The registered office of a firm of statutory auditors is located within the jurisdiction of the regional company with the largest number of shareholders or partners. If two or more regional companies have the same number of shareholders or partners, the registered office may be set at the choice of the shareholders or partners in one of those companies.
If the largest number of shareholders or members is attached to another regional company as a result of a change in the holding of share capital, the company has a period of one year in which to transfer its registered office.
