Importance of Accountancy as a profession

Accountancy has the potential to become a great career option for any one who is genuinely interested in the subject. Vikram Bapat gave instances from his life as examples to the students so that they could relate in a better way. According to him the scope for accountants was limited in the initial days when the economy was closed. It was only in the late eighty's and the early ninety's that things began to change. Vikram became a qualified accountant in 1989. Like any other fresh graduate he too was confused about his career options but he always wanted to be a part of the industry.

Primarily there are two options available for a commerce graduate. He/she can go for CA or for an MBA programme. MBA has various divisions based on the subjects or the specialization one choose. Also, the institute in which one applies for the programme also matters a lot.

Whereas after doing your CA there are three options available for a student.  He can go for Audit, Tax profession or as an adviser. Finance has thus got plenty of opportunities today.
