CA Course: The #No.1 Full Stack Guide to Chartered Accountancy

Love crunching numbers? Have a deep interest in taxation and accounting? Then think about pursuing a CA Course. A career path in CA (Chartered Accountancy) is challenging but worth it for those who are genuinely passionate about this field. This article is a full-stack career guide to the CA Course and everything you would need to pursue a career in Chartered Accountancy.  

Before we go on to discuss how to become a CA, let us brush up some basic facts about what is CA and dig a tad bit more about the CA course.

What is CA/ Chartered Accountant? 

Chartered Accountants (CA) are certified public accountants. They are qualified in managing various financial services such as filing business’s tax returns, auditing financial statements and business practices, maintaining records of investments, tax planning, preparing and reviewing financial reports and documents, and wealth management. They are also qualified to provide advisory services to clients including individuals as well as business organizations.

All companies which are mandated by the Indian Laws to file their tax returns must get their accounts audited and certified by Chartered Accountants. If accounts or financial statements are not audited and certified by Chartered Accountants, the concerned company owners are liable for penal actions. Under the Indian Laws, only Chartered Accountants can audit and certify the financial accounts of various companies & business organizations.

Chartered Accountants have to register as a member of the ICAI. Members of the ICAI can either be an Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA) or Fellow Chartered Accountant (FCA) based on their experience. After clearing CA Final, candidates become eligible to be called as Chartered Accountants (CA) only after getting registered for the Associate Membership of the ICAI.

Members of the ICAI who have less than 5 years of experience are referred to as the Associate Chartered Accountants (ACAs). And ACAs who have been in continuous practice for five years are eligible for ICAI’s Fellow Membership. They are referred to as Fellow Chartered Accountants (FCAs).

Now that you know what is CA, it is equally important to know the official body that regulates this profession. Read this short intro to ICAI in the following section.

Overview of ICAI

Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is a professional public accounting authority established on 1st July 1949 as a statutory body under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, India. It was set up for the purpose of regulating the profession of Chartered Accountants. The ICAI is the world’s leading accounting body, regulator, and developer of professionals in accounting, assurance, taxation, finance, and business advisory services.

The ICAI offers several courses such as:

1. Chartered Accountancy/ CA course;
2. Post Qualification courses for Members such as Information Systems Audit (ISA), Diploma on Management and Business Finance (DMBF), Post Qualification Diploma in International Taxation, etc.;
3. Certificate Courses for Members such as Certificate Course on GST, Certificate Course on Public Finance & Government Accounting, Certificate Course on Anti Money laundering Laws (Anti- Money Laundering Specialist), etc.

In this article, we will mainly focus on the Chartered Accountancy/ CA Course. Now that you know what is CA and the ICAI, CA regulatory body, let us now take a fine understanding of the entire CA course; the entry routes and much more.
