Asian Paints Appoints S R B C & Co. LLP as New Statutory Auditors for Five Years
Asian Paints has appointed S R B C & Co. LLP as its new statutory auditors. The appointment is for a five-year term from FY2025-26 to FY2030-31, pending shareholder approval at the 80th AGM. This follows the completion of the current auditor's tenure.
Changing statutory auditors is a significant governance event that can impact investor confidence and requires regulatory and shareholder approval, thus having a medium-term impact.
The change of auditors is a routine corporate action and does not inherently indicate a positive or negative development for the company's financial performance or operations.
Asian Paints Limited announced a significant change in its statutory auditors. The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has approved the appointment of S R B C & Co. LLP, Chartered Accountants, as the new statutory auditors.
This appointment is for a term of five consecutive years, commencing from the conclusion of the 80th Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the financial year 2025-26, and will extend until the conclusion of the 85th AGM for the financial year 2030-31. The appointment is subject to the approval of the company's shareholders at the upcoming 80th AGM.
The current statutory auditors, Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP, will complete their tenure of two five-year terms upon the conclusion of the 80th AGM. S R B C & Co. LLP has provided the necessary consent, certificate of eligibility, and confirmation of non-disqualification.
