Are you kidding ! or is that a genuine question ?? anyways..
Clerks and book keepers is one thing.. I think every accountancy student must be clear on that
Munshi is quite some thing else, Munshi was the designation used for a person who was more of an office manager your equivalent of a Finance and Admin Manager (minus double entry accounting, IFRS and all the technicalities these days). Important thing to remember, Munshis practised the dying art of Single entry accounting (sort of cash basis) on to 'KHATA's'. And different professional families (as in past) had developed their own scripts/terms and shorthands etc.
I think CFA is quite different all together, you don't have to be an accountant to ba a CFA,, and is got nothing to do with accounting anyways.
