My client (a small private limited company) appointed statutory auditors for the year 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12 in the relevant AGMs. However such auditors did not conduct the audit for any of those years for certain reasons and resigned recently for all the years at one stroke.Now, a new firm of Chartered Accountants has been asked to conduct the audit of these company for all those 4 years.
My query is whether these statutory audits of 4 years are to be treated as 4 audit assignments or as one single audit assignment for the purpose of ceiling on number of audits as per the code of conduct of Chartered Accountants.
