26 August 2013 For how long could there be a vacancy in the office of the auditor in a private limited company?

Facts are that auditor had resigned from office. How much time is there with the board to fill the vacancy by calling an EGM???

26 August 2013 Hi

It will be depend on different situation.

For example:

1.If your auditor is resigned after signing of Audit Rport, then you can appoint an other auditor before the issue of notice for calling of AGM.

Reason being in the notice of AGM one ordinary business is appointment of AGM.

2. If your auditor is resigned before signing of audit report then you can called a general meeting for any time to appoint auditor.

The time period is not given for Board or shareholders to call EGM to fill casual vacancy.

In Companies Bill 2013, it is given 90 days from the intimation from Board to call EGM.
