CS ALLOWED ALLOWED TO ADVERTISE SERVICES

Company Secretaries (CS) are set to become the first class of professionals to be allowed to advertise their services in India. The regulatory body that governs the profession is going to allow Company Secretaries to advertise in print, electronic and internet media from January 1,2008. Other professionals like doctors, engineers, chartered accountants and lawyers do not yet have this privilege. The Code of Ethics committee of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) is working on modalities and guidelines to allow chartered accountants to advertise their services in a limited manner.
