GUIDELINES FOR PRACTICE IN CORPORATE FORM
To empower the members to face the emerging challenges in the service sector as well as to equip them for the opportunities in the non-audit service area, the Council decided to allow members in practice to hold the office of Managing Director, Whole-time Director or Manager of a body corporate within the meaning of the Companies Act, 1956 provided that the body corporate is engaged exclusively in rendering Management Consultancy and Other Services permitted by the Council in pursuant to Section 2(2)(iv) of the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 and complies with the conditions(s) as specified by the Council from time to time in this regard.
The members can retain full time Certificate of Practice besides being the Managing Director, Whole-time Director or Manager of such Management Consultancy Company. There will be no restriction on the quantum of the equity holding of the members, either individually and/or along with the relatives, in such Company. Such members shall be regarded as being in full-time practice and therefore can continue to do attest function either in individual capacity or in Proprietorship/Partnership firm. They are also entitled to train articled/audit assistants.
Management Consultancy Company means a Company which complies with the Guidelines for Practice in Corporate Form issued by the Institute. Management Consultancy & Other Services or MCS means ‘Management Consultancy & Other Services’ permitted by the Council in pursuance to Section 2(2)(iv) of the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949.
