This discussion addresses whether a new auditor can be appointed and file the ADT-1 form when the previous auditor has not yet filed their resignation using ADT-3. The consensus is that the new auditor cannot file ADT-1 until the old auditor has filed ADT-3. The company must ensure the old auditor completes their resignation filing, and the SRN of the ADT-3 filing is mandatory for the ADT-13 form.
Can a new auditor file ADT-1 for appointing himself as an auditor for a company even when the previous auditor has not filed ADT-3 for his resignation.
Will there be any liability on the new auditor in this case. The old auditor has given the resignation letter to the company.
