Accounting & Commerce

Hi Sri,
By what you say, I infer that you have completed your CMA.
Generally, CA and CS are the two most common courses pursued alongside CMA.
Apart from these two, MBA in finance will be a good option that you can opt for as your skills in cost along with what you learn in MBA finance will help you in the long run.
Further, in MBA you learn various presentation skills which were missing in the CMA course.
Also, you can check for various MoA's entered by the Institute with various institutes outside India, whereby they provide the foreign equivalent degrees with lesser efforts.
Also, you can check out FRM and other certification courses by various institutes across the country.
All the best.

For those considering a career in investment, the question of whether to obtain a CFA or Masters in Finance designation has always arisen. Both have their pluses, as both degrees provide knowledge about the financial industry. However, there is a substantial difference between them. While the Masters in Finance provides more general knowledge and is better suited for those who practise in more general fields in the business and financial sector, the CFA programme is particularly tailored to those who need more specialised skills, such as investment analysis, portfolio strategy and asset management.
