Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a practicing Chartered Accountant (CA) is disqualified from auditing a private company if their father works in the company's accounts department, but not in a Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) or Director role. The consensus suggests no disqualification under Section 141(3) or the CA Act 1949, as the father's position doesn't meet the criteria for disqualification. However, it's advised that CAs document their independence assessment to avoid perceived conflicts of interest.

Yes, because he is not KMP as per Companies Act

As a best practice, CAs should document their assessment of independence and ensure no conflicts of interest are perceived in the performance of their duties as auditors.
