In both the cases answer is yes.
1. In this case the relevant provisions of Companies Act are applicable.
Statement Of amendments could be prepared and that can be signed by Auditors and directors both. To adopt changes, you have to call the EGM .Enclosed suitable Explanatory Statement for such amendments. Auditors can sign after this process.
