The requirement of compulsory practical training is an integral part of the Chartered Accountancy course. Keeping this in view, the Council has recently issued a statement to ensure that working hours of articled assistants do not clash with any other activity undertaken by the articled assistants.

 However, it has been brought to the notice of the Institute that some of articled assistants are attending coaching classes during working hours of articled training.

It is hereby clarified that articled assistants are not permitted to attend coaching classes during working hours.

As stated earlier, articled training is an important part of CA curriculum.

 

To ensure that the articled training is carried out seriously and in the manner prescribed by the Institute, the Institute will now be collecting information from various sources adopting various methodologies about private coaching classes/centres, its timings, brochures/pamphlets of such classes/centres,

students registered/undergoing coaching and faculty engaged thereat etc. On the basis of the information so collected or coming to the notice of the Institute, appropriate action will be taken against such students as are found violating the Regulations and the guidelines issued by the Council.
