Hello Guys I have cleared my CA Final Exam and now thinking to apply for COP. I am 31% share holder in a closely held private limited in which there are only 4 share holders (including me) which are all from my family. I am also one of the director of this company. We four share holders and directors regularly draw remuneration from the company. It is a consultancy company in which we provide consultancy for finance, marketing. Now i want to apply for COP and also want to continue as a director in the company as i was before. Is it possible for me to do so? If yes will you please tell me which forms i should feel up and submit to the Institute?
