Common questions

FAQs.

How is a fee proposal different from an engagement letter?
A proposal offers the scope and the fee and asks the client to accept. Once accepted, the engagement letter records the terms of the work in full, as the standards require for an audit.
Can a firm advertise or quote fees freely?
The ICAI Code of Ethics governs how members may solicit work and quote fees. Check the current provisions before you send a proposal to a prospect you have not worked with.
Should GST be shown in the proposal?
Yes, as extra and at the applicable rate, so the client is not surprised by the invoice.
