Chartered Accountants work in all fields of business and finance, including audit, taxation, financial and general management. Some are engaged in public practice work, others work in the private sector and some are employed by government bodies.
Chartered Accountants’ institutes require members to undertake a minimum level of continuing professional development to stay professionally competitive. They facilitate special interest groups (for instance, entertainment and media, or insolvency and restructuring) which lead in their fields. They provide support to members by offering advisory services, technical help lines and technical libraries. They also offer opportunities for professional networking and career and business development.
CA Foundation (CPT)
CA Foundation is the first level entry examination for the candidates who are going for the Chartered Accountancy Course.
Course Structure (New Syllabus):
- The name of CPT has been changed to Foundation Course. Few years ago, this entrance exam was also known by its current name “Foundation course”.
- The entrance exam was based on multiple choice questions – MCQ which is now changed to partially foundation descriptive exam. It means that June 2018 aspirants have to write answers just like other levels of CA examination rather than just tick mark on it.
- Earlier students could register for CPT 6 months before the examination. Now, the registration starts 9 months before so that they will get sufficient time for preparing and clarifyingtheir first attempt with ease. As the exam is partially descriptive, so it requires extra effort of passing so read all the latest notifications carefully before starting preparation and making strategies.
- Now, the CA aspirants get an additional paper which they have to solve within a given time. Therefore, as per the new syllabus of CPT, it is partial MCQ and partially descriptive. No need to take stress because those who are experts in the written examination can easily grasp these new alterations. On the other hand, those are not comfortable with the descriptive paper so they have to work hard and understand smartly.
