As per the recent decision taken by the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants

of India (ICAI), in its 292nd meeting held on January 13, 2010, effective from 1 April 2010, the 

resolution passed by a company regarding appointment of the statutory auditor of the

company under section 224 of the Companies Act, 1956, should also contain the registration

number of the firm of the auditor(s) with the ICAI.

A model resolution for appointment of statutory auditor is given below for your easy reference.

==========================================================================================================================================================

To appoint Auditors and to fix their remuneration and in this regard to consider and if thought fit,

to pass, with or without modification(s), the following resolution as an Ordinary Resolution:

“RESOLVED THAT M/s. ..............................., Chartered Accountants (Registration No. ............)

be and are hereby appointed as Statutory Auditors of the Company, to hold office from the

conclusion of this annual general meeting until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting

of the Company on such remuneration as may be mutually agreed upon between the

Board of Directors of the Company and the Statutory Auditors, plus reimbursement of

service tax, out of pocket and traveling expenses actually incurred by them in connection

with the Audit.”

==========================================================================================================================================================

So,  the firm Registration No. need to be incorporated  in the resolution appointing the

statutory auditor.
