Hitting Two Birds with One Stone : Srinivas University B.Com. Model in Corporate Auditing

The parents of many students while admitting their ward in intermediate classes
and undergraduate classes dream to make them Chartered Accountants. CA is most
aspired career goal of many students too. There are two entry opportunities for the
aspirants to get admission. The first opportunity is soon after twelfth standard and second
entry opportunity is after Graduation in any stream. Even if both entries are equally
attractive, students prefer to enter to intermediate level after graduation due to the fact
that graduation is very important to encash other options too in career path. Thus, CA
ambitious students have the challenge to prepare their bachelor degree exams and CA
intermediate exam simultaneously during their undergraduate education studies. To solve
this constraint of the simultaneous study of two courses with the different curriculum,
Srinivas University is starting a B.Com programme in Corporate Auditing with CA
intermediate curriculum as well as B.Com syllabus. The syllabus of B.Com – Corporate
auditing is developed by combining CA intermediate subjects and regular B.Com subjects
with more vigor. The paper contains the details of this new B. Com programme with CA
syllabus including the compulsory information technology subjects, soft skill training for
competitive exams and 4 months full-time internship with the auditors. We have also
discussed the special features, advantages, and benefits of the programme to earn Dual
degree/certification by hitting two birds with one stone.
