Clause 25

An act or omission of a public accountant may constitute improper or dishonourable conduct in the discharge of his professional duty even though it is only done or occurs while the public accountant provides public accountancy services through an accounting corporation or an accounting firm.

The directors of an accounting corporation or the partners of an accounting firm who are public accountants shall be jointly liable to disciplinary proceedings under this Act if the business of the accounting corporation or accounting firm is conducted in a manner which would warrant disciplinary proceedings against it and where such conduct cannot be attributed to the act or omission of any particular public accountant or public accountants.
