Auditor Resignation Services

Auditor Resignation under Companies Act, 2013

Auditor resignation isn’t just about stepping down. It triggers compliance requirements for both the auditor and the company, and if not handled correctly, it can lead to penalties or regulatory issues.

At N D Savla & Associates, we manage the complete resignation process, ensuring every requirement is met cleanly and on time.

What actually happens in auditor resignation

When an auditor resigns:

• The auditor must file Form ADT-3 with ROC
• The company must take note through Board resolution
• A new auditor must be appointed (casual vacancy)
• Proper documentation and disclosures are required

Miss timelines or filings, and it creates compliance gaps that show up later.

Our scope of services

We don’t just “file forms.” We handle the full situation.

1. Advisory on Resignation Process

• Understanding legal requirements
• Clarifying roles of auditor vs company
• Ensuring proper sequence of actions

2. Documentation & Resolutions

• Drafting resignation acknowledgment
• Board resolution for noting resignation
• Assistance with casual vacancy documentation

3. ROC Filing (ADT-3 Support)

• Preparation and guidance for Form ADT-3
• Ensuring correct reasons and disclosures
• Timely submission with ROC

4. Post-Resignation Compliance

• Guidance on appointment of new auditor
• Ensuring no compliance break between auditors

Why this needs to be handled carefully

Here’s where people slip:

• Assuming company files ADT-3 (it’s the auditor’s responsibility)
• Missing the 30-day filing timeline
• Poorly drafted resignation reasons
• Delay in appointing a new auditor

These aren’t technical mistakes. They’re avoidable—but only if handled properly.

Who needs this service

• Companies where auditor has resigned
• Auditors needing support with compliance filing
• Startups dealing with auditor change
• Companies facing disputes or transitions

Documents required

• Resignation letter from auditor
• Company details (CIN, incorporation docs)
• Auditor details (PAN, membership no.)
• Board resolution (we assist in drafting)

What this really solves

Auditor resignation often happens during:

• Internal disputes
• Compliance issues
• Change in management or direction

Which means it’s not just a filing—it’s a sensitive transition.

We make sure:

• Everything is documented correctly
• No regulatory exposure is left behind
• Transition to new auditor is smooth

Handle it cleanly

If your auditor has resigned or you’re planning a change, don’t treat this casually.
