If you have already passed one module of the CS Professional course and you were enrolled in the CS Executive program when you initially filled Form 112, it is advisable and necessary to disclose your enrollment in the CS course to ICAI by updating Form 112. Here’s why and how you can approach this:
### Why Disclose Now?
1. **Regulatory Compliance**: As per ICAI regulations, it is mandatory to disclose all courses of study pursued during articleship, including professional courses like CS.
2. **Transparency and Integrity**: Disclosing now shows transparency and integrity in your professional dealings. It’s important for the regulatory body to have complete information about your educational pursuits during the articleship period.
3. **Avoid Potential Penalties**: Non-disclosure could potentially lead to penalties or complications in the future, especially during membership application or other regulatory processes.
### How to Disclose:
1. **Update Form 112**: Obtain a fresh Form 112 from the ICAI website or office. Fill out the form accurately, including details about your enrollment in the CS course. Clearly mention the dates of enrollment and the current status of your progress in the CS Professional course.
2. **Provide Explanation**: Along with Form 112, provide a brief explanation in a cover letter or a separate document. Explain that you were initially enrolled in the CS Executive program when you filled out Form 112, and now you have progressed to the CS Professional level. Mention that you are updating the Institute about this development for regulatory compliance.
3. **Supporting Documents**: Include any relevant documents such as enrollment certificates or mark sheets that substantiate your enrollment and progress in the CS course.
### Addressing Potential Concerns:
- **Timing**: Address the delay in disclosing your CS enrollment honestly. Explain that you initially enrolled in the CS Executive course and did not realize the requirement to update ICAI about this until now.
- **Regulatory Compliance**: Emphasize your commitment to regulatory compliance and your intention to rectify the oversight promptly.
### Conclusion:
It is definitely advisable and necessary to disclose your enrollment in the CS course to ICAI by updating Form 112. This ensures that your records with ICAI are accurate and up to date. By providing a clear explanation and supporting documents, you demonstrate transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.
If you have any concerns about potential repercussions for the delay in disclosure, it’s advisable to consult with a professional or seek guidance from ICAI directly. They may provide specific instructions on how to proceed given your circumstances.
