ADT-1 (Auditor Appointment)

File ADT-1 to record the appointment of your statutory auditor with the Registrar — done correctly within the statutory window.

Overview

ADT-1 is the form a company files to inform the Registrar that it has appointed (or re-appointed) its statutory auditor, typically following the decision at a general meeting. It’s a standard part of staying compliant.

CapEasy prepares the board resolution, collects the auditor’s written consent and eligibility certificate, and files ADT-1 within the statutory window so the appointment is on record.

Frequently asked questions

Who files ADT-1 — the company or the auditor?

The company files ADT-1 to intimate the Registrar of the appointment. We prepare it and the supporting documents for you.

The first auditor is usually appointed by the board shortly after incorporation; the filing requirements differ from a subsequent appointment. We confirm what applies to your company and file accordingly.
