Can a chartered accountant lend money? If they do so by asking their spouse (who is not a qualified CA) to lend money to a firm for which he himself is an auditor and the spouse too is working for that firm performing the audit and routinely does consultancy for the firm to whom the money has been lent - is that a conflict of interest? Also, if both the CA and spouse (non CA) share a joint bank account and are also collecting the audit fees and the interest on the loan in the same bank account from the same firm - does that make the lender and the auditor one and the same person (there is apparently no firewall)?

Are there any violations that have been committed? What is the nature of the violations? What is the punishment under ICAI?

Full time practicing Chartered Accountant can be a member in a co operative Society?

Dear Experts,

If Auditor signs Financial Statements of a proprietorship without his ICAI Membership No. & Firm Registration No. , can as a third party, I should view these financial statements not audited or invalid.

Ar ICAI members required to mention their Membership No. & Firm Registration No. everywhere they sign in their capacity as a practising CA. Where is this statutory requirement mentioned?

I am a newly qualified CA.

Me and Other 2 Friends thinking over to start partnership firm all at different places/states.
Karnataka
Maharashtra
Goa

2 of us Recently Registered as Member of ICAI
1 of us is having a membership & proprietorship firm since 2016.

We will be having our own practice in our places, making Partnership just to Gain more work(Like Bank Audits, PSU Audits, Tenders etc)

Will making Partnership Firm give us Edge over Grabbing Work? Also What more we gain when we do Partnership over Proprietorship?
