THE INSTITUTE OF Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on Thursday approved the revised Code of Ethics (CoE) for chartered accountants (CAs) that will give them more flexibility to advertise, among other things.

The revised CoE, which will come into force from April 1 next year, will also enable CAs to render additional services such as forensic accounting, research analysis, social impact assessment and evaluation, artificial intelligence, etc.

As per ICAI, the changes in the advertisement guidelines are aimed at enhancing accessibility and professional visibility in line with contemporary practices.
