auditor
The general rule is that every company must appoint a firm of accountants as its auditors to carry out an audit of its accounts. The rule is relaxed for dormant companies or those with a low turnover. The appointment (or re-appointment) is made by shareholders at the general meeting of the company at which the accounts are read.

auditor
an accountant who verifies the books of a company. Every company is required to appoint at each general meeting at which accounts are laid an auditor or auditors to hold office from the conclusion of the meeting until the conclusion of the next such general meeting. Except in the case of a continuation of an appointment of auditors whose appointment was approved at the previous general meeting held to consider the accounts, special notice is required of a resolution concerning the appointment of auditors. To be eligible for appointment as a company auditor, a person, either an individual or a firm, must be a member of a recognised supervisory body and eligible for appointment under the rules of that body.
