On the road to riches..
Yalini Sivaraman, CA Intermediate, Articled clerk
The road that led me among both beauty and Obstacles. A teenager driven to be a professional yet unsure of the way forward. The CA journey brought numerous significant challenges, such as juggling classes with self-study time, and it also instilled an understanding of patience’s strength. The breadth of knowledge was consistently scrutinized before being put to the test in practice. This taught me the considerable effort required to pass an exam.
True learning began during the article ship, where theoretical figures became real financial amounts needing verification. Tax provisions that once earned marks became actual filings to prevent errors and avoid audits, all while representing the client. Deadlines, once merely dates to recall, became etched in my mind as the time to file client returns, highlighting the significant consequences of defaults that could lead to substantial penalties. Responsibility and accountability moved from the audit textbooks to reality. This transformation will always stand out as a pivotal moment in my life.
