NO. He will get disqualification under section 226 to be appointed as statutory auditor if he is an internal auditor to the same company.

Section 226(3) of Companies Act 1956, Says that: None of the following persons shall be qualified for appointment as auditor of a company: (a) a body corporate (b) an officer or employee of the company (c) a person who is a partner, or who is in the employment of an officer or employee of the company (d) a person who is indebted to the company for an amount exceeding one thousand rupees, or who has given any guarantee or provided any security in connection with the indebtedness of any third person to the company for an amount exceeding one thousand rupees. (e) a person holding any security of that company after a period of one year from the date of commencement of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2000. Internal Auditor is Appointed by the Management of company and Auditor has to report to his appointing authority, that means an Internal Auditor is an employee of the company. An Internal Auditor and Statutory Auditor cannot be the same person because an employee of company cannot be a partner of the Statutory Auditor. Even if the member accepts the company's Internal Audit Assignment then Statutory Auditor needs to Vacate his office due to the above disqualification clause coming into effect.
