ADT-1 Auditor Appointment your statutory auditor, filed right.
End-to-end ADT-1 auditor appointment filing services in Mumbai and across India — appointment and reappointment of statutory auditors, casual vacancy filings, board and AGM resolutions, and ROC intimation in Form ADT-1.
Every company is required to appoint a statutory auditor and to inform the Registrar of Companies of that appointment by filing Form ADT-1. Under Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013, a company appoints its first auditor within 30 days of incorporation, and thereafter appoints an auditor at the annual general meeting to hold office for a term of five years.
Form ADT-1 is the intimation of the auditor's appointment to the Registrar. It must be filed within 15 days of the meeting at which the auditor is appointed, and is accompanied by the board or shareholder resolution, the auditor's written consent, and the auditor's certificate confirming eligibility. The same form is used when an auditor is appointed to fill a casual vacancy.
Our ADT-1 practice manages the entire appointment — obtaining the auditor's consent and eligibility certificate, drafting the board and AGM resolutions, and filing Form ADT-1 with the Registrar within the deadline. We handle first auditor appointments for new companies, regular appointments and reappointments at the AGM, and casual vacancy filings, so the company's audit compliance is always correctly on record.
