Internal audit has been defined by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India as the process of handling risks in an organization. Some of the principles related to internal audit deal with the best practices that are followed by the management of an organization. Internal audit functioning is governed by the ICAI and these frameworks apply to all practitioners throughout India.
When it comes to international standards of internal audit, international accounting practices are followed. The principles and rules which need to be followed by companies in India are governed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

According to section 138 of the CA 2013 the company board apart from having a chartered accountant can also have a cost accountant for the performance of internal audit functions of the board.
