Yes a Company can remove an auditor before the completion of his tenure. Company can pass this resolution in Board Meeting. The Old auditor have the right to be heard in the general meeting in front of share holders. The new auditor has to take no objection certificate from the old auditor. The old auditor might draw attetion to matters if he finds material mis statement.
