Specifically, I have the following queries with reference to Chartered Accountants Act : 1. Is trading in shares considered "other business"? When is it not considered "other business"? 2. Will obtaining permission by a CA holding COP to engage in other business (like trading goods, wholesale, restaurant, trading derivatives, etc.) make the applicant ineligible to perform attest functions (audit, signing as CA, etc.)? 3. Can a CA not holding COP or holding part-time COP engage in other business (like trading goods, wholesale, restaurant, trading derivatives, etc.) without performing any attest functions? 4. Can a CA not holding COP or holding part-time COP engage in consultation, tax advisory services, filing services, etc. without performing any attest functions?
