ICAI-Expert Panel to address queries on Bank Audit 2012

FOR THE ATTENTION OF THE MEMBERS
EXPERT PANEL FOR ADDRESSING QUERIES ARISING
DURING BANK BRANCH AUDITS FOR YEAR ENDING 31ST MARCH 2012

Dear Members,
The bank audit season is around the corner. Given the fact that the banking industry is typical in terms
of its geographical and customer spread, the volume and varied nature of products and services offered,
coupled with the strict constraints for completing the audits, the members, many a times, face a lot of
issues/ queries while conducting Bank Branch Audit. These could include determination of NPA status,
implications of complicated data found in a branch audit, unavailability of any relevant RBI circular,
implications of the requirements of an RBI circular, nature and adequacy of documentation, possible
wordings of the audit report on some important matters in branch audit, issues relating to LFAR, etc.
With a view to support our members for fast resolution of such queries, the Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board and the Committee on Information Technology are pleased to offer an Online support

ended 31st March 2012. The queries can be sent at bankauditfaq@icai.org.
