The ICAI president in a recent interaction with the members in industry at the-" 8th Corporate Accountants Meet" in Bangalore announced that there is going to be a major overhaul of the syllabus in tune with the market requirements.
So it is not too clear what will the final shape of the syllabus going to look like. As you are already aware major areas like Companies Act 2013, Ind AS (IFRS), GST, GAAR, DTC, Cloud Computing, Big Data Analytics, International Transfer Pricing, Insurance and Risk Management (IRDA), SEBI, IPR, Land Ceiling Act, WTO etc are some of the changes that is shaping as we speak. So it is going to be tough to guess how the revised syllabus is going to be 2 - 3 years down the line.
None the less, you must keep updating your knowledge in sync with the changes occurring around you. So topics like Financial Management, Governance, Risk & management (GRC) in Information Technology, Standards in Audit and Accounts must be constantly updated.
