i agree with dashrath... its not advisable to do dummy articleship... the main reason which sets apart CA from all other courses and gives CAs an upper hand is this intensive on the job training....

THAT IS NOT A CORRECT OPTION TO TAKE DUMMY ARTICLESHIP BECAUSE WHEN YOU PASS OUT YOUR'S CA FINAL EXAMS THAN YOUR'S EXPERIENCE WILL REMAIN ZERO .IN THAT TIME YOU ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TAKE ARTICLESHIP FOR GAINING COMPLETE EXPERIENCE OF PRACTICLE ATMOSPHERE OF CA'S PROFESSION

arey, it is completely advsable to do dummy if ur still not a graduate.... complete ur graduation, secure good marks in pcc.. N then in ur last yera of articleship, put in all ur efforts.... Coz its of no use rite now..... Or if u must do articleship, go for part dummy means 3 days a week.... Coz before PCC, studies r more imp than articleship....

Actually this is happning because you are not taking interest in work... This is not a tikking work, you have to analyse the things that why they are happning like this, why a transaction entered in the books and how, is there any other mode to vouvh this... is there any evidence of this, when we should ask for the evidence and who should authorise the transaction etc. etc. thiese are basics of an audit. u hav to ask abt any work u r doing.... and one more and importantthing obey the employees of the auditee always so that they will obey you and ask them abt any thing you are unable to understand about, coz they are having experience and working there from many years so they better know. Always keep yourself down to earth its a life time lesson.
to get interest you CAN go for a special training course, which is of a 3 months course and for 2 hrs a day.
I heard abt this in jaipur.. and I'll give you all detail of the same if u interested.
NOTHING TO SAY NOW, YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND
