14 March 2016 Dear Experts,

I'd registered for CA and was doing my articleship for 1 year, later I discontinued because of family issues (I had to find a job and support my family). The stipend was not enough for that. I wrote to CA Headquarters about my situation and asked them whether they can accept my work experience as articleship for the remaining two years?(I'm working in a Big 4 as a Tax Analyst). Unfortunately ICAI replied it can't be considered. My dream of becoming CA ended there. Now I'm confused whether to pursue CMA or CS? Or is there anyway that I can study CA again without articleship? I can't afford going for articleship again as I'm the only one supporting my family. Could you please guide me on the above?

Thanks in advance.

14 March 2016 In cma and cs both, u need to do articleship. In cs u need to complet articleship of 15 months under PCS or a Company. Or 12 months articleship after passing CS.
I think there are some exemptions allowed in cma articleship if you have work experience. I am not sure about that.

15 March 2016 Thank you for your reply Daksha. I'll check with the CMA articleship and go ahead. There is no other way I can pursue CA right?
