10 June 2024 Hello everyone
I am practicing CA since 12 years. Due to some financial issue I am joining a full time employment. 5 days working. I have my team managing things for me since audit work is negligible.

I had joined a job on professional basis and was able to manage both easily although it was 6 days working job.

This new company is an MNC and have due diligence procedures where they can easily find out and in that case I will be terminated. I have received the offer letter and have not yet joined.

I don't want to loose good additional income from practice by just working 1 day a week. Also in future I have intention to practice but right now job is equally important.

What should I do now ?
I have heard about part time COP but don't know how it can help me ? Whether I can keep my firm name although I cannot perform attest function
