ADT-1 Form for Appointment of First Auditor

ADT-1 is a form used for intimating the Registrar of Companies about the appointment of the first auditor of a company. According to the Companies Act 2013, every company must appoint its first auditor within thirty days of Company incorporation. Once the auditor has been appointed, the company must file Form ADT-1 with the ROC within fifteen days of the appointment.

The first auditor appointed by the company holds office until the conclusion of the first Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM should be kept within nine months from the end of the fiscal year in which the company was incorporated. At the AGM, the shareholders of the company can either ratify the appointment of the first auditor or appoint a new auditor for the company.

Appointing an auditor for the first time can be overwhelming for a new company. However, complying with the provisions of the Companies Act is crucial to avoid any legal consequences in the future. It is a mandatory compliance requirement for companies in India, and failure to file Form ADT-1 can result in penalties and fines.
