Professional Misconduct

A person (Mr. N) is disqualified u/s 164(2) from being appointed as a Director
but the auditor has not checked the Director's Qualification and audited other companies wherein the Mr.N is a Director.


Is the auditor guilty of Professional Misconduct.?

If yes under which clause & schedule??

Quick Summary
This discussion examines whether an auditor is guilty of professional misconduct when they fail to verify a director's qualifications, particularly when that director is disqualified. The content suggests that such an oversight could fall under professional misconduct, referencing specific clauses and schedules related to due diligence and negligence in auditing duties.

Schedule 2 part 1 clause 8, CA in practice shall be guilty of professional misconduct if he does not exercise due diligence or is grossly negligent in conduct of his duties.

I think first schedule-clause 12 is also applicable to allow a disqualified director to work as a member.
