Opinion of Ethical Standard Board on sharing of commercial website link by NIRC Member in the name of professional updates..
Dear Sir,
This is with reference to the issue raised by you.
The issue was considered by the Ethical Standards Board at its 137th Meeting held on 5th May, 2017, wherein the Board made the the following observations/views:-
1) So far as a website of a Firm of Chartered Accountants is concerned, a member is governed by the ICAI Website Guidelines.
2) So far a website only for the purpose of giving professional updates is concerned, there will be no solicitation involved, and accordingly there is no issue in the same. The fact that the member operating such website is also sending the updates to members will not alter the above position.
3) The presence of commercial objective of such website is an important parameter, from the point of view of provisions of Clause (11) of Part-I of First Schedule to The Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, to decide on its permissibility.
4) The member operating such website should also ensure at his end that there is no infringement of copyright in the operation and nomenclature of such website.
5) The Board was of the view that a particular website , not being CA Firm website, may be guilty, for instance, of the provisions of Clauses (6) , (7) or (11) of Part-I of First Schedule to The Chartered Accountants Act, or of provisions relating to copyright, and it is not possible to lay down a rule for every possible eventuality .
6) The Board also noted that the above conditions , based on provisions of Clauses (6), (7) and (11) of Part-I of First Schedule to The Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, would not apply to the website operated by a member not in practice , as the said conditions do not apply to such member.
