Auditor Appointment FAQs
Answers are grouped by appointment basics, documents, ADT-1, timelines, changes and compliance mistakes.
Basics
5 practical answers.
Auditor appointment is the formal appointment of a statutory auditor to audit company accounts and sign audit reports. It is supported by consent, eligibility documents, resolutions and ROC filing where applicable.
A practicing Chartered Accountant or eligible CA firm can be appointed, subject to independence, disqualification and eligibility conditions.
Yes. A company generally needs a statutory auditor for audit and annual compliance, even if business turnover is low.
Yes. A new company must appoint its first auditor within the statutory timeline after incorporation.
No. Statutory auditor appointment under company law is different from tax audit engagement under income-tax law, though the same CA may sometimes handle both if eligible.
Documents
5 practical answers.
Common documents include auditor consent, eligibility certificate, board resolution, company CIN, auditor details, appointment letter and DSC of authorised director.
Yes. Consent confirms the auditor is willing to accept the appointment and is usually kept as a key supporting document.
It is a declaration from the auditor confirming eligibility and non-disqualification for appointment under applicable law.
Yes. Board resolution or relevant approval record is required depending on the type of appointment and company situation.
Yes, if there is a resignation, removal, casual vacancy or change of auditor, previous auditor details and documents may be needed.
ADT-1
5 practical answers.
ADT-1 is the ROC form used for intimating appointment of auditor to the Registrar of Companies.
ADT-1 is generally filed for auditor appointment, but the exact requirement depends on the appointment type and applicable company law position.
ADT-1 is digitally signed by an authorised director or authorised signatory and certified where applicable.
Details include company information, auditor details, appointment date, tenure, AGM details where applicable and supporting attachments.
SRN is the Service Request Number generated after MCA filing. It should be saved with compliance records.
Timeline
5 practical answers.
The first auditor should be appointed within the prescribed period after incorporation. The route may differ if the board misses the timeline.
Regular auditor appointment is usually linked to the AGM cycle and tenure provisions.
Late filing may be possible with additional fees, but delay should be regularised quickly to avoid annual compliance problems.
If documents are ready, preparation and filing can often be completed quickly, subject to MCA portal functioning and document verification.
Not always. Auditor tenure rules may allow appointment for multiple years, but eligibility and records should be reviewed annually.
Change
5 practical answers.
Yes. Auditor change is possible, but the process depends on resignation, removal, expiry of term or casual vacancy.
The company must review the resignation, fill the vacancy through the applicable approval route and maintain proper ROC records.
Casual vacancy occurs when the auditor position becomes vacant before the normal expiry of tenure, such as resignation or other reasons.
Removal before expiry involves a more careful statutory process and should be handled with professional guidance.
In many cases shareholder approval is relevant. The exact approval depends on whether it is first auditor, casual vacancy, regular appointment or removal.
Mistakes
5 practical answers.
The biggest mistake is filing ADT-1 without proper consent, eligibility certificate or matching board/shareholder records.
Yes. Wrong tenure can create mismatch in future filings and annual compliance records.
Yes. Financial statements require auditor report, so auditor appointment records should be clean before annual filing.
Yes. Resubmission may happen if information or attachments are incomplete, unclear or inconsistent.
No. Eligibility and independence should be checked before appointment to avoid compliance defects later.
Company Types
5 practical answers.
Yes. OPC is a company and generally requires statutory audit and auditor appointment compliance.
Yes. Private limited companies generally need statutory auditor appointment and annual audit compliance.
Public companies may have stricter governance, rotation and audit committee-related requirements depending on category and size.
