    Dear All

    An Auditor who was a proprietor and a Statutory Auditor of Company has changed the constitution of Proprietorship to Partnership Firm and Bank Account & PAN No has also changed. So, the question which arises here is whether the Casual has arisen here and if so then Company has to file his resignation and appoint another auditor in his place or we do not have file any Form with MCA and his appointment will continue. If his appointment will continue without any fresh intimation to MCA, then whether the Company has to give intimation to Stock exchange as the Company is listed.

    Please provide your inputs.

    • Hy Shreya!

      first of all your query is appreciable,

      there are some instances which can clearly be grounds of casual vacancy such as death, disqualification, resignation(list is inclusive)

      and in case of casual vacancy ADT-1 is required to be filed to ROC within 15 days of new appointment and he shall hold office till the conclusion of upcoming AGM, and in AGM new auditor gets appointed.

      However in case of casual vacancy due to resignation od auditor ADT-3 is also required to be filed by the resigning auditor.

       

      now in your case it is change in constitution of firm from sole proprietor to partnership firm,

      parnership firm is not considered as seperate legal entity anywhere except for the purpose of income tax act, 1961.

      therefore it can be said that same auditor is doing audit irresective of change in constituion,

      also we have the option to update the details of our auditor in AOC-4 which includes PAN, office address,name of partner etc.

      therefore as per my understanding, it is not a ground for a casual vacancy we merely need to update the New PAN of auditor.

       

       keenly waiting for other point of views also

      thank you.
