27 February 2008 Hi I am CA, cleared in Nov 2007.I have been working as Insurance agent from August 2007. Now I have a doubt that can I, as a CA, continue my agency of insurance or not? Whether professional etics is applicable? Or if I want to continue my agency, then Can I get membership number or COP?

Hoping early reply.
Thanking you.

27 February 2008 TO DO INSURANCE AGENCY,THE PROFESSIONAL EHICS AND CODE OF CONDUCT UNDER C.A REGUALATIONS IS APPLICABLE IF YOU ARE A PRACTICING C.A MEMBER.
BUT IF YOU ARE IN JOB AND DO NOT OFFICIALLY DECLARE YOUR OTHER OCCUPATIONS LIKE INSURANCE, THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
I FIND A FEW C.As taking up such jobs in the name of their spouses or mother or father or sister or brother.
if possible in your case, do that. then there will be no MENTAL botheration of a clash of professinal and personl interest.
