Hello peeps,

I am a IPCC student and undergoing articleship, I wanted to persue CS or ICWA, but i am kind off more inclined towards CS.

Need ur suggestions which will be an ideal combination with CA and also job prospect later on.

Any suggestions are welcome! Peace

Go by your inclination; assess which appeals you more, Cost related work or Corporate Secretarial work. Let your choice be looked from the prism of your strengths and perceived opportunities that such a qualification can provide you.

In case, if, you have inertia on any particular stream, please do not opt for such a course as it can dent your aspiration. Choose a course that is of your interest.

Best of luck

I DO NOT SEE ANY BENEFIT OF CWA.CA+CS IS A BETTER COMBO

Thank you everyone for ur comments.

Sorry I forgot to mention dat I have done my Bcom already.

Okay I have decided to go with CA +CS combination.

Can I do self study for CS executive exams? is it manageable or i need to do coaching for this as well?

If i register for CS in Feb'13, then in which session can i write executive level exam?

Doing CS along with CA is much better in comparison to CA+CWA because anyway the both professions would be similar i.e. accounts, taxation and audit based so its better to go for CS.

CMA is the abbreviation for Cost and management accountant. The name of the Institute of Cost & Works Accountants of India have been changed to ICAI-CMA, rest is the same.

depends upon our terms of reference , as far as similarity and relativity is concerned , icwa has more similarity to ca as compared to cs . but if you want to diversify then cs would be better , therefore diversification / charting into known territory is your own choice !
