18-year-old Ramkumar Raman, from Dubai, of South Indian origin, has been touted as the youngest Chartered Accountant (CA) in the world. He has been recognised by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the global professional accounting body in the Gulf as being the youngest ACCA affiliate ever to have registered among all of the other candidates, members and affiliates.
What comes across as remarkable it that Raman managed to clear all the 14 papers in his first attempt.
It is said that Ramkumar Raman, who graduated from the Indian High School, Dubai, is now looking to pursue an MBA in the United States of America, and prospectively enter the field of investment banking.
