In case of a new company the Board appoints the first statutory auditor of the company who holds the office till the conclusion of the first AGM of the company. My doubt is that if the same auditor is appointed in first agm of the company, is his previous appointment by the board is considered for his term of five years? or he can hold office till the conclusion of sixth AGM ? (assuming auditor is Individual)
