If the Statutory Auditor of the Company has resigned during the year and a casual vacancy is created then in how much time new Auditors can be appointed by the Company???
What is the Time limit to appoint them ???

06 August 2013 Hi

You should appoint the new statutory auditory auditor before the end of financial year for which new auditor will audit the accounts of the company, because for new financial year the statutory auditor will again reappoint in upcoming AGM.

So you will appoint new auditor from the date of resignation of auditor and he will hold its post till the date of AGM
