CA/CFAs Vs. MBA Finance

The tryst between the CA/CFAs and the MBA Finance seems to be getting worse, with CA/CFA having an edge over the MBA-F.  CA/CFA have in depth knowledge of the subject, as they are more exposed towards it. Whereas an MBA-F student has to diversify in different aspects of the business and hence in terms of knowledge of the finance(2-year course) they face tough competition from the CAs.                                                                     INDUSTRY EXPECTATIONS        
FINANCIAL SERVICES- 
1.Banking
2. Stock market
3. Commodities
4. Debt market
5. Insurance
6. Mutual funds.
CORE FINANCE
 1. Capital budgeting
 2.Capital structure
 3. Working capital managemet                                                                                                                                                                                                                             For the core finance job companies want CAs to take care of the proceedings. They don't generally prefer MBA-F in this area. MBA-F students are employable in area of financial services and for this as well they have to increase their financial base by way of value addition courses like NCFM modules by NSE. So in a way their career is hard but once they get into the corporate world then their 360 degree business knowledge takes them through..... So don't worry ....cheer up :)))))))
