Professional misconduct by CA

Internal Audit 368 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) 

Are all these individually cases of professional misconduct ? Which Schedule and Clause would they fall into?

Else there will be imprisonment for non filing annual accounts on MCA portal

1. I am talking about manual signatures on financial documents. 

2.i have already resigned so i am no longer liable for filing. 

The issue has to resolved between the parties..
Outsiders will not be knowing what was happened inside the company

Please answer the question asked -- Schedule & Clauses - if you know?

accountant is expected to maintain the highest standards of integrity even in his personal affairs and
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

Thank you... That was helpful
