As per Sec 142 of Companies act 2013, Remuneration shall IN ALL CASES be fixed by MEMBERS in GENERAL MEETINGS or in such other manner as may be determined therein.

EXCEPT- Remuneration of first auditors MAY be fixed by BOD

That is my query. First auditor mat be appointed by CAG so? if CAG fails, BOD will appoint so we can say BOD will fix the same. But how can we say that CAG has authority to appoint 1st auditor but can't fix money matters? And where money matter is not fixed, how can someone accept appointment? Right?
