Accounting Stream. - DBH - 09-05-2009
Hey guys, This ''Accounting Stream'' thing is bothering me from the beginning. When i went to fill the form for CAT, the assistant there in fortune tower wasn't of any help. I wrote my issue at [email protected], but the reply wasn't of any help either. Let me know if any of you could be of any help at this. I'm going for self-studies, therefore no use of suggesting me to consult my institute.
Also tell me What to select in Tax/Law variant ?
I've chose ''English'', but don't know what exactly have i done.
Quick response would be highly appreciated.

Thats not much big of an issue. Some papers are based on local laws such as tax & corporate law. Each country has different tax systems & different rates of tax; similarly each country has its own corporate laws so you can study these papers (i.e. tax, law etc) of one country. There is no general paper for tax & law.
I don't know that current situation but when I passed the exam there was only english variant available. I suggest you go for the english variant & english tax paper & english corporate law. Reason being that books & practice kits & previous year papers are easily & widely available & you can get help with these variants too. As far as Reporting papers are concerned, I recommend you choose INT (International) variant reason being the same as above & also that INT studies based on IFRS would help you in the future when you'll compete for jobs abroad.
