Internal Audit v/s Direct Taxation


27 October 2008 I am a PCC article. My querry is that at this level of CA what is the best field to my pursue articleship into, is it internal audit or direct taxation (basically income tax & all that). Currently I'm doing my articleship in a mid-sized firm.
I have just cleared CPT in June '08, have done my graduation in Eco.(H) from DU and cleared 12th in commerce stream.

So basically which one of them provides us more learning and has more value in the market.
Mostly importantly considering the fact that which one of them would be the best for me to do at current level of being a PCC article.

And is it true as some people say that if at PCC level you do your articleship in internal audit only, then after clearing PCC exams & enter CA final articleship and apply into big 4 firms they would preferably put you into or offer you to continue your articleship into internal audit only and not into taxation, because at PCC level you have done internal audit only so they would offer you that field only...?? Is this true...??

Any replies would be really appreciated.

28 October 2008 i WOULD RECOMMEND YOU JOIN MEDIUM SIZED fIRM AND NOT CONSENTRATE TOO MUCH ON BIG FOURS

29 October 2008 My opinion is Direct Taxation gives you more life. During your articleship, undestand the corporate taxation and various areas indepth. Lern these from the basic. this will help you a lot.


31 October 2008 Mr.Bosu & Mr.Venkat first of all thanks for your reply.

Mr.Bosu I'm already working in a mid-sized firm. But the problem is that the firm I'm working in has internal audits only. That's why I'm doing internal audit only. And that is also the reason why I have raised the above querry of Internal; Audit v/s Direct Taxation.

Mr.Venkat I intended to know about articleship at current level of my PCC articleship because I haven't done taxation yet, as in college too I did Eco.(H).
And that's why I want to know whether if I do only internal audit for the moment and later after PCC apply into big 4 for further articleship with this experience, will they allow me into or offer me my CA Final articleship into taxation department...?? Or they will offer me internal audit only, for the reason that I have did my PCC articleship in internal audit only (& nothing else in it)>>> Is this true of such a thing to happen...??

>>> And most importantly which one of them has more value in the market...??

Your & all other expert's guidance would really be valuable to me. As it would help me in taking some really important career decisions.
