The appointment is valid but you have to make ready the following papers.
Issue a formal letter to the auditor that whether he is willing to take up audit assignment. This letter should be dated 18-2-1998 and get the confirmation letter from him on or before 25-2-1998.
Issue a formal letter on 28-2-1998 inviting him to the Board meeting on 3-3-1998.
Just get acknowledgememts for the same and keep it in file. If roc raises question for 2days by showing the above documents you can get condonation for the procedural delay by 2 days.
