Controversies Related to CFA
ICFAI and CFA Institute, USA have been embroiled in a legal battle both in India and USA over the right to use the designation Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). It all started when ICFAI launched its CFA program suitable for Indian financial sector and Indian capital markets along with AIMR (erstwhile name of CFA Institute).It has no working relationship with the present CFA Institute or AIMR whatsoever and functions independently as a Society registered under Indian Socites ACT and has established private universities in several Indian states. One of such universities under ICFAI umbrella, ICFAI University Tripura confers Masters of Financial Analysis (MFA) degree and CFA Charter to its students. This degree and CFA Charter are valid under the Indian law and the degree is recognised by UGC. On the other hand AICTE barred CFA Institute from conducting its examinations in India2 and the matter is still sub-judice.
