Understanding the service
ADT-1 relates to auditor appointment reporting where required. Appointment details, consents and the relevant company resolutions are reviewed before filing.
Start with the appointment event
Confirm who appointed the auditor, the period of appointment and the applicable reporting obligation. The meeting record, auditor consent and eligibility evidence should refer to the same appointment. Do not choose a filing date by guessing from the date an email was received.
Keep the appointment and annual accounts aligned
Retain the resolution, consent and acknowledgement in the company file. If the auditor changes, review the actual event and additional requirements rather than copying the previous application. Appointment reporting is distinct from performing the audit itself.
Preparation checklist
Use this as a starting file, not a universal eligibility decision. ACS confirms the final checklist against your actual entity, activity and reporting period.
- CIN, company registration and authorised-signatory records
- Approved accounts, audit records and relevant schedules
- Meeting dates, resolutions and appointment or ownership particulars
- Previous filings and relevant acknowledgements
Keep originals and final versions distinguishable. Record missing information before submission and use the agreed private channel for sensitive evidence.
From enquiry to agreed work
- Share the requirement and relevant reporting period.
- ACS reviews the records and confirms the scope and charges.
- Preparation, review and authorised filing or delivery.
- Receive completion records and the next-step checklist.
A consistent appointment record for the company and auditor. Timing depends on the supplied records, applicable process and external review. No authority decision or processing date is guaranteed.
