As per order no. F. No. 52/26/CAB-2010 DATED 24 January, 2012, cost audit is compulsory for the industry covered under that order for the financial year 2012-13.

As per above mentioned circular if the company covered under Companies (Cost Accounting Records) Rules, 2011, then it shall be audited its cost account by cost auditor  since 1st April 2012. Is it correct?

Both the Rules i.e., Cost Accounting Record Rules (CARR) 2011 and Cost Audit Report Rules (CAR) 2011 are different. Those companies which are covered under CARR they have to submit compliance report in specified form to the Central Government and those for which order u/s 233B is given by the Central Government they have to submit Cost Audit Report to Central Government. Under the above order cost audit is compulsory for the Financial Year 2012-13
