07 February 2013i am currently working in a firm that handles audit of gold loans & stock brokers.My query is that should i go for articleship here or instead go for regular statutory audit?Im afraid that by doing articleship here,i will have less opportunuities after becoming a CA as this area of audit is not commonly found.

It is better to go for any other audit firm having all types of cliens. U can get exposure to all areas.
Wish u all the best.

that is true Neeti, you can specialise in that field, but as a student, you should grab an experience in all the areas...like tax, stat audit, internal audit, tax audit...etc..
you should know little about everything.....

thanks ankit.
I have work experience of tax audit,as i have worked in a ca firm for a year.my experience was bad,because we were only trained in basic tax audit & our sir did not encourage us to learn new things,if i wanted to take up vat or service tax,i was told it is not 'my field'. this may not apply to all firms but i've head many of my frnds say that this is a general practise.
