18 September 2010 hi
i hv many doubts pertaining to cop with job.
when i had filled form 2 initially i had applied for full time cop together with membership and at that time i had no job.
then i got job in big 4 in statutory audit within 12 days after applying for cop n membership.i recently received membership letter 4m institute.
so now whether i need to surrender cop or can i apply for part time cop? Also do i need to intimate icai abt my job in big 4?
will big 4 hv any problem if i hold cop? pls help.
Also pls let me know whats the duration by which i should intimate icai abt my job?
and do big 4 intimate icai about our appointment?
Pls advise me. Thanks...

Big4 can intimate the same to th ICAI regarding ur full time job like CA Firms can do.

Your COP will be taken as Part time COP & hence cannot signed the attestation functions
