Entering into Unknown Realms and Broadening Our Outlook

Abstract

People in the field of accountancy with professional qualifications of CA/CMA/CS, become specialists in the profession and generally become complacent with acquiring the professional qualification. It is also common to see that many try to acquire double or even triple qualifications amongst these three professional qualifications. However, after acquiring these qualifications, these men become busy in their chosen area and stop acquiring further knowledge due to various pressures. The highly specialized professionals are however lacking in language skills and various other aspects. In this article, the importance of growing knowledge in other areas beyond the profession of Finance/ accountancy is emphasized. Some examples from literature were also narrated to give an insight. Professional Institutes offering CA/CMA/CS degrees may also think in this direction to encourage their members to emulate successful people who have acquired varied skills.
