my friend first be a cop and know what, how and when a thief does thigs and handles situations successfully, then try them out when u need, similarly learn the way the clients does things tactfully and yet doest get cornored due to various loopholes in the act or law or any other provision that guides his statements and then when you go to employment implement them and handle your auditors then you will be a sheild to you company. dont underestimate the atricleship tenure, there can never be a better option then it to learn practically and yet not carry any risk. since there is always a genious mind (ur princeple ) to guide u and by pass the risk.
