Guidance for selection of department for articleship in big4

Swarna prabha (CA in the making) (59 Points)

10 September 2012  

Dear teachers, seniors, friends, please guide!

There are few questions regarding articleship:

The Big Four's say that a student can only pursue articleship in one of the departments throughout for the 3 years,
i.e. 3 years in auditng or 3 years in taxation.

1. Is it true? Can't we change departments in between?
2.If, it is true, which department is more preferable, Auditing or Taxation?
3.If we are able to change departments, should we first opt for

  • first auditing, then taxation

OR

  • first taxation, then auditing.

 

Your inputs would be very helpful.

Thankyou.
