One of my Friend has cleared his CA Final in May 2011 exam, holding COP and got his Proprietorship firm registered at ICAI. Now he is providing professional services in a listed company and getting professional fees on monthly basis. (i.e. he is not on payroll).

Now that company want to send my friend to other state on behalf of the company so can he sign the some documents on behalf of the company as authorized signatory???

If he do so does he fall under any clauses of professional misconduct under the ICAI Act,1949.

Kindly reply on urgent basis.

Thanks in advance........

Your friend is giving services to the company in a professional capacity and not as employee. In my opinion, he cannot sign any document on behalf of company as authorised signatory unless he has been given authority for the purpose of representation before any govt. authorities. However, he can continue to give professional services in the other state like in present state and in the other state also, he can represent the company before any govt. authorities with the authority given by the company.
