On 3rd of June 2022 Gazette notification came on about the proposed scheme of education and training in CA .
On 4th of June 2022 ICAI finally made an announcement on the proposed scheme of education and training.
I am talking about the new CA course and there are lots of major changes proposed by the committee of Review of education and training and I know lot of CA students and CA ASPIRANTS have doubts and confusion.
This is the proposed scheme of education and training which means it is not final yet as still institute is taking suggestions, recommendation from the people who are affected by this new CA COURSE.
NOTE:- MAY 23 and NOV 23 students will give their exams in existing syllabus.
If you want you people can give suggestions and recommendations.
Now WHY THIS NEW CA COURSE? What was the need to make so many changes?
First of all the main reason was to make this CA curriculum globally relevant.
Second to emphasize more on ethics and information technology.
Third is to diversify the roles of CA
