About the Chartered Accountancy Course
Structure
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India periodically reviews its scheme of education and
training to remain in tandem with developments in the field of education and other changes at
the national and global levels. Evolving business and changing environment also demands newer
skills from the accounting professionals. ICAI, being a member body of International Federation
of Accountants (IFAC), has to comply with the International Education Standards [IES 1 to IES 8]

been designed and implemented from July1, 2017.
