Why is a CA articleship for 3 years? Why not one year, or 6 months like other internship programs?

During the course of Chartered Accountancy, one has to sit for an articleship where one gets to experience various facets of auditing and finance. But unlike other internship programs which are generally of six month or a year at maximum, the articleship is of three-year duration. It is because of the vastness of the Chartered Accountancy course, where it takes around one full year into the articleship just to understand the processes before you try your hands into the process. After understanding the processes, next two years are spent in mastering the art of auditing and gaining perfection into it.
