This clause is applicable to all listed companies irrespective of the size and turnover.
Non listed companies had to satisfy the conditions so as to attract the applicability of this clause.

For applicability plz find the condition from books. However CARO nt compulser internal audit to any company, it just ask abt the internal audit is implemented or not.

The Applicability of Internal Audit, no where mentioned in the Companies act, 1956, but it is only a requirement of CARO, 2003 on which the statutory auditor (s) of those companies on which the CARO ,2003 is applicable is required to give the disclosure in his report about the compliance of the Internal Audit as required by the para VII of the said Order, hence non compliance of the said requirement by the company would be a qualification in the auditors report.

Now, from the above it is very clear that the requirement of Internal Audit is applicable on those companies on which the CARO, 2003 is applicable.

Sorry i m not agree as the disagreement with every clause in CARO not resulted in qulification. It just inquiry abt some point which can not affect true & fair view. As implementation of internal audit is not affect true & fair view so not resulted in qulification.
