Every learned profession have a professional dignity and integrity. It is the duty of each members of the profession to maintain these things of the profession. So the chartered Accountant is also a learned professional and it is his duty to maintain its intergrity and reputation with his conduct. So any act of the members which are against this principle is a misconduct. Simply saying when a member undertake any misconduct by not doing an activity which he is professionally bound to do it may be termed as Professional Misconduct and the rest is other misconduct.
