Replies (1)
Here is the complete position on LLP audit and auditor appointment:

1. Audit Mandatory? Under Rule 24 of LLP Rules, 2009, audit of accounts is mandatory only if:
- Annual turnover exceeds Rs. 40 lakh (in any financial year), OR
- Capital contribution exceeds Rs. 25 lakh.
Below both thresholds: Audit is NOT mandatory (self-certification of accounts is sufficient).

2. Who Can be Appointed: Only a practising Chartered Accountant (holding COP) or a firm of CAs can be appointed as statutory auditor of an LLP. Company Secretaries or Cost Accountants cannot audit LLP accounts for statutory purposes.

3. Appointment Process:
- First auditor must be appointed by the designated partners within 30 days of incorporation.
- Subsequent auditors are appointed by the partners/management at the time of filing of annual accounts.
- There is no formal MCA form for LLP auditor appointment (unlike ADT-1 for companies) — the appointment is by resolution of designated partners.

4. Annual Filing: All LLPs must file Form 11 (Annual Return) by 30th May and Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency) by 30th October every year — audit report to be attached with Form 8 if audit is applicable.

5. Penalty for Non-compliance: Non-filing or non-audit (when required) attracts penalty under LLP Act — Rs. 100/day for delay in annual filings.
