In Long Form Audit Report Questionnaire, in case of Branches, Observation is

sought for the following (under the heading Assets > Serial number 1(a)):

Does the branch generally carry cash balances, which vary significantly from the

limits fixed by the controlling authorities of the Bank? Whether excess balances

have been reported to the controlling authorities of the Bank?

For the first part of the question above, the Auditor is required to obtain the cash

retention limit of branch. He should review the cash records and comment, whether

cash balance generally exceeds significantly the retention limit or not. For the same,

he should verify the instances of cash balances which have exceeded the retention

limit.

It is advisable to quantify and provide measurable observation instead of giving

a general or vague one. Using Ms-Excel, the same can be done with ease.

Step 1 : Getting the Relevant file / data typed

In CBS environment, details of daily cash balances for the year can be generated

from the bank as text file or html file. If case the same is not available, the balances

date-wise can be typed in an excel sheet for further analysis.

Step 2 : Copy the data into Excel

If the data are in text / html file, the same can be copied to excel directly. Also, if the

data copied are not split into proper columns, the same can be converted into

meaningful columns by using the option “Text to Columns” under “Data”tab in

Excel 2007 or above.

Step 3 : Remove unwanted rows / columns

Remove unwanted columns to see that “Date” column and “Amount Column” are

available for analysis for the year.

EXCEL TIPS

Step 4 :Converting figures into positive, if negative

Step 5: Analysis of retention using IF Function Enter the Cash retention limit in the sheet in C1 (as in the figure below)

Then type the formula =if(B4>C$1,”Exceeds Limit”,” Within Limit) in C4.

C$1 being absolute reference is used as data in Cell C1 is going to be static and will

not be changed when dragging downwards. Alternatively $C$1 can also be used.

Note : Usage of $ before the cell reference means the cell will remain static when

dragged/copied horizontally i.e. row wise whereas use of $ between the cell reference like C$1

means the cell will remain stable when dragged/copied vertically i.e. column wise

Once done, the formula as in C4 can be copied in all the following rows. Same will look as in the following figure.

Step 6 : Using Countif function to get the Summary Using the countif function, it is possible to obtain the number of the days the cash balance exceeded the retention limit.

Step 7 : Minimum and Maximum Cash Balance Additionally, the minimum and the maximum cash balance held during the year can also provided in LFAR. Workings / Formula for the same as follows :

Step 8: Why this review?

The trend of the balances during the year will help the management take decision

i) to review the cash retention limit.

ii) Take insurance cover that may be required for the branch and

iii) take measures to see that the excess money is put to productive use.

Step 9 : Reporting

Illustrative answer to the question as per above analysis may be therefore as

under :

i) The Cash retention limit of the branch is Rs. 15 Lakhs.

ii) The Cash balances from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 were verified. Cash

balance exceeded the retention limits on 293 days (including holidays) during the

year.

iii) The maximum amount of cash balance was observed on Jan30, 2014 being Rs.

1228.03lakhs and minimum amount of cash balance was observed on Mar 22, 2014

being Rs. 2.29 lakhs.

Note :Where the retention limit has undergone change during the year, the retention limit

can be typed inadjacent column. “IF” formula can then be given further in such a way that it

checks the cash balance with retention limit day wise and gives the output accordingly.

Norms for recognizing Non Performing Assets

Is the one Ceases to generate income for the bank

Term loans (whether short term or long term) will become NPA

o If interest and/or installment of principal remain overdue for a period

of 90 days or more

Bills purchased / Packing Credit / Post shipment credit will become NPA

o If the bill remains overdue for a period of more than 90 days

Cash credit / Overdraft accounts will become NPA

o If the account becomes “out of order“ OR

o If the account is running with temporary deficiency

Asset classification to be borrower wise and not facility wise

o When a loan account of a borrower becomes NPA all the account of

that borrower will also become NPA

o If devolved LCs or invoked guarantees are parked in a separate

account and they remain overdue for more than 90 days then that

account also be considered as principal operating account and IRAC

norms would apply.

Important Terms used in NPA classifications

o Overdue - Any amount due to the bank under any credit facility is

‘overdue’ if it is not paid on the due date fixed by the bank.

o Out of order for CC / OD –

If outstanding balance remains continuously in excess of the

sanctioned limit / drawing power (> 90 days)

No credits in the account continuously for 90 days as on the date

of balance sheet

Credits are not enough to cover the interest debited during the

same period.

o How Drawing power is calculated?

Value of stocks + Value of Debtors (if forming part of security

for CC a/c) – Unpaid stocks – Slow, Non-moving and dead

stocks – Bills under LC - Margin = Drawing Power

o Accounts with Temporary deficiency

If the outstanding in the account based on drawing power

calculated from stock statements older than 3 months is treated

as irregular. If such irregular drawings are permitted in CC for a

continuous period of 90 days the account has to be classified as

NPA

An account where the regular/adhoc credit limits have not been

reviewed/renewed within 180 days from the due date / date of

adhoc sanction will be treated as NPA.

