1) statutory audit as the name suggests, is an audit stipulated by any Act. in common parlance, we use it to be synonymous with audit under Companies Act. Tax audit is also a statutory audit in the sense that it has been stipulated by an Act, the IT Act 1961.
2) For Companies Act, all companies, big or small are liable to audit.
