audit or tax


This query is : Resolved 

22 May 2008 hi
i am a ca student cleared my cpt and ready for articleship training.i got a firm ready to give me articleship training but the problem is they have asked me to select one field i.e. auditing or taxation or advisory.i am not able to understand what to choose and why?

22 May 2008 Go for auditing, it will be comprehensive. However pls look for more opinion.

22 May 2008 THE PROOF OF A PUDDING IS IN ITS EATING ONLY.
IF ONLY AUDITING OR ONLY TAX OR ONLY ADVISORY IS FORCED ON YOU , YOU HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE EXCEPT TO STRUGGLE AND SHINE IN RESPECTIVE FIELD.
SIMILARLY,IF YOU TAKE UP AUDIT OR TAX OR ADVISORY,IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO YOUR CAREER AS LONG AS YOU STRIVE AND PROVE YOURSELF IN THAT FIELD.
ASK YOURSELF WHAT DO YOU WISH TO BE AFTER 5 YEARS FROM NOW? TAX EXPERT?AUDIT EXPERT?ADVISOR?
TAX IS SPECIALISED AND NEEDS REGULAR UPDATION.
AUDIT TECHNIQUES ALSO NEED UPDATION. BUT IN AUDIT- THE TECHNIQUES DONT CHANGE AS FAST OR AS FREQUENTLY AS IN TAX.
ADVISORY AGAIN NEEDS NOT ONLY SKILL IN UPDATION AND BASIC TECHNIQUES BUT ALSO COMMUNICATION AND PRESENTION SKILLS.

IF YOU HAVE OR LIKE TO HAVE A LEGAL AND UPDATING MIND SET, GO FOR TAX. IT IS CHALLENGING AND EXCITING ALSO.
OR ELSE AUDIT IS NEXT BEST.
ADVISORY NEEDS A DEMANDING FRAME OF MIND AND NEEDS CONSTANT INTERACTION WITH CLIENT REQUIREMENT.
NOW DECIDE WHICH IS YOUR CUP OF TEA?
WHERE DO YOU WISH TO BE 3/5 YEARS FROM NOW? THAT IS ANSWER TO YOUR QUERY.