Audit procedures that may be employed in identification of NPAs

Get over due reports as on the reporting date – track all accounts with

more than 90 days over due

Get SMA report for the last 3 quarters including for the quarter under

audit – get explanation for all the accounts which have been repeated

Employ analytical review procedure – backward calculations

Obtain loan balancing file – compare the outstanding of the loan with the

sanctioned limit and see the date of loan given.

Jewel loans – exceeding 12 months

Asset classification to be facility wise and not borrower wise – Take

customer ID as the base.

Agricultural Advances – NPA norms

Agricultural

Advances

Categories of NPA

Category of NPA Meaning

1. Sub-Standard Asset

An advance which has remained

NPA for a period less than or

equal to 12 months.

2. Doubtful Asset

An advance which has remained

in sub-standard category for a

period of 12 months.

3. Loss Asset

An advance identified as loss

asset by the bank or internal or

external auditors or the RBI

inspection

Important Points on Doubtful and Loss assets

A borrowal account shall not be allowed to go through normal stages of

classification when there are potential threats of recovery on account of

erosion in value of security or existence of other factors like fraud it should

straight away classified as doubtful or loss assets.

If the security given by the borrower has been eroded more than 50% which

was accepted by RBI or bank at the time of last inspection the same should be

classified as doubtful category and provisioning should be made accordingly.

If the realizable value of the security as assessed by bank or approved valuers

or RBI is less than 10% of outstanding in the borrowal accounts, the existence

Page 18: Sivakasi Branch of SIRC of ICAIsbsirc.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Newsletter-SBSIRC-April-2018.pdf · due care in Statutory Audit and gain valuable knowledge. Our profession is

Sivakasi Branch of SIRC of ICAI Newsletter- April 2018

17 For Private Circulation Only

of security should be ignored and the asset should be straight away classified

to loss category.

Salient Points relating to NPA norms

Generally banks should recognize income on NPAs only on cash basis and

not on accrual basis. (This rule is applicable even for government guaranteed

advances also)

Interest on advances against term deposits, NSCs, KVPs, IVPs, Life policies

may be taken on accrual basis subject to availability of adequate margins

Once an account is marked NPA all the unrealized interest and other charges

debited to borrowers’ account should be reversed. Also the banks should stop

charging income and other charges to borrowers’ account. However banks

can charge interest and other charges to borrower’s account which may be

kept off the books.

Interest realized on NPAs may be taken to income account provided the

credits in the accounts towards interests are not out of fresh / additional

credit facilities sanctioned to the borrower concerned.

In the absence of a clear agreement between the bank and the borrower for

the purpose of appropriation of recoveries in NPA (i.e. towards principal or

interest due) banks should adopt an accounting principle and exercise the

right of appropriation of recoveries in a uniform and consistent manner.

Advances guaranteed by central government need not be classified as NPA

Will become NPA if the government repudiates guarantee.

Page 19: Sivakasi Branch of SIRC of ICAIsbsirc.in/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Newsletter-SBSIRC-April-2018.pdf · due care in Statutory Audit and gain valuable knowledge. Our profession is

Sivakasi Branch of SIRC of ICAI Newsletter- April 2018

18 For Private Circulation Only

Income recognition should be continued to be on cash basis even if the central

government does not repudiate but the account becomes NPA as per norms.

Hence a central government guaranteed account though not classified as NPA

(though they are NPAs as per norms) income should be recognized only on

cash basis.

Above exemptions are not available to state government guaranteed

advances.

Advances under consortium agreements

Asset classification should be based on record of recovery of individual

member banks

Where the remittances of borrower are pooled with one bank and where the

bank receiving remittances are not parting with the share of other banks, the

account will be treated as not serviced in the books of other member banks

and therefore to be treated as NPA.

Where member banks are able to get a declaration as to sharing of recovery

that can be treated as express consent for transfer of share of recovery.

Up gradation of loan accounts classified as NPA

If arrears of interest and principal are paid by the borrower in case of loans

classified as NPAs, the account no longer should be treated as NPA and

upgraded to “Standard category”

Different principle for up gradation of restructured accounts is dealt in

separately.

project loans

Example – setting up of a manufacturing unit – expansion of installed

capacity – Construction of bridges, roads, dams etc.,- Purchase of a machinery

Banks must fix a date of commencement of commercial operations (DCCO)

for all project loans at the time of sanctions / financial closure.

22 For Private Circulation Only

Above concessions are granted by banks because the borrower is in a financial

difficulty due to economic or legal reasons.

Extension or deferment of EMI to class of borrowers will not be called as

restructuring of advances.

Basically restructuring involves loss to the bank in the form of erosion in fair

value of advance.

Normal Asset Classification norms will not apply to a restructured account

An account should be immediately classified as Sub-standard asset once it is

restructured.
