BANK AUDIT  IN CURRENT SCENARIO

 .

 Approx 30 years back; I remember my articleship days at Calcutta

 when I visited a Bank for statutory audit with our Audit Team.

 .

 After conducting the audit; the Team Head happily reported to the Boss :

 .

 “We have checked 80% of advances (Total advances Rs. 2 crores) and all is ok.”

 .

 The boss raised his eye brows and asked :

 .

 What about rest of Rs. 40 Lacs of advances?

 Are you sure these are not bad debts?
