Hope this helps!!!

The CA course is designed to combine theoretical study with practical training. There is an exam for it and is divided in 3 aspects:

• Common Proficiency Test (CPT)
• Integrated Professional Competence Course (IPCC)
• Final Examination

ICAI conducts CPT exams in June and December, IPCC and Final examinations in May and November each year.
The role of a chartered accountant covers many aspects of finance work, including continuous management of financial systems and budgets; undertaking financial audits (an independent check of an organisation's financial position); and even providing financial advice.
Good luck.
