Records the Board's decision to appoint a chartered accountant, cost accountant or other professional as internal auditor and fixes the terms of engagement. Unlike the statutory auditor, appointment of an internal auditor is not filed with the Registrar in Form ADT-1; it is a Board minute kept in the company's records.
Where a Board resolution relating to the appointment or terms of an internal auditor falls within the matters requiring filing under Section 179(3) and the Companies (Meetings and Powers of Board) Rules 2014, it is filed in Form MGT-14. Private companies are exempt from filing many Section 179(3) resolutions, so this applies selectively.
Sets out the purpose, authority, independence, scope, reporting line and periodicity of the internal audit function, agreed between the Board, audit committee and internal auditor. It operationalises Rule 13(2) and aligns the engagement with the ICAI Framework Governing Internal Audits.
Documents the risk assessment, auditable units, coverage and calendar for the year so that higher-risk processes receive priority. Prepared under the Standards on Internal Audit dealing with planning, it forms the basis on which the audit committee monitors coverage and frequency.
Communicates observations, root causes, risk ratings and recommendations to the audit committee or Board. Prepared in line with the Standards on Internal Audit dealing with reporting, it drives management action-taken reports and feeds the internal financial controls assessment.
Evidence that the audit committee reviewed the adequacy of the internal audit function, discussed significant findings with the internal auditor and monitored follow-up, as required by Section 177. These minutes support the directors' responsibility statement and the statutory auditor's CARO reporting.
Every claim on this page can be traced back to a section or rule below.
Section 138 requires prescribed classes of companies to appoint an internal auditor to conduct a periodic internal audit of the functions and activities of the company. The internal auditor may be a chartered accountant, a cost accountant, or such other professional as the Board decides, and may be an individual, a partnership firm or a body corporate. The auditor need not be an employee of the company. The Central Government prescribes the manner and intervals of the audit through rules made under sub-section (2). This is the operative provision that distinguishes internal audit from the statutory audit under Section 143 and the tax audit under Section 44AB of the Income-tax Act 1961.
View sourceRule 13 sets out which companies must appoint an internal auditor. Every listed company is covered. An unlisted public company is covered if it had paid-up share capital of fifty crore rupees or more, or turnover of two hundred crore rupees or more, or outstanding loans or borrowings from banks or public financial institutions of one hundred crore rupees or more, or outstanding deposits of twenty-five crore rupees or more, during the preceding financial year. A private company is covered if turnover was two hundred crore rupees or more, or outstanding loans or borrowings from banks or public financial institutions were one hundred crore rupees or more. Under sub-rule (2) the Board, in consultation with the internal auditor and the audit committee, formulates the scope, functioning, periodicity and methodology.
View sourceThe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India has issued the Framework Governing Internal Audits together with a series of Standards on Internal Audit (SIA) that guide the planning, evidence gathering, documentation, supervision and reporting of an internal audit assignment. These standards promote a risk-based internal audit approach, define the nature of assurance provided, and address internal controls, fraud consideration and communication with those charged with governance. While the SIAs are recommendatory for members, they represent the accepted professional benchmark and are frequently referenced when the Board or audit committee assesses the quality and independence of the internal audit function.
View sourceSection 450 is the residuary penalty provision. Where a company or officer contravenes a provision of the Act, or a rule made under it, for which no specific penalty is separately provided, the company and every officer in default are liable to a penalty of ten thousand rupees, and in the case of a continuing contravention a further penalty of one thousand rupees for each day the contravention continues, subject to a maximum of two lakh rupees for a company and fifty thousand rupees for an officer. Because Section 138 and Rule 13 do not carry a bespoke penalty, failure to appoint an internal auditor when required is enforced through Section 450.
View sourceThe Companies (Auditor's Report) Order 2020 requires the statutory auditor to state whether the company has an internal audit system commensurate with the size and nature of its business, and whether the reports of the internal auditors for the period under audit were considered by the statutory auditor. An adverse or qualified comment here signals to lenders, investors and regulators that internal controls are weak. This clause is a practical driver for maintaining a documented, functioning internal audit even where the strict Rule 13 thresholds are borderline, because the statutory auditor must form and disclose a view.
View sourceSection 177 governs the Audit Committee, which prescribed companies must constitute. The committee's terms of reference expressly include evaluation of internal financial controls and risk management systems and reviewing the adequacy of the internal audit function, including the structure of the internal audit department, staffing and seniority of the official heading it, reporting structure, coverage and frequency of internal audit. The committee also discusses with internal auditors any significant findings and follow-up. Where no audit committee exists, the Board discharges this oversight. This is why the internal audit report is directed to the audit committee or Board rather than filed with the Registrar.
View sourceStatutory correspondence for Koyambedu businesses routes through the Anna Nagar Division, so we align every Internal Audit engagement to that jurisdiction from the start.

Risk-based audit prioritises audit effort based on the risk register and heat map. The internal auditor builds a risk universe of all business processes, scores each on inherent risk (likelihood × impact), maps existing controls and computes residual risk. High residual risk areas — revenue recognition, vendor onboarding, related-party transactions, IT access — are audited...
Inherent risk is the susceptibility of a process or assertion to material misstatement before considering any controls — driven by complexity, transaction volume, judgment intensity and external factors. Residual risk is the risk that remains after the design and operating effectiveness of controls is factored in. Internal audit focuses testing intensity on residual risk because...
Testing of Design (ToD) evaluates whether a control, if operating as documented, would prevent or detect a material misstatement — done through walkthroughs, process narratives and inspection of single instances. Testing of Operating Effectiveness (ToE) evaluates whether the control consistently operated over the period — done through sample-based reperformance, observation and inspection of multiple instances.
A walkthrough is the tracing of one or two transactions from initiation through processing, recording and reporting — touching every control point along the way. It establishes process understanding and validates the design of key controls. Walkthroughs are mandatory for ICFR audits under the ICAI Guidance Note on IFC 2015 and are typically performed at...

“FilingPro took over our Section 138 internal audit when we crossed the ₹200 crore turnover threshold. They built the risk universe in three weeks, walked through every cycle and the first quarterly Audit Committee pack was ready inside 60 days. SIA-compliant work product, no fluff.”
“Our listed entity needed ICFR testing aligned with the ICAI Guidance Note 2015 — FilingPro mapped every key control to the COSO components, ran ToD and ToE with statistical sampling and the IFC documentation cleared the statutory auditor's review without a single rework. Excellent depth.”
“Independent internal audit on procurement and inventory cycles for our Chennai manufacturing unit. They identified a vendor SOD conflict that had been open for two years and a slow-moving inventory provision shortfall — both quantified and remediated within the quarter. Real value, not a tick-box exercise.”
“Switched to FilingPro after a Big-Four practice quoted three times the fee for our private limited company internal audit. Same SIA framework, same quality reports, fraction of the cost — and the partner attends every Audit Committee meeting. Highly recommended for SME boards.”
“ITGC review of our Oracle ERP environment — access management, change management, SOD conflict matrix, privileged user recertification. FilingPro's IT auditor knew Oracle role profiles cold. Findings drove three months of remediation and our SOX-grade documentation is now audit-ready.”
“Section 143(12) fraud reporting concern surfaced through our whistleblower line. FilingPro investigated the case under SIA 240 protocols, documented evidence, presented findings to the Audit Committee under Section 177(9) and the matter was closed without any reportable fraud.
