18 December 2007 Hi Harini,

This is first stage of the chartered accountancy curriculum wherein only working knowledge of core and allied subjects to accountancy profession is covered, while at the Final course, advanced application knowledge of core and allied subjects to accountancy profession has been intended to be inculcated. The unique feature of the entire theoretical education of the Chartered Accountancy curriculum is the supportive and complementary practical training. A student would undergo theoretical education and practical training concurrently from the beginning of the first stage of theoretical education. This balanced approach will help the students to appreciate the underlying practical applications of the theoretical education scheme.
Neither a stand-alone theory nor a practice without theoretical knowledge would make a professional successful. Moreover, there is a need to develop proper understanding of the business environment and information technology which acts as an important business process driver. It is also essential to sharpen communication skills to be able to work successfully in the competitive business environment.
