I am a practicing chartered accountant at present. I have been approached by promoters of a public limited company to join them as a director on their board as "Professional Director" or "Whole Time Director" or as "CFO" of their company.
I have a doubt if I can continue my practice by holding COP and also continue on board of this company as director or not? If I can do so, in which capacity - Professional Director / Whole Time Director / CFO / Other Capacity? What are the rules & regulations of ICAI in this regard? Specific approval of council required in this case or not?
Please advise. Prompt reply will be highly appreciated.

Promoters want me to get hold of Financial Control of the group as a whole. I can not be considered as Non Executive in that case, right? and as Independent director, I can not deal with Financial Business (means signing authority). Please clarify.
