no appointment has to be done by a board resolution only.. see 203(2) of the CA, 2013.. CA qualification is not necessary for appointment of a person as CFO.. as nothing is given in the act or rules. a person having the ability to handle finance can be a CFO.. i have seen one Co in which CS is the CFO of that co.

 
 

With Best Regards?

Section 203(2) clarify abt appointment of KMP, how ever for negative list of resolution by circulation one may read S.S.7.

Section 203 is applicable to listed companies and companies having paid-up capital of Rs.10 Crores or more.

Hence 203 is not applicable to Pvt. companies and provisons of KMP are not applicable to Pvt. companies.

Request others to share their views.

Also having the same view as Mr. Rajesh, as provision of KMP is not applicable for pvt co. but if pvt ltd. Company wants to appoint CFO then, they may appoint it by way of resolution passed by circulation
