Casual vacancy of auditor

640 views 3 replies

One of the companies filed ADT-1 for appointment of auditor as casual vacancy due to resignation of Previous auditor. EGM was conducted and all proper procedures were followed. In the Adt-1 the period however is shown as 5 years term. I understand that auditor appointed in capacity of casual vacancy can be ratified only in next AGM. 

SO my question is, is filing ADT-1 for appointment of auditor for casual vacancy for term of 5 years is right or wrong?

As per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013"The auditor appointed to fill the casual vacancy shall hold office till the conclusion of the next annual general meeting".

So the appointment for five years is wrong as per law.
Auditor appointed in casual vacancy can not hold office for 5yrs

Thanks for the response experts. Let me also know the corrective action to be taken for form if possible. 

Can we ignore the ADT-1 and in next AGM appoint new auditor for 5 years?
