Firstly, please note that after the commencement of the Companies Act, 2013 financial year in relation to any company or body corporate means the period ending on the 31st day of March every year, and in case of companies incorporated after Jan 1 of a year, the fin.year means the period ending on 31st march of the following year in respect of which financial statements of the company or body corporate are made up.
Regarding auditor appointment, after the commencement of the act , w.e.f 01.04.2014, every company shall at the first AGM, appoint an individual or a firm as auditors who shall hold office from the conclusion of that meeting till the conclusion of its sixth AGM. Hence, it is a mandatory provision.
At every subsequent AGM, the matter relating to auditor appointment shall be placed before AGM for ratification by members.
Hence, after one year , if you want to change the auditors, it can be done by way of shareholder resolution at AGM for appointment of new auditors . The ROC to be intimated accordingly by fiing ADT-1. Also the auditor who has resigned has to filed for ADT-3 with ROC.
