Cancel your auditor registration
This page contains information and guidance around cancelling your auditor registration.
Both individual auditors and authorised audit companies can use Form 905 to cancel their auditor registration:
Form 905 Notification of ceasing to practice as, or change to details of, an auditor (Form 905)
There is no fee for resigning as an auditor.
ASIC will not cancel the registration of an auditor or AAC where there are any outstanding matters (for example: an annual statement that has not been submitted). Please ensure details are correct and up to date prior to submitting a Form 905 to cancel registration.
You can cancel your registration using ASIC's auditor portal.
Authorised Audit Companies (AAC)
ASIC has the power under the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act) to cancel or suspend the registration of an AAC:
- at the request of the AAC (see s1299H), or
- if the AAC ceases to be eligible to be registered or fails to comply with any conditions of registration (see s1299I).
An authorised audit company that is applying for voluntary company deregistration under s601AA of the Corporations Act must also apply for cancellation as an authorised audit company.
You can apply for cancellation as an AAC at any time.
