In the First Schedule, Part I, which of the following is professional misconduct by a chartered accountant in practice?

First Schedule, Part I lists misconduct by practising CAs that is dealt with by the Board of Discipline, including soliciting clients or professional work, directly or indirectly, by circular, advertisement, personal communication or interview, except as permitted (such as responding to tenders or advertising through a permitted write-up). The other options - disclosing client information, failing to keep client money separate, gross negligence, and embezzlement - are Second Schedule items handled by the Disciplinary Committee. Hence the First Schedule, Part I misconduct is the solicitation of clients.
