08 August 2013 In Private Limited Companies or Public Limited Companies, Statutory Auditor who is appointed in an AGM dated 29.09.2012 signs Balance Sheet for 31.03.2013

now my question is dat,

1: what are the consequences, if he doesn't sign the same ??

2: can another auditor sign Balance Sheet for 31.03.2013, by showing his backdated appointment on 29.09.2012 ??

Form 23B of 31.03.2013 is yet to file

we have filed Annual Report of 31.03.2012 with the ROC, in its notice, we proposed appointment of XYZ & Associates, CA firm, for auditor of 2012-13, its form 23B for 310313 is yet to file

now XYZ & Associates is not willing to sign, hence, Company appoints PQR & Associates, CA firm

SO can PQR & Associates file form 23B for 31.03.2013 with late penalty fees and show his appointment ??? if so, then what will be the consequence of proposed appointment of XYZ & Associates which Company has shown in the notice of AGM for 31.03.2012 ???
