Privacy & Client Data Confidentiality Charter
Srivastava Kumar & Co. maintains unwavering adherence to the fiduciary obligations of client confidentiality. Statutory compliance under the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 and the ICAI Code of Ethics stands as the firm's topmost priority, working in harmony with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023.
The Dual-Perimeter Governance Architecture
To eliminate conflict between public institutional transparency and proprietary trade secret security, our web platform enforces strict architectural segmentation between public educational methodologies and private client vaults:
Statutory citations, open judicial precedents, verifiable firm registrations (FRN 011204N, Peer Review Certificate No. 017492), and 100% client-side, zero-exfiltration evaluators that run entirely in browser memory.
Proprietary financial modeling algorithms, bespoke trust structuring templates, confidential client workpapers, and ERP access (admin.skcca.com) isolated behind hardware MFA, RBAC, and UDIN cryptographic seals.
1. Statutory Professional Confidentiality (ICAI Priority #1)
In strict compliance with Clause (1) of Part I of the Second Schedule to the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, Section 114 of the ICAI Code of Ethics (Volume I), and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, all information, financial statements, tax records, and communications acquired during professional engagements are treated with absolute fiduciary confidentiality. No client data is disclosed to third parties without an explicit statutory mandate.
2. Client-Side Sandbox Security (Zero Server Data Retention)
Our interactive online tools (including the Startup Runway Modeler, Cash Conversion & ROCE Calculator, US RSU Evaluator, and Section 44ADA Optimizer) execute 100% locally in your client browser sandbox. All calculations, financial metrics, and operational numbers are computed locally in device memory; zero financial numbers or inputs are transmitted to or stored on our servers (DPDP Act 2023).
3. Enterprise Infrastructure & Multi-Factor Access Controls
Our practice infrastructure employs multi-factor authentication, end-to-end encryption for electronic communications, and isolated database architectures. Access to client audit and tax working files is strictly restricted to designated practice teams and partners directly assigned to the mandate.
