CA Information Session with Sheetal Gupta

On Monday, September 10th, 2012, The APAA was honoured to have Sheetal Gupta from the ICAO visit York University and deliver an informative speech about the ICAO and the CA designation.

This Information Session was an eye opener in the sense that I learned so many things that I did not know beforehand about the ICAO and CA designation. Sheetal talked about the steps that a person must take in order to acquire their CA. They are required to complete the 51 CA course credits and then write the CKE, SOA, and then UFE. I also learned that the CA designation offers many travel opportunities which I love because travelling is around the world is one of my dreams. I also learned that CAs have the opportunity to be very successful. Sheetal showed us that many famous CEO’s of major corporations are also Chartered Accountants. Therefore, I saw that CAs are one the important decision makers in corporations. At the end of the information session, Sheetal made this Information Session fun and interactive. Students were asked questions and were given prizes for answering the question. Students were also given the opportunity to ask Sheetal questions and network.

By the end of the information session, I KNEW that becoming a CA is what I want to do.
