Common questions

What happens if ADT-1 isn't filed on time?

A late filing fee applies, increasing the longer the delay, in addition to potential compliance flags on your company record.

Is ADT-1 required every year?

It's required whenever an auditor is appointed or reappointed — typically once every 5 years for the same auditor, not necessarily annually.

Who signs the ADT-1 form?

It's filed by the company, digitally signed by an authorised director, based on the auditor's consent and the AGM resolution.
