 9.30 a.m. or start before 5.30
p.m., so as to enable the article and audit assistants to continue
wholly on practical thing" also "members of institute who are engaged
in coaching are advised not to undetake coaching between 9.30 a.m.
to 5.30 p.m.". How much has this affected the coaching and the problems
you have faced after that?
Mr. Parveen Sharma
No not at all, may be institute has announced this only on 30th
of March or 19th of May, but i on my own for the last one year,am
just winding the operations of the class by 9.30 a.m. or so. May
be certain students do remain there for asking queries, but otherwise
my classes start at 6.30 a.m. We changed our timings we used to
start at 7:30 a.m.,normally starts at 6.30 a.m. We just changed
out timings, may be students are feeling a little bit harder to
arrive at 6.30 a.m. but now they are used to and i am the first
person atleast in Delhi to change the timings.I am only the one
who has changed the timings for the last one year. So i dont think
there is any issue, now other teachers are also joining and they
are also changing their timing to 6.30 a.m.
CA Nikita Jain
Sir,one more thing, regarding the technology for the students
basically the CA course is not that you need to ,you know basically
go on to net search for things,because for everything we have books,we
have teachers, we have guidance and nothing is out of the text book,basically
you dont get the general thing in the CA exams so what you suggest,the
students should go for such things and be more techno savvy because
everything like Income Tax filling, Corporate filling,everything
is done online now. So is not it now its neccesary now to become
tech savvy?
Mr. Parveen Sharma
No, but the point is that i understand that students are more
tech savvy than in our time and in future they will be more tech
savy than today's CA students. We are also growing with times and
in our school there was only one computer,in 1990 when i qualified
my 12th class and now i myself is running satellite classes and
may be technology i am not very strong but i know that this is going
to the future and we may come across recorded classes on website
and such kind of thing. I understand students dont have time right
now and they can definitely take this classes on net,they need to
be tech savy,they are tech savy i believe strongly. Even your website
has a hits of 50,000 per day and i think the hits are more from
students side.
CA Nikita Jain
Ya they are.Okay, last before the students get disappointed,anything
directly to the students on the website. 30,000 hits that we get
every day,you want to say anything to the students personally?
Mr. Parveen Sharma
They should plan their time accordingly and they should give
proper importance to study as well as their office. Professonal
courses need professional planning. They should make profesional
plans for their studies,try to have atleat 5 times revision of all
the subjects because that gives them confidence as well as motivation
also, and they can get good marks from that.So students should be
more and more properly planned, properly informed and doing whatever
the CA should basically ask them to.
CA Nikita Jain
So for the students its like more a planning and more of studies.
Mr. Parveen Sharma
Ya more of studies and more of planning.Thats their age.
CA Nikita Jain
Lastly, because now we are reaching 2 lakh members on CAclubindia,
would you like to say anything for us,we would be really glad to
hear from you!!
Mr. Parveen Sharma
I am really really pleased to listen that there are more than
2 lakhs members and i realy congratulate you on that and i see a
very very bright future for CAclubindia.I have been personally viewing
the site for the last two or three years and the site has grown
many folds and all the students coming to this website,thank you
very much for making this website a hit and wish you all the best
for the future.
