Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a private limited company can seek advice from a second or alternative Company Secretary (CS) or Chartered Accountant (CA). Experts confirm that clients are legally permitted to obtain opinions from multiple professionals, especially if they have doubts or are seeking alternative solutions. The key consideration is ensuring this doesn't violate professional ethics codes, and clients are free to pay for such consultations.

By law, opinion can be obtained from number of experts. Authorized auditor can be appointed or changed by managing committee in writing.
Thank You sir... It means, If i get opinion from another CS/CA then Can we (client) pay charges to the CS/CA? Is there any valid questions from current CA/CS?

Sometimes there is hope of better solution in case of controversial issue/s. Secondly, if management wishes to change current auditor from next term for its arrogant behavior, this way one can try new professional.. etc etc. there can be other reason/s which only client can clarify.

Okay sir. But, Can that client get advice from another CA/CS and pay charges accordingly
Yes, if it is not against ethics code.
Thank You Sir...
Can You give with sone clarity please.

If client has doubt or doesn't get satisfactory solution from you, he/she can refer any another professional. He/ she is not bound to accept your opinions all the time.
