Yes.

Statutory auditors can be appointed by the board in certain cases.

As per section 224(5) board has the power to appoint statutory auditor as first auditor.

As per section 224(6) board has the power to fill casual vacancy caused by the death or disqualification of statutory auditor by appointing new auditor.

In normal course board may recommend auditors name to shareholders for the purpose of appointment in the AGM.
