Overview - appointment of statutory auditor Registration
What is it?
Appointment of a Statutory Auditor is the formal process of appointing a Chartered Accountant (CA) or CA firm as the company's auditor under Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013. Every company must appoint a statutory auditor within 30 days of incorporation and file Form ADT-1 with the ROC.
Tenure and rotation
First auditor: Appointed within 30 days of incorporation - holds office until the first AGM. Subsequent auditor: Appointed at the first AGM for a 5-year term. Mandatory rotation applies to listed companies and certain unlisted public companies - private companies are exempt from mandatory rotation.
ADT-1 filing requirement
Form ADT-1 must be filed with the ROC within 15 days of the shareholder resolution appointing the auditor at the AGM. Filing through the MCA portal using the Director's DSC.
Consequence of non-appointment
Failure to appoint a statutory auditor is a serious non-compliance - the company cannot finalise its accounts, file AOC-4, or pass a valid audit. The Central Government can appoint an auditor if the company fails to appoint one.

Who Usually Requires This?
The Appointment of Statutory Auditor solution matches perfectly with these profiles:
- Profile
- Why It Applies
- Profile
- Why It Applies
- Newly incorporated companies (within 30 days)
- Every new company must appoint its first statutory auditor within 30 days of incorporation - by a board resolution (not shareholder resolution for the first appointment). ADT-1 must be filed within 15 days of the appointment.
- Companies at their first AGM (5-year appointment)
- At the first AGM, the company must appoint a statutory auditor for a 5-year term (until the 6th AGM). This appointment must be ratified annually or confirmed for the full term - we handle both approaches.
- Companies changing their statutory auditor
- Companies that wish to change their auditor - due to rotation, business growth requiring a larger firm, or relationship issues - must follow a specific process including the outgoing auditor's NOC and ADT-1 filing.
- Companies that missed the auditor appointment deadline
- Missing the 30-day window for the first auditor appointment or the AGM-linked appointment attracts penalties. We handle late appointments and manage the penalty implications.
