This course is designed keeping in mind the Indian financial system and therefore offers more of a local flavor than the CFA Institute's program. ICFAI is a Private Institute and Indian CFAs need not be employed mandatorily by Indian companies. The ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India), ICWAI (Institute of Cost and Works Accountants of India) and ICSI (Institute of Company Secretaries of India) are all Apex bodies in their respective fields and are statutory bodies under an Act of the Parliament of India. The Indian CFA Program addresses the broader financial and managerial issues in the areas of Corporate Finance, International Finance, Investment Management and Financial Services. The CFA Program offered by ICFAI has been developed and is consistently reviewed in the context of the present and future needs of the corporate sector, the investment industry and the financial services sector in India.
