Pls advise which career option is best one and also plz advise why...

1) CA + CS

2) CWA + CS + CIMA

it is to be noted that CWA has to give only 3 papers to complete CIMA course..

kindly tell me the edge of the course of ur choice over the other..

kindly tell me about the training guidelines for ICWA course as a student doing CS and CWA can go for only one training at a time. now question arises-

1) Such student can appear for ICWA exams- inter/final/both without going for practical training as required by ICWAI.

2) After becoming a member of ICSI and working as a C.S. can he avail exemption from the training requirements of ICWAI

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Please choose CWA+CS+CIMA as your option

If you complete CWA you have to write an entry exam called "CPGA" for CIMA and after that there will be strategic level in which u have to write 3 papers and last " TOP CIMA" one exam to get membership.

And CWA , CS too has some mutual exemptions

Coming to practical training

It is not mandatory for ICWA and there are many ways to escape it. It don't prohibit for doing ICWA final.

But any how corporate experience in cost accounting or management accounting will help you for CWA and CIMA

Once u get CIMA qualification you pay starts at 83000 pounds p.a and one pound = 75.

Please calculate i dont have a calculator.

I completed CWA and currently writing the entrance exam CPGA of CIMA. So if u need any details of CIMA be in touch with me.

After becoming a member of ICSI and working as a C.S. can he avail exemption from the training requirements of ICWAI ----- if you have done work in company and fullfill the tranning requirement of ICWA then allowed, otherwise not allowed.

1.PLZ ALSO ANSWER THIS QUERY TOO:"kindly tell me the edge of the course of ur choice over the course not preferred by you?"

2. Like CA Course, do we have to enter into any deed for registering as article in CWA Course in any of the stage. As i heard that at the time of registration for internediate stage we have to submit deed of articleship alongwith fee of Rs. 1,000/-...

THANKS FOR UR REPLIES...

Hello Friend,

As per my suggestion with CA you should go for CS to grab top opportunities at management level. CS is a very good combination with CS as far as course content and understanding the corporate environment is concerned.

If you are having CS qualification then it would be counted as an additional advantage and you can easily and confidently handle or administer secretarial work/department along with the account work/department.

This advice is based on my professional experience. Hope this would be off some help. Other courses are also good. But my vote goes for CS as according to me CS qualification is the gate pass for top management position.

Best Regards

i think u cannot claim exemption frm ICWAi training by passing CS....

there is no nexus....moreover in ICWAI training period is 3 yrs bt in CS is less than that

bt u can claim ur CA articlship in ICWAI thus abstain from doin any training......!!!!!!!!!

Look, Finance is a big ocean. Some of the areas of finance are:

Investment Banking, Project Finance, Corporate finance, Due diligence, Brand valuations, Risk management and so on...

With CA course one can jump into any of the above. And to develope a core competence in the subject would demand for an additional qualification. For eg: if an Individual wants to excel in Investment banking, Project Finance then he should go for CFA.

If he is interested in Corporate finance such as Pricing, costing, budgeting, what level of production, cost reduction, targets, analysis of new plant setup, decisions making, impacts of taxes on products, impacts of inflation and so on. then chose for ICWA or CIMA.

After all its about experience that matters........

hiiiiii

CA+CS is better if you are smart..after completion of CA & CS u can write CWA..there are exemptions for CWA for the persons who cleared CS. Hardly it takes one to one and half year time to do CWA after CS..u can get three professional qualifications..after that if u r interested with CIMA u can do that also...
