Farm Peace Limited confirmed the resignation of its statutory auditor, M/s. R H Panwar & Associates, with immediate effect on October 1, 2026. The firm cited inability to meet professional requirements for Peer Review certification as the primary reason for stepping down ahead of FY27.

The resignation was communicated to BSE Limited under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company stated that the decision was taken to facilitate the appointment of a Peer Reviewed Chartered Accountant firm and ensure a smooth transition for the ensuing financial year.

Auditor Tenure and Recent Filings

M/s. R H Panwar & Associates was originally appointed by the members at the Annual General Meeting on September 30, 2022. Their term was scheduled to continue until the conclusion of the 6th AGM in 2027. Prior to this resignation, the firm had submitted the audit report for the year ended March 31, 2026, on June 9, 2026.

What the Numbers Show

The disclosure highlights a procedural rather than financial divergence. While the auditor completed the FY26 audit report without qualification mentioned in the filing, the resignation stems strictly from regulatory compliance regarding Peer Review certification. This indicates no reported audit disputes or management-imposed limitations on information access, as explicitly marked "Not Applicable" in the SEBI Annexure I disclosures.
