P Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 on 3rd October, 2011. The Authorised Share Capital of the Company is ₹75 crores. The present paid-up Share Capital of the Company is ₹60 crore. The turnover of the company for financial year 2017-18 was ₹150 crores and because of good overseas marketability of the company's product, the turnover of the company for the year ended 31st March, 2019 increased to ₹210 crores. The Secretarial Auditor of the company advised that the company should have internal audit in place, but the Managing Director of the company argued that since it is a private company, so it is not required. Based on the facts in the above case, answer the following questions: In the above case if the company had been an Unlisted Public Limited and Turnover for year ended 31st March, 2019 would be ₹190 crore, what would have been your answer?

Answer & Explanation:

As per section 138 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with rule 13(1)(b) of The Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 every unlisted public company having- paid up share capital of fifty crore rupees or more during the preceding financial year; or turnover of two hundred crore rupees or more during the preceding financial year; or outstanding loans or borrowings from banks or public financial institutions exceeding one hundred crore rupees or more at any point of time during the preceding financial year; or outstanding deposits of twenty five crore rupees or more at any point of time during the preceding financial year shall be required to appoint an internal auditor. In the mentioned case, as the paid up capital is more than ₹fifty crores hence the company needs to appoint the internal auditor.
