CA is known to be the almost the top level of finance in any organization, since it deals with financial budgeting and managing the resources of the organization.


I am sure you would be looking forward to move in the Finance direction itself.
So few options open would be:

  • PGFP: Post graduation in Financial Planning: Also available as Advanced Financial planning. A 1 yar course provided by International Financial institute. This course equips you to manage funds and portfoils of various customers in any profile relating to banking or insurance or mutual funds or stock markets etc.
  • PGDSAT: Post graduate Diploma in Security Analysis and Trading: As the name suggests it deals with trading and securites It also covers fields like commodities trading and market research
  • SAP Finance course which helps you organise the data and financial help required
  • Actuarial Sciences: Mainly dealing with using statistical Analysis to measure risk in insurance investments and other financial sectors.
  • Risk Mangement:

The other most common courses you might be aware are:

  • ICWAI or as it is now known as CMA
  • CFA: The top most position in the financial organization. It involves global investment management and business skills required to win custoemrs satisfaction
  • Certified Internal Auditor: mainly dealing with internal risk auditing and management. Work is not only restricted to banks but financial sectors worldwide and into investments and securities.
  • MBA: Last but not the least is an MBA program, like Business management can be pursued. Also these days few of the institutes are providing a dual combination with MBA in Finance. eg, MBA in Finace and Risk Managemnt, MBA and Finacial planning diploma.
Choose wisely. Choose on the basis of the industry demand. Since you are in the market, you would be much aware of the requirement and its placemnt opportunity and growth. So choose accordingly, with discussions with senior managers and professionals.

Wish you all the very best...
