Sir, new membership with full time COP, telephonic confirmation by institute without confirming the name of proprietorship firm. Please give advice, 1)whether i can sign the audit report before receiving of COP certificate in Hard copy ? 2) if yes then without confirmation of firm name, in which name audit report will be issue? 3) Whether above CA can issue visiting card and letter head in their personal name until issue of firm name by ICAI?

I would suggest to confirm the name of firm and date from when COP is effective. This could be a breach of prof ethics if you issue audit report before date of issuance of COP and you will not have any proof of telephonic conversation.
I would suggest you not ot put your memebrship on preil. wait for sometime.
Or drop am email/ FAX to memebership section and COP and get confirmation in writing.
