News - CA Competency Map
The CA profession has recently undertaken a detailed analysis of the
core knowledge and skills expected of CAs by business, government, and
the public. Working with many members, clients and employers, many clear
expectations - or competencies - of our profession have been identified.
These competencies are laid out in The CA Competency Map. The Map is
now being used as the basis for our new qualification process, and will
be used in the continuing development and enhancement of our CPD Program.
The CA Competency Map provides a profile of the CA profession, not
of the individual CA. It can, however, prove useful in shaping your
own CPD opportunities to meet your career goals. As a first step, this
year we have identified our courses into the six specific competency
areas of The CA Competency Map:
