The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), as part of curbing misuse of the profession, has sent notices to 200 professionals alleging misconduct.
As per sources, the Institute has issued disciplinary notices to more than 200 chartered accountants for their alleged role in aiding several Chinese firms violate the Companies Act 2013, through their India-incorporated subsidiaries and shell companies in recent years.
“We want to conclude this matter at the earliest, ICAI President Debashis Mitra told BusinessLine, adding that the proceedings were done on a ‘top priority’ basis. It is learnt that the action has been initiated based on a list of 400 professionals (both CAs and Company Secretaries) sent by the government to the ICAI and Company Secretaries Institute.
While in some cases, the Registrar of Registrar of Companies (RoCs) had complained, in some other, the matter has been considered as information cases. The ICAI had, in June this year, said hundreds of CAs across the country were under the CA Institute’s disciplinary lens.
