I have completed my CA Ipcc both groups with good marks and joined in a medium sized articleship firm on feb 23rd 2012. The firm in which i am doing articleship also has a company which makes accounts, payroll, TDS returns, Pancards, etc to other companies. From the start of my articleship, I have been assigned the work of doing accounts of the clients in tally. I have been sent to only two audits so far which lasted only 3 days. I have only been verifying the cash, bank and journal vouchers for these companies. Nearly 7 months have passed and i have not really gained any considerable knowledge except for working in tally.I am not understanding where my career path is going. But feel this is not right. Is this common in articleship? If not what is the solution? Please help me

In the first 12 months it is usual to be assigned these kinds of work, however since you have crossed assessment year, [the Income Tax filing dates (i.e. July 31 & Now Changed to August)], then you should have known those tax workings and e-filing. But Don't worry you will be given the complete branch audit of a company after 15 to 18 months of experience.
