General Meeting Notice to Remove an Auditor
IN LIGHT OF THE ECONOMIC CRIME & CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT 2023, THIS TEMPLATE IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW.
If members wish to remove an auditor from office, they must give the company special notice of the resolution in accordance with sections 312 and 511 of the Companies Act 2006. Following receipt of that special notice, the company must, among other things, convene a general meeting.
This template is a notice convening a general meeting to consider the removal of an auditor and (if applicable) the appointment of a replacement.
What the notice covers
The notice includes two resolutions:
- a resolution to remove the auditor from office; and
- a resolution to appoint a replacement auditor.
Special notice of the proposed appointment must also have been given for the appointment resolution to be validly considered at the general meeting. If the auditor is not being replaced, the second resolution can be removed.
Proxy form included
A form of proxy is included for shareholders who cannot attend the meeting and wish to nominate someone to vote on their behalf.
If the proxy form does not specify the name of a person to vote at the general meeting, the Chairman will vote on behalf of that shareholder.
