The Vulcanos

It had become a usual task to wait for the day of the result, to check the website, enter your seat number and get ready to get back to studies; yet again. But this time it did not happen like that. I did wait for the day of the result and the website was visited around the scheduled time, my seat number was entered and I found relief. After having known the fact that I had successfully cleared the exam, it took me quite a while to believe it. My emotions went numb. My feelings went numb. I did…See More

Gaining through the loss

And I stood in front of the mirror in my room. It was a long monday. A lot had happened, a lot was thought, a lot was found and a lot was sought. I left for office in the morning as usual. I waved 'tata' to my mother, my father, my sister, and my wife. I reached office on time, began with my work and stuff. But something was running at the back of my mind which I did not let show on my face till it was somewhere around eleven o'clock when I checked the website where the results of the exam were…See More

Submitting to Stupid Rules

Source - http://apurvaoka.blogspot.com (My Blog)





As I walked down towards home one day, I heard someone calling my name. I turned back to see who was there. It was an

old friend of mine walking briskly towards me. He had a heavy bag on

his back. "Relax. What are you doing out here at this time? Its…

Is there any IFRS certification that is recognized and have potential values in US? I have checked the certificate programs from ACCA and ICAEW, but I am just not sure if this is worth pursuing. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

You made a smart decision getting the CPA!! The global accounting standards will come together through the adaptation of IFRS in the near future. CPA will be recognized globally and equivalent to other certified/chartered Accountants in other nations regardless the difference in exam formats. Benefits > Costs !!
