ICAI to conduct its Disciplinary Proceedings through e-hearings as a pilot project

The ICAI, for the first time, have fixed to conduct e-hearing of disciplinary proceedings on February 9, 2019 through Video-conferencing in terms/compliance of the recent amendments made to the Chartered Accountants (Procedure of Investigations of Professional and Other Misconduct and Conduct of Cases) Rules, 2007.
The e-hearings would inter alia cut down the associated travel time and costs to the parties involved
