This variant is purpose-built for CAs, CMAs, and MBA Finance graduates who already have a solid grounding in accounting and corporate finance. Financial Statement Analysis and Corporate Issuers (now Corporate Finance) are delivered as review-only revision modules instead of full core re-teaching - cutting ~95 hours and re-routing prep time to Equities, Fixed Income, Derivatives, Quants, and the 2027 re-segmented Ethics.
