COP

IF Chartered Accountant is not holding COP, can he be partner in a CA firm?

 

If yes/no, can you just quote the relevant reference?

 

Thanks

NO. Without COP, A CA cannot act as a partner in a CA Firm. He must hold COP for practising as a CA either individuallly or in partnership.

no he cant be a partner in a firm . he needs to hold COP under the regulations of chartered accountants act 1949. only then he is eligible to become a partner...

Chartered accountant can be associated with a CA firm in 2 ways -1st Paid assistant and 2nd as a partner.

Paid assistant means simply a person is in employment but when taking into consideration the provision of CA regulations only practising CA can be partner. So COP isreqd.

No ,a CA cannot be a partner without holding COP.
