what to do for Chatter accountent
Hi Prem!
First take commerce as your subject for 10+2. You can start your path in becoming a chartered accountant either after your XIIth or even after completing your graduation or post-graduation. But if you are any graduate or a post graduate candidate then you can skip some steps which are compulsory for the 10+2 pass candidate. If you are just 10+2 pass candidate, you need to clear these exams:
- CA Foundation course (called CPT or Common Proficiency Test)- Register yourself for CA foundation course , complete the study period of 4 months and write the exam.
- CA Intermediate - register for CA intermidiate exam after qualifying CA foundation exam
- Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft skills (ICITSS) - completed in 4 weeks and pursue it before articleship.
- Complete 8 months study course of CA Intermediate and appear for the exam. There will be 2 groups of exams, you need to pass at least one before moving forward.
- Articleship (3-year training)- after joining article ship (join after completing ICITSS and clearing atleast 1 group of CA intermediate) and side by side you can clear the other/remaining group of CA intermediate (if any).
- Appear for the final exam either after completing your articleship or during the last 6 months of it.
- Advanced Integrated Course on Information Technology and Soft Skills (AICITSS)
- Clear the final exam and enrol yourself as a member of the ICAI to be designated as a “Chartered Accountant”.
Kinldy note, these steps are to be followed in the same order as mntioned.
If you are a graduate or post graduate candidate, you can choose direct entry route. You can skip the CA foundation course and exam. You can direclty begin with the CA intermediate course an d exam.
Thankyou!
