I am assuming that the person is a CA and he is a partner in a CA firm.(Only a CA firm can carry out audits)
Clause 11 of Part I of the First Schedule to the CA Act prohibits a practicing CA to be a managing or whole time director in any Company.
Clause 4 of Part I of the Second Schedule to the CA Act prohibits a practicing CA to express his opinion on any financial statements of an enterprise in which, inter alia, he is a director.
So, a CA who is a partner in a firm can be a director in a Co, but he cannot me MD or whole time director.
Further, his CA firm cannot conduct the audit of the Co. in which he is a director.
