CA with full time cop, not in practice and taking up consultancy work

This discussion clarifies whether a Chartered Accountant (CA) holding a full-time Certificate of Practice (COP) can engage in consultancy work, even if they are not actively practising. The consensus is that this is permissible, provided the consultancy does not involve any certification activities. It's suggested that highlighting these hybrid skills on a CV could be beneficial, particularly when consulting for banks.
