A Pvt Ltd Company last held their AGM on Sept 2011. The Audit firm appointed at the last held AGM has resigned 2 days back and has not finalised the accounts for FY 2011-12 and 2012-13.
Now that this company has approached us(A CA Firm) to take up statutory audit.
Also they request us to suggest how to appoint us as Statutory Auditors, Whether in a AGM or just a board meeting is enough, considering the fact that the previous auditors have given a NOC certificate cum Resignation letter.
