How
to become a Chartered Accountant? If you are a commerce student with high
aspirations, this is the first question you ask. This is definitely a lucrative
working opportunity if you have gone through proper schooling and hold correct
certificates.
To
be a certified CA in the country like Chandan
Agarwal, you need to be Institute of Chartered Accountant India member
in the first place. This is the Government regulatory authority, who certify
you to be in a profession of finances, accounting, and auditing.
Clearly,
to be a CA you need a membership and we will be discussing the process to
procure that membership now.
Qualifications required to become a Chartered Accountant
Firstly,
understand that CA study isn’t the same thing as an MBA. Even a 10th
or 12th pass student can seek his luck here. Of course,
post-graduation courses are available, but each have own qualification
criterion.
The
basic qualifications to begin with-
·
Essentially you need
to pass your 10+2 examination.
·
You need common
Proficiency Test or CPT clearance.
·
Post-graduates and
graduates need to secure a minimum of 55% marks in commerce field with Auditing,
Accounting and Mercantile Laws as the three essential papers.
·
If you a graduate
from the non-commerce field, you need a minimum aggregate of 60%.
CA
courses through CPT
CPT
is definitely the most popular route leading to CA courses. To get a CPT
clearance, one needs to first get enrollment in Common Proficiency Course or
CPC under ICAI. You can join this course the most you have completed 10th
test.
The
best way is to get your clearance after course completion, which is alongside
your 10+2 board examination.
Once
you clear CPT you are left with 3 choices to join a CA course-
i.
10th pass
CA courses
ii.
12th pass
CA Course
iii.
Post-graduation CA
Courses
CA
course is essentially a combination of 4 linked courses-
1. Common Proficiency Test
2. Intermediate Integrated Professional Competence Course
3. Accounting Technician Course
4. Final Course of reporting
CA
course in India lasts for 3½ years in total.
Before
we conclude, remember the course is not all very simple. But if you master in
this field, your future is very bright.
