As far as a Listed Company is concerned, acc to companies act, it is stated that the Internal as well as the statutory auditors shall attend the ACM under Sec 292A of the Companies Act,1956.
Sec 292A says:
If a default is made in complying with the provisions of this section, the company, and every officer who is in default, shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine which may extend to fifty thousand rupees, or with both.]
so if the Statutory auditors are not invited to the meeting and as a result tof which they are unable to attend , the auditors can not be held responsible as 'officer in default' in this case?

Listed company is not actually governed by section-292A although it is available to a listed company.
Listed co. is basically governed by Listing Agreements.
Listing Agreements overrule section-292A is case of any contradiction.
It is compulsary for the statutory auditors of a public Co. to attend the audit committee meetings as per Listing Agreements.
Study Clause 49 carefully...
