Experienced CAs, by virtue of their specialization and professional qualification, do well in practice and or in the corporate sector. As practitioners, most of them have rich experience in areas such as taxation, accounts and audit but this experience limits them from acquiring broader perspective on issues related to economy, business, technology and markets, which are required to become effective consultants to the clients whom they serve. Similarly, most of the experienced CAs in the corporate sector tend to have somewhat restricted role limited to the Finance & Accounting function of the firm with which they are or have been associated with. In the process, they miss out on developing a holistic perspective and acquiring required skills to evolve as an effective business manager/ leader. The main objective of this program is to help experienced CAs in acquiring broader perspective, relevant to the business and management, within and outside their area of expertise and to help them acquire required managerial competencies and skills, so that they can contribute to the clients/organizations/firms they work for, more effectively. This may help them to further their career growth.
