Article-ship Vs Paid Assistant(Urgent)

10249 views 11 replies

Hi Everybody,

I am awaiting IPCC group-1 results, I recently came to know that even before clearing IPCC group 1,one can enroll for articleship thats called "Paid-Assistent" or "Paid-Clerk"

The work experience gained as a Paid-Assistent will be counted as the experence of the articles.Also, 8 months of "Paid Articleship" is equivalent to 6 months of "Article-ship" training.

It can be done after obtaining due permission from the Chapter.

The edge here is that a student after clearing cpt can go for practicle training in a C.A firm instead of sitting at home and by the time he clears IPCC ,he will be done with a lot of Article-ship experience.

@ experts--Kindly provide further details about it

Thanks,Sandeep Malik

I didnt heard of such facility available. Anyway, the details available in CA website is reproduced below for your information.

Under the Present Scheme of Education & Training three years of articleship training has been designed to strike a balance between theoretical education and practical training. A student can also undergo audit training. Eight months of audit training is treated as equivalent to six months of articleship training.

Hey Krishna,Thanks for the reply...

 

As mentioned by u "A student can also undergo audit training. Eight months of audit training is treated as equivalent to six months of articleship training."

 

I wanted to know if I can start this articleship training even before completing/passing IPCC group 1

 

Thanks :)


hi sandy,

the first thing is that the articleship training can be started after passing 1st group of IPCC, not CPT

 

i.e u can not join a CA for articleship purpose before result.

 

Furthur as said by you regarding paid assistent.

there is no such provision.

 

 

& The 8 months of audit assistent tarining (not paid assistent training) under a ca is equivalent to 6 months of articleship training

Hey Dheeraj, Thanks for the clarification :)

 

Plesae let me know more about this Audit Assistent training.Also,please state whether it can be started before passing "IPCC group 1" or "Inter"

  @ Ankur Garg Sir,Please provide your valuable thoughts on this 

@ All,Is there anybody who is doing "Audit Assistent training" and not "Articleship" 

 

Looking forward for your help :)  Thanks:)

Heloo...Any update on it  ??

i also heard about this..but i have confirmed this from ICAI Vishwas nagar...u can start only after IPCC group 1...but still not clear with this "the student can also undergo audit training. Eight months of audit training is treated as equivalent to six months of articleship training."

Hi,

Sandy, is it true that Before clearing IPCC group one can go for Articleship, if any source please provide me the link for articleship before clearing IPCC group One.

"the student can also undergo audit training. Eight months of audit training is treated as equivalent to six months of articleship training."

This is wrongly understood.Audit(Paid) Assistant is different from Article Assistant.I too worked in a firm as a paid assistant for 1.3years.I cleared my inter in May 2012.So went and enquired about this in CA Institute. They told me:

Audit Assistant training Period is for 4 years.One would become eligible for that

  1.When he completes one year of training under a chartered accountant after completing his graduation or CPT(Eligibility Criteria)

2. After Clearing Inter(IPCC/PCC),He can register for Audit Assistant with the institute (Which is for 4years after clearing your Inter).

3.After Registering as Audit Assistant  if  you think to be Article Assistant and not Audit Assistant below provision is considered

"Eight months of audit training is treated as equivalent to six months of articleship training."(Sadly since 1982,only 2 or 3  people has done this Audit Assistant Training).

This is the Exact thing about Audit training 8 months=articleship 6monthd

hiii everybody,

              I want to know.

            what  is diffrence between article assistants and paid assistants ??

             I have cleared both group with A.I.R. in may 2013. 

             what I do ?
