And in this new yug where CAs are supposed to take new challenges; we are are talking like taujii that we should concentrate on practise. All of the CA students aren't internship in just certifiying balancesheet. We also want to become big corporate honchos and present CA system won't enable us to that. And forget about the system of training. it's bakwash. And just by publising a pic of a model(boy and girl) wearing neat and trendy casual wear and carrying some books on his/her hand(like students in the west) AT THE BROCHURE OF IPCC AND CPT ; won't improve the image of icai's faulty training system. kauwe agar maur kaa feathers lagaye; woh maurr nahi bantaa |

Thats correct. Most of the so called initiatives of ICAI are poorly implemented. One of the best examples being the compulsory computer course.
The problem I see that ICAI wants to do too many things at a time. It will come up with some stupid subject like Information Technology, Strategic Management in PCC and say that it is imparting training of IT and management among students. As if studying history of computers and writing short notes on some stupid things will make us IT literates and as if studying a few definitions and writing short notes is going to make us Management professionals....this is all bull sh*t.
Even Financial Management...itsa a good sucject, but most (not all) of things in our syllabus are too theoretical and practcally of no use...(see the various theories...the assumptions...they are so stupid...). I have worked in the Financial Advisory Services area for a longtime with one of the big 4's....and honestly...i didn't find our FM relevant. FM as such is a good subject, but without having a proper syllabus, its of no use. Practically, Financial Management works in a very different way than what we are learning in CA course. All these subjects like IT, SM and FM are big headaches for exams, a sheer waste of time and brain drain.
Maheshwari Sir, if you can, you should suggest ICAI to remove these subjects because as it is the current syllabus for these good subjects which we have is outdated, irrelevant and impractical. Either the syllabus should be made practical and interesting, or subjects should be removed. As jose, rightly said about the brochure part...i agree that by having these subjects for the sake of it and talking big, nothing will be achieved.
