Dear Members of CCI,
Sub : Continue or Change articleship
I am really confused about my present articleship. I am in my first year of articleship.
I started to work here since June 2012. I work for a mid size firm.
It has over 10 but less than 20 company audits, but dozens of Proprietorship and partnership firms.
But overall, every client of us is a small one in its industry. As far as compliance is concerned, as you all know what level of compliance could a small company or firm face. Not much is found here.
I have done:
1. Company, partnership, proprietorship audit and accounts preparation.
2. Very few service tax audits and VAT.
But the query is, whether knowledge gained through present articleship is sufficient or as a trainee should i have to learn much more. I feel I am wasting time here, I almost sit idle during some days. Since my auditor is more into VAT he is not considering tax audits and statutory audits.
I am interested in learning more, frankly speaking I am unaware of what is more and what is less. What the industry is expecting from a CA ? What all is required for a successful career ?
Kindly advice me on these issues.
