The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICWAI) has decided to bring reforms in the Certificate in Accounting Technicians (CAT) Course.
As part of this, the Institute has recently approved the revised syllabus to the course. Further, the Institute has started online admissions and promotional activities to the course.
“I am glad to inform you that the Council of the Institute has approved the revised syllabus of the CAT course. The revision of the syllabus has been done in line with dynamic financial and economic environment of the country. The study material will soon be updated in view of the revised syllabus,” CMA Amit Anand Apte, the President of the Institute said.
In his statement, the ICWAI Chief said that the CAT Directorate has begun the online admissions of CAT Course. “The initiative will save precious time and cost of students. I would like to urge prospective students, ROCCs and Chapters to embrace the online admission procedure for the CAT course, the offline procedure will remain intact, though. I would like to thank Chairman-CAT, Directorate of CAT and IT Department for putting their efforts in making the online-admission system for the CAT course operational,” he said.
The students of the CAT course have been important assets of the Directorate of CAT, and to strengthen them has always been at the core of the Directorate’s functioning. The Chairman-CAT had an interactive session through a webinar with the students registered in Certificate in Accounting Technicians (CAT) course on March, 6, 2019 to know more about their problems and the issues faced by them. During the webinar, students also gave suggestions for improvement in the CAT course.
Further, the CAT Directorate has declared the month of April 2019 as CAT Promotion Month. The Chairman-CAT requests all the employees of the CAT Directorate, ROCCs, Chapters, and Regional Council to organize career counselling workshops by visiting Colleges and Schools in order to get a good number of admissions in CAT Course. The employee concerned will be suitably appreciated.
To attract more and more youth on-board, the Institute appeals to the Regional Councils, Chapters, Recognized Coaching Centers (ROCCs), Members to rope in the volunteers for promotion of the CAT course and to further enhance the admissions. A “Certificate of Appreciation” will be given to the volunteers.
