Hai Guys. please anyone answer to my question

As per Sec.233(1) of the companies Act 1956 the cost audit shall be carried out by Cost accountants/firm of cost accountants

It also syas that a CA can do the cost audit provided that he should have the prescribed qualification.

My question is that What are the prescribed qualification for this purpose ? (Please give section/Rule number)

Whether Any CA who have qualified the final examination of ICWAI (but not a member of ICWAI) can do the cost audit?

Pleased help me

No now a CA can not do the Cost Audit................

Its written in Companies Act but Cost Audit Rules doesn't permit a CA for Cost Audit.
