Hello My Dear Swati, The Career Aspirant,
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is the best option these days and MBA in International business will be the another advantage if you can do swati
Dear Swati,
Thanks for writing to us your query! Very good question.
Well, future course after CA depends on you career goal. You can work as an independent consultant or full time employee with consultancy firm or corporates or in academia. Also, you need to determine area of work: accounting, taxation, costing, and corporate law
Based on your interest, you can do Cost Management Accountant (CMA), Certified Information System Auditor (CISA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), IFRS, MBA and also do PhD without doing any masters course. If you are interested in academics or research, you can do PhD.
For practice and good job, CFA, IFRS would have good scope in India as well as abroad.
I am sharing the link of website that provides list of useful course that might be of your interest:

Hope this helpful in taking informed career decision!
With Best Wishes,
Apurva Kumar Pandya, PhD
