Sir, supposing if the old auditors are holding the records of the client company due to lien say for non payment, then will the old auditors provide the books to the new auditors so that the new auditors can carry out their work?
(Maybe an agreement will be formed between new and old auditors)
What will usually be done in this case?

Generally not. A lien gives you the right to keep something (usually in relation to a debt owed to you). So, why would the old auditors take the pressure off by giving up the books of account?
This is quite obscure stuff. Don’t worry about it too much!
