16 August 2010 A chartered Accountant can be a partner in two or more firms.

In your case, it is like that you will join Big4 as an employee, so your current COp will be converted from Full Time COP to Part Time COP.

The forms avaialble on the ICAI site are for

Getting COP > Form No. 6
Restoration of COP > Form 101

There is no form for the surrendor of COP or converting Full time ot Part time COP. My knowledge says that just intimate ICAI, through an application for the joining of your employment and request for conversion from Full Time COP to Part Time COP.

Also, in both the forms , it is mentioned that the CA will duly inform the ICAI for cessation of COP. The relevant form is not mentioned for that purpose. So , i think plain application with teh ackowledgement is enough.

Experts views are solicited....

16 August 2010 Yes , In my view that is enough.
But submit the copy in duplicate and get the ackowldgement stamp from the ICAI on one copy.
