What a secretarial auditor does

• A secretarial auditor independently checks whether a listed company is meeting its company-law and SEBI compliance obligations, including board and committee processes, statutory registers, and the disclosures it makes to shareholders and exchanges.
• The role is different from the statutory financial auditor, who certifies the accounts. A change here is about the compliance review function, not about the numbers in the financial statements.

How a change like this is generally viewed

• The update sets out the resignation and the reason stated by the outgoing auditor, and the company has said a replacement will be appointed.
