19 September 2009 This is not possible to conduct internal audit by the statutory auditor. Only a statutory auditor can work in areas like ICOFAR. Both these discipline have different set of objectives and can't be intermingled. I don't know of any such SEBI initiatives.

20 September 2009 Members attention is also invited to Circular No. 29/76, dated 27-8-1976 issued by the Department of Company Affairs (now known as Ministry of Corporate Affairs) wherein the Department of Company Affairs has specifically prohibited a statutory auditor of a company from becoming the internal auditor of the same company. Members attention is further invited to the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute, which also prohibits a statutory auditor to accept an internal audit engagement of the same auditee.
