22 April 2013I am a student of CA Inter. I was thinking of taking up another course with CA and decided upon CFA. But I found out that its very costly and it could take more than Rs. 1 lakh to complete the course. So I want to know the relevance of CFA, especially in India and whether I would be able to recover more than I invest in the future.
It would be also appreciated if anyone could suggest any other appropriate course combination with CA.
Go for CFA (US) its a good combination with CA if you are interested in Financial Sector. Cost will be more than 1 lacs but you will recover it in 1st or 2nd month salary.

Dear Arindam,
for now u cannot take CFA wid CA for now.
Eligibility criteria:
CA n CFA both have different expertise. A CA is a expert in A/C, Audit (generaly) n as a CFA ur job profile will b mostly investment n banking sector..
CFA is a expensive course but it is certainly high return course with huge international exposer.
for now if u want to do a course along wid CA u always have a option to do CS or CMA depending upon your interest.
i would advice do ur CA first n CS or CMA along wid it. and after 4 years of professional job experiance if u are still intrested to study more or go into investment or banking sector u can get urself registred wid CFA (US).

Dear Arindam,
Buddy CMA n CA course content might b similar. but pl. check final syllabus its slightly different. n in cma ur costing will b expertised wid reference to COST ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.
If u wish to work in industry CA wid CMA is the best combination. if ur interest is in investment, banking sector, stock market CA wid CS is a better opt. after ur CA if u r willing to do CFA, CA wid CS will help u more.
I'm also a CS-CA Executive/ IPCC student. Yes CS is more of a theory course but it has its own field of work. infact in the new company bill CS powers n importance has also increased. CS n CMA are sister course of CA so there will b similarity between syllabus.
like i said earlier combination of course should not b content based rather it should b interest based. but before joining any course with CA. do keep in mind about its training structure.

Hi,
The suggestions above mentioned were apt for the query. I think MBA will be the best conmbination with CA as it gives the thorough knowledge of managerial skills and expertise. In case u don want to explore in the similar field, this can be a gud option. MBA from recognised university will be an added advantage for CFA as well. With more avenues in the field of CSR, Strategy Mgmt professionals with MBA are preferred as well.
