My articleship is ending this November 2011. I have a extension of about 4-5 months. But i have worked for long hours in office. We also maintained a office dairy. I have recorded my office timings in the dairy. Now on calculation of total working hours my extension gets reduced to 1 month.

1. Now the main question is are working hours really counted in Articleship?

2. If Yes then is there a method presribed by ICAI for calculation of working hours?

3. Are there fields/columns in the Form for completion of Articleship?

4. Are full 24 hours to be counted as working hours in Outstation Audits?

There are lots of other questions as well. I request you all to please help me as this matter as we all know is very important to us.
