WHO THIS WORK IS FOR
Companies appointing or reappointing an auditor and organising appointment records.
Auditor Appointment & ADT-1 Support — what the work covers
Auditor appointment starts with company history and the proposed event, not with filling a date into a form. First appointment, reappointment and changes involving an existing auditor need to be distinguished.
We organise consent and eligibility records, relevant approvals and prior appointment information. Filing requirements and the sequence of documents are reviewed for the actual circumstances. Appointment and acceptance also involve professional considerations; a corporate form alone does not establish that an audit engagement is validly accepted.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Questions worth asking.
Is ADT-1 required for every appointment?
The requirement is assessed for the specific appointment, company and period. Different situations should not be treated identically.
Can an appointment be backdated?
Records must reflect actual events. Share the true sequence for review.
Does the form complete the audit?
No. Appointment filings and performing the statutory audit are separate work.
