Hello,

Can a CA who has Membership no. and COP but has applied for firm name which has not yet been completed sign an Audit Report? In other words, can a CA just sign any audit report in his individual capacity rather than 'FOR XXX Chartered Accountants : Proprietor/Partner'?

yes it can be done in his indl capacity without any firm's name.I have seen this where a newly qualified CA had signed a tax audit report just specifing his name and membership no.

I think in case of an proprietary concern, the individual CA should affix the Sign Rubber Stamp on the report & then put his signature inside the stamp. This would be a good practice of affixing the rubber stamp with the membership no.

I don’t think in our Ethics there is any requirement regards this.

Is putting a rubber stamp necessary? In other words, if a CA just enters his name, mentions himself as 'Chartered Accountant' and discloses his member ship no. and signs in between the same, is it not sufficient? I mean instead of putting a rubber stamp, can't he he just type the same and take a print?

NO I don't think so, but why you are not in favour of putting a rubber stamp?

It would look odd if a CA does not have its rubber stamp.

Just urgency.. a stamp with the name and membership name along with 'Certified True Copy' won't do I guess its usually used for attestation which is what I have currently.
