I qualified as CA in May11. I applied for membership in july and for COP in august,11.
Now my status on members' search is showing not holding COP and when I called bombay office today, they told my COP is activated from 25-8-11 i.e. on the date of submisstion of COP application with draft.
I wish to sign audit report.
Can I sign the same in My Individual Capacity with my membership number?
Institute people have called that My letter regarding COP will be received soon.

Might be the website of the ICAI members search is not updated. So if it confirmed from the ICAI officials that you are holding COP then you can sigh the Audit Report from date of COP.
Yes, you can sign it in Individual name only as there is no firm name taken by you.
