- Evaluation and Assessment are central to determining the competence of CA students. Consequently, you will be assessed continually throughout your development – in your university programs, in the professional education programs, and on the job. All CA candidates must sit the Uniform Evaluation (UFE). The UFE is the most important element in the continual process of developing, assessing, and judging the level of your knowledge, skills and professional values against those required by a CA. This three-day evaluation gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your professional competency by responding to simulated business challenges of the kinds likely to be faced by newly qualified CAs.
Education, Experience, and Evaluation - these three elements ensure that, when you earn your CA designation, you will have acquired all the competencies that the marketplace demands from a Chartered Accountant. FAQ's about the CA Qualification Process
