Section 139(2)

Dear experts please guide me in this regard section 139?(2) No listed company or a company belonging to such class or classes of companies as may be prescribed, shall appoint or re-appoint auditors .

here no listed company means ??? if company turnover is less than as per rule 5 of audit and auditors rules 2014 .

can company can appoint auditors any number of years?

Dear ANKUR TAH,

Kindly see the MCA Text as follows

No listed company or a company belonging to such class or classes of companies as may be prescribed, shall appoint or re-appoint— (a) an individual as auditor for more than one term of five consecutive years; and (b) an audit firm as auditor for more than two terms of five consecutive years: 

MCA given Defination for classes of companies or prescribed companies

How can we describe unlisted company in this regard.

Thanks a Lot ANKUR TAH

Thank you so much ANKUR TAH
