Harnessing Talent and Providing Quality Service April 2008Vol. 11 No. 1

Anil Sathe

Dear Members,

The month of April has arrived and most of you must be sweating it out tomeet deadlines. In this month, audits of banks have to be completed. To me,target dates set by banks appear to be unreasonable.

In his classical role, an auditor is required to express his opinion on whetherthe accounts show a true and fair view. In the case of bank audits withstringent deadlines, the time available to him to form such an opinion isextremely short. It is true that technology permits an auditor to access andanalyse a large volume of data quickly, but I believe that forming an opinionon the basis of that data is a process that is inherently time consuming.

Further, certain banks are in the process of overhauling their systems, or fine-tuning them. In certain cases the original documents of borrowers aremaintained at a central location and are processed there. This results in theauditor having limited time for verification and this in turn puts his team underpressure.

I think many of these problems can be solved if appointment of auditors ismade early, maybe in the month of December. This will give enough timeto the auditor to carry out the verification process prior to the close of thefinancial year. He may also be able to suggest rectification measures. Theaudit process can therefore be carried out in two stages. The cost for theauditee will obviously increase but will impart the much needed value addition.

I am fully conscious of the fact that it is essential for auditees that the auditprocess is completed quickly. Users want information to be authentic, accurateand upto date. However I believe the quality of response is as important asits speed.

At the Society, we try to bring to members best of both worlds. Someprogrammes enable them to upgrade their professional skills while othersenrich and enhance the quality of human life. I invite members to take benefitof all such programmes.

As members experience the heat of work this summer, I wish them all successin meeting the April deadlines. May the fruits of labour be sweet !

Courtesy is the shortest distance between two people.
