Joinning the lucrative profession of chartered accountants will take a year-and-a-half less than currently needed for students who have completed higher secondary education. The new curriculum, which the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has adopted, cuts short the training period from nearly five-and-a-half years to four. It is also designed to mould a CA into an IT-savvy professional. The new curriculum will come into force next year. As per the accounting standard setter’s council decision earlier this month, CA students can begin the three-and-a-half years’ training called articleship right after higher secondary education
BPO May Hire More Lawyers The recent Sun Karan Bahri case underlines the need for complying in letter and spirit with the various laws, rules and regulations on outsourcing activity. One fallout of the case, I believe, will be that BPO companies will hire more law consultants. There aren’t any figures in this regard. However, given the fact that the Karan Bahri case has enhanced awareness on legal compliance in the domestic sector and the target jurisdiction, this trend is very likely. The consultants would ensure that their activities comply legally. All this is not to say that compliances in BPO companies were inadequate earlier.

Thumbs up to Outsourcing homework Preeti Shah spends eight hours a day doing school projects. But make no mistake—this isn't some overburdened Class X student one is talking about but a south Mumbai housewife who charges a fee to do professional projects for schoolchildren. "I started out seven years ago by doing projects for my own children,'' she says. "They got such high marks that other parents approached me." Today, Preeti—whose business card actually reads ‘For Making School and College Projects and Notes'—has a flourishing trade, given the thousands of parents and children who see nothing improper about outsourcing homework. "With three tests a week in school, I have no time to do my own projects," says a Class VII student who gives her projects to professionals.

Smart tips to stay in Boss' Good books
Contrary to popular opinion, you don’t need to move heaven and earth to make your boss respect you and appreciate your work. And no, you don’t have to always be the ‘yes man’ either. Just a few basic tips will help you impress those who matter.
Don’t ask questions you can answer Yes
It’s comforting to ask your boss when you lack confidence or feel you need his approval, but next time, ask yourself first: “Will he be able to answer this any better than I can?” In most cases, probably not. You know your job better than anyone else. Be resourceful and think things through first.

Solutions, not problems
Don’t go to your boss with a problem if you haven’t spent at least 10 minutes thinking of possible solutions. It will impress your boss if you go to him with a tricky issue, and then suggest ways to resolve it.

Never apologise Yes
Never apologise Yes, you read right, because there’s a right way to say sorry without actually stammering out the apology. Starting off with an apology makes you look weak. Next time you make a mistake, try this: “I think this project could have been better.” Or “In retrospect, I think I should have done it differently.” Or “Next time I will...” Your boss will be impressed and focus on what you’ve learned rather than what you’ve done wrong.
Don’t get emotional
Don’t ever send an email in a moment of anger or frustration. It’s tempting to reply immediately after reading an email that angers or upsets you. Write your response immediately, but don’t send it. Wait at least half-an-hour, then re-read the original email and your response. Nine times out of 10, you will have calmed down and can send a much more constructive and considered response. Your boss will admire your diplomacy.
Go beyond the call of duty
Take on new challenges. Sometimes, the best way to find your calling is by trying new things. You may well learn something new and your boss will be impressed by your ‘team spirit’, and remember that you pitched in to help.

Ask for and give feedback
Communication works both ways and we all respond well to positive feedback. If there’s something that your boss does that you like, tell him/her. Something as simple as saying “I appreciated your support in that meeting” will make him sit up and take notice of how his/her actions affect you. Positive feedback will reinforce the behaviour and will improve your working relationship with your boss.
Stop whingeing
We all need to let off some steam every now and then, but your colleagues and boss will notice if you’re always the instigator. Like the boy who cried wolf, how will your boss ever know when there’s a real problem? Your boss will respect you more if you pick and choose your battles and steer clear of ‘group whingeing’.
Be proactive
We all have lots of suggestions on how to improve things at work or ideas for new projects. It’s no use sending your boss a list of ideas, as it’s likely that none of them will actually happen unless you also take responsibility. Pick one or two of the best ideas and follow through with them. Your boss will not only admire your innovative thinking, but also the initiative you've taken to make them happen.
