Professional misconduct by CA

407 views 6 replies

I am the director of a company and the CA, who is also statutory auditor has done the following:

1. Forged my signatures on all the financial documents and uploaded on MCA

2. Leased out his office to the firm that he's auditing ie the company I  director of(this was before I became director) 

3. Works like an admin for the company (creates invoices, sends RBI circulars, has company email id)

any deviation from these standards, even in his non-professional work, would expose him to
disciplinary action.
4. For example, a member who is found to have forged
