contents We examine the effects of thermal conduction on relativistic, magnetized, viscous, advective accretion flows around rotating black holes considering bremsstrahlung and synchrotron cooling processes. Assuming the toroidal component of magnetic fields as the dominant one, we self-consistently solve the steady-state fluid equations to derive the global transonic accretion solutions for a black hole of spin $a_{\rm k}$. Depending on the model parameters, the magnetized accretion flow undergoes shock transitions and shock-induced global accretion solutions persist over a wide range of model parameters including the conduction parameter ($Υ_{\rm s}$), plasma-$β$, and viscosity parameter ($α_{\rm B}$). We find that the shock properties -- such as shock radius ($r_{\rm s}$), compression ratio ($R$), and shock strength ($S$) -- are regulated by $Υ_{\rm s}$, plasma $β$, and $α_{\rm B}$. Furthermore, we compute the critical conduction parameter ($Υ_{\rm s}^{\rm cri}$), a threshold beyond which shock formation ceases to exist, and investigate its dependence on plasma-$β$ and $α_{\rm B}$ for both weakly rotating ($a_{\rm k} \rightarrow 0$) and rapidly rotating ($a_{\rm k} \rightarrow 1$) black holes. Finally, we examine the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the accretion disc and observe that increased thermal conduction and magnetic field strength lead to more luminous emission spectra from black hole sources.
