Adani Ports appoints MSKA & Associates as new auditor
Adani Ports said it appointed MSKA & Associates as the statutory auditors of the company, effective Aug. 12. The move comes after Adani Ports voted at a board meeting Saturday to accept the resignation of Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP. The appointment is effective until the date of the company’s next annual general meeting to be held in 2024, Adani said in a regulatory filing.
Deloitte has been the auditor of APSEZ since 2017. In July 2022, it was given another five-year term.
“The Audit Committee (of Adani Ports) was of the view that the grounds advanced by Deloitte for resignation as Statutory Auditor were not convincing or sufficient to warrant such a move,” Gopal Krishna Pillai, Chairman of the Audit Committee of Adani Ports, said in the statement.
