16 October 2009 NO, Internal Audits can be done by any person who have the knowledge of accounting and other aspects of the respective company. There is no provision in the act that internal audit should be done only by Qualified Professionals, the only requirement is that Company should have a proper internal audit system.
But many companys prefer to conduct the internal audit by Qualified professional for reliablility purpose and for better service.
