Integrated
Professional Competence Course (IPCC).....
In this IPCC
curriculum only working knowledge of core and allied subjects to accountancy
profession is covered, while at the Final (New) course, advanced application
knowledge of core and allied subjects to accountancy profession has been
intended to be inculcated. The unique feature of the entire theoretical
education of the Chartered Accountancy curriculum is the supportive and
complementary practical training. A student would undergo theoretical education
and 3 years of practical training after passing Group-I of IPCC/Accounting
Technician (Level-1). This balanced approach will help the students to
appreciate the underlying practical applications of the theoretical education
scheme. Neither a stand-alone theory nor a practice without theoretical
knowledge would make a professional successful. Moreover, there is a need to
develop proper understanding of the business environment and information
technology which acts as an important business process driver. It is also
essential to sharpen communication skills to be able to work successfully in the
competitive business environment. Accordingly, the existing scheme is being
revamped and a new scheme is launched on December 10, 2008.
