I haven't done B.Com but have 12-13 years of experience in accounting (Manually in the begining & for last 8 years computerised). I am well aware of all taxation work, can do finalisation of accounts, E-TDS, calculating Sales Tax, BRS, MIS Reporting.
My main problem starts now as I do not have any degree to show, I m stuck at the same place. I want to work big organization for that I need to have technical certification.

Would any1 help me decide which course I can do online or weekend batches and can complete in minimum amount of time

Thanking you

my advice to you is do icwai course which you can do as correspondence course and if interested you can take oral classes at respected chapters of icwai.considering the time factor it is more advisble.

As per my advice you should go for CS,Because,The pass % is CS is better than CA and CWA.You may got your Certificate of feloowship in Just 03 years and there is no requirement of Articleship/Indutrial TYraining in CS,If you w'd like to prefer/will do Job.In other hand your Past experience can be consider as Indutrial Training,If w'd like to go for indepandent practice.

It is quite easy than other professional courses,mentioned above and is equal to that, in all Govt./Private Jobs.

I don't think you should choose the course on the basis on pass %age.

Understand your capabilities, and also understand what's hard to get is more valuable.

Based on your experience, I'd suggest you CA/ CWA, you can go for practice in both options. If you can sacrifice the idea of auditing (other than cost audits), you can avoid CA otherwise you can provide more or less same services in CA and CWA.

CWA would be comparitively simpler and quicker, due to exemptions available (Foundation/ Practical Training). Also, it would be time saving at this stage compared to CA. If you enroll by June 5, and complete necessary formailities, you can appear both groups of Inter in December 2011. If you pass both groups and again complete necessary formalities for Final, you can appear in December 2012, if you pass that too, you are ICWAI final qualified by March 2012.

In CA you start with CPT, need to pass IPCC next, i.e. after 1 year, join articleship for 3 years, appear in final during last 6 months. If you pass all levels in single attempts you will still need atleast 4 years.

You can take classes for both courses, it's your choice, also you can do it yourself as they have postal schemes. You can enroll for both if you so desire. You can ask some student around you, doing these courses, have a look into the course material.

Ahh... sorry, I mis-read, I thought you were B.Com.. You have start from Foundation in CWA then.. If you are interested in going for jobs, some organisations esp. governmental prefer B.Com along with M.Com/ CA/ CWA/ MBA-Finance.
