08 October 2013 CA is a Qualification whereas Auditor is a Position..
After qualifying CA, a person is able to apply for the post of Auditor...

However, in some cases Auditor may or may not be a CA,

Via SSC exams a graduate can be appoint as an internal Auditor..

But a Chartered Accountant is the only who can be appointed as a Statutory Auditor...
