Commission income

This discussion examines whether Chartered Accountants (CAs) can earn commission from job recruitment companies, particularly when a candidate is successfully placed. It considers the implications for both practicing and non-practicing CAs, noting that such income could be viewed as variable consideration. The general consensus suggests that if employment contracts do not prohibit it, non-practicing CAs are likely free to pursue this, while practicing CAs may also be able to, provided their contracts allow for external activities.
