yes , an auditor can be appointed for a term which is less than 5 . As per the Act, 5 years is the maximum period of a term , a term can be of 1,2,3,4 years. Appointing for more than 5 years is prohibited bit not less than 5. Many of the subsidary companies of our holding company have appointed auditor for a term of 3 years.
the interpretation differs from person to person , more than 5 years in a term is prohibited but not less than 5 years because so many companies appoints auditor for 3 years including the subsidary and associate of companies in which i m working in.
Every auditor (except first auditor) including LLP, shall be automatically appointed for a tenure of five years with/ without re-appointment in the subsequent AGMs.
