A client's previous auditor resigned, leaving a gap for the financial years 23-24 and 24-25. The new directors have appointed a new auditor to conduct the audit and file the necessary AOC-4 forms. This process involves obtaining the outgoing auditor's resignation filing (ADT-3), securing a No Objection Certificate (NOC), and passing board resolutions to fill the casual vacancy. The new auditor will then complete the audit and file Form ADT-1 and AOC-4.

To conduct the audit and file AOC-4: verify the outgoing auditor's ADT-3, obtain an NOC, pass a Board resolution (and EGM approval) to fill the casual vacancy under Section 139(8), file Form ADT-1, complete the audit for FY 23-24 and FY 24-25, and subsequently file Form AOC-4 before the applicable scheme/deadline.
