Dear Colleagues, I have a query regarding Auditor appointment, in a company, In an AGM an Auditor who is having proprietorship firm has been appointed, the Auditor Dissolves its Proprietorship firm and enter into Partnership, now the query is whether the Auditors have to file fresh form ADT - 1 for change in auditors firm status or he can sign the Balance sheet without any intimation to ROC, and also Is company required to pass an ordinary/Special resolution for fresh appointment of same auditor in the Company. what is the correct measure in this case? Note - Registration no and name of old Proprietorship firm was same in new partnership firm.

If the terms of partnership permits, he can do so in the name of proprietory firm..... else he has to follow the change of auditor procedure
