Oh without any doubts, i am in no ways negative about ultimately becoming a CA!! Will keep fighting till i become. I know i have the passion & the knowledge. Just that Luck needs to click at the right time.And right now, i am fulfilling my hobbies - getting to know quite a few interesting things from here. Like i am experimenting with Mint. Can be helpful coz small orgs, who dont want to go piracy way, prefer open source stuff.Lastly being free-lancer, i was out of Mumbai recently for that reason only. My principal needed my service temporarily, even though my term with him was over. So i went there and did the work. But now i have to search hard for getting more such people. Process is on, but still until i find such a job, i dont like sitting home idle.Yes, financially we are sound, but then sitting at home at an age to work........

then do some crash courses ... if you are interested in photography there is crash course in that of a week .. some more certificate to add ons on your knowledge .. there are many small courses in taxation and other fields ..now a days dual certification is also preferred so you can think about combination of CS or ICWA with CA am insisting you on study as once we start race behind money we can't concentrate much on study so this is right time for you to study

Why dont you even take up certifications like PMP & learn about ISO? There are many things which will help you in CA field. Trust me, After working for more than 5 years in corporate world, Now I feel that I should have more degrees or certifications.
About other certifications, i have my eyes set on:
1) CFP - If i do it after CA, i have to give Only 1 Paper, that too, with a Challenge Status. But now if i do, i have to give 5 of them, and for Challenge Status, i have to have 3 years experience.
2) FRM - Might seem petty, but if registration is done in January/February, then there are really good discounts. So i am pretty firm that whatever i am doing, i will be surely doing this in Jan 2012.
3) CFA (Intl) - Very costly. I attempt costs u in 5 figured amounts. Dont exactly remember their fee structure, coz i will think on it only when i earn good money. Cant rely on Dad's money for these things.
My problem is that after CA, the courses that i should do to get an edge, are demanding premium amounts. Anything below it, is inconsequential.
But yes ur idea about some certifications is worth it. Will be looking for those around the internet, so that i can claim specialisations at Interviews. And certifications not just in Finance/Taxation line, i think Software related ones can also come in handy, coz we have a relatively Nascent field developing fast in Information Systems Control & Audit.

Thanks for sharing the link. I have heard of this before.......but 1 attempt and its 16-18k blown off......money is a huge constraint thats stopping me right now from the other courses.
----------
PS: I am just checking out ACCA & IFRS courses......
----------
As expected these command premium. 160 GBP per attempt for IFRS.......and ACCA qualification course nowhere available in Mumbai.
This is a nagging drawback of selecting a benchmark course. Once u join it, the other qualifications to be obtained command premium.
In the meantime, i have registered on few sites which claim to connect us to employers in need of temporary staff, lets see if i get any response from there.

Yeah the ones i have listed above are pretty certain qualifications i am targeting in future. Even while working, i will keep studying these things to strengthen my resume.
And thanks for the wishes!!

@ almon, No.
We have this very much relating to our field. When we go for Audit as an external auditor, we have to establish a reliability regarding controls over the Info Systems of the clients. Even when we go as internal auditors, we have the responsibility to suggest measures to strengthen controls & checks in the Systems.
U must be well aware that ranging from lower mid size to huge institutions, all are more or less reliant on Computers to maintain accounts, generate documents, etc. In such cases, we have to modify to adapt to the changed environment.
In fact it is so advanced that orgs outsource the work of accounting to other firms. I am aware of Accenture doing that work.
