A private company cannot act as an Internal Auditor as per section 138 of the companies act and respective rules. However, for independent financial due diligence (not mentioned under the Companies Act) a private company can be appointed.

Thanks Yash... But just one more doubt it says that any other professional as per section 138 and the same is no where defined whether such professional can be a body corporate or company or firm type of constitution....?

Hi.  As per the notification (MCA-Noticfication no. 742(E) -dt.-27.07.2016 Cos-Acc.-Amendmnt-Rules-2016), a body corporate can be an internal auditor under section 138. Refer to clause 4 of this notification which amends principle rule 13. An individual, partnership firm or a body corporate can be an internal auditor. Since a private company cannot be a body corporate it cannot be an internal auditor. 

nice but I want to became career in acting line so how do I can tell me
Thanks Yash for the notification....
why private company is not a body corporate?
The definition of body corporate includes a company.
