Hey Sid,

As Mr. Rohit Kapoor said they are absolutely firms. I'am aware of the existence of Ernst & Young Private Limited which basically provides management advisory services and many more such kind.

But I would like to make a small correction w.r.t the sections you have mentioned in your post i.e it's u/s 226 which tells you that who has the eligibility to audit, whereas sec 224 is all about appointment of auditor.

Sid,

they are firms and they are having mutliple partners and associates in their group.

They dont sign all the audits on their own name.

They are not performing audit by their names as they have multiple firms associated with them like S.R batliboi for EY and BSR & Associates for KPMG and hence the y are performing audit with so many partners.
