Date: 14-Aug-2002
Question: I am an aspiring Chartered Accountant and I am appearing for the Final examination this November. I am just planning to do my course on Information and Systems Audit (shortly known as CISA). Kindly can you please let me know on the career Opportunities and pay package for the same in the job market. I know that I am going out of your way in asking a clarification in this regard but I would be extremely thankful to you if you can help me in this regard so that I could decide on whether I can do the course. Expecting a reply from you. Thank you.
Answer: Most jobs like to determine the basic qualifications. Courses are more of tie breakers when it comes to selection between equivalent candidates. It is more useful to train your self on communication and build cross cultural adaptability in your self.

When it comes to hiring a fresh person, whichever profession, what is seen first is conceptual clarity, a 'will do' attitude and a 'can do' approach. Good knowledge of international accounting systems will help you to have an edge. In today's global operations, companies will prefer people who have good understanding of international rules, regulations, procedures and requirements. Such knowledge will enhance pay packages.
