BACKGROUND
RBI directed all the banks to introduce system of concurrent audit for the first time
in 1993 base don the recommendations of Ghosh committee on frauds and
malpractices in Banks.
Subsequently, a working group headed by Mr. Jilani, CMD of Punjab National
Bank, recommended some improvements in the system of concurrent audit in the
Banks. Thereafter, RBI issued fresh guidelines vide its circular dated 14th August
1996 to make the system of concurrent audit in the Banks more effective .RBI
issued another circular on 12th August 1997 in connection with enlargement of
scope of concurrent audit to cover FOREX transactions.
Introduction
CONCURRENT Auditing :
Concurrent Audit is an examination which is contemporaneous with occurrence of
transaction or is carried out as near there-to as possible. It attempts to shorten the
Interval between a transaction and its examination by an independent person not
Involved in its documentation. There is an emphasis in favour of substantive
checking in key areas rather than just checking. This audit is essentially a
management process integral to the establishment of sound internal accounting
Functions and effective controls and setting the tone for a Vigilant Internal Auditto preclude the incidence of serious errors and fraudulent manipulations.
SCOPE OF CONCURRENT auditing:

officials. The auditor will necessarily have to see whether the transactions or

bills, exercise of discretionary powers, sundry and suspense accounts, inter branch
reconciliation, clearing differences, foreign exchange business including Nostro
accounts, Off-balance sheet items like LCs and guarantees, treasury functions,
government business, customer service and credit card business.

Transactions are properly recorded documented and vouched. Spot rectification of
the irregularities and implementation of system and procedure of the bank. To

guidelines issued by the bank as well as RBI. He should also be well versed with
the functioning of different departments at the branch.
MAIN OBJECTIVES OF CONCURRENT AUDIT :

KYC NORMS
It means KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS
Know Your Customer (KYC) is the due diligence and bank regulation that
financial institutions and other regulated companies must perform to identify their
clients and ascertain relevant information pertinent to doing financial business with
them. In the USA, KYC is typically a policy implemented to conform to a
customer identification program mandated under the Bank Secrecy Act and USA
PATRIOT Act. Know your customer policies are becoming increasingly important
globally to prevent identity theft fraud, money laundering and terrorist
financing.Beyond name matching, a key aspect of KYC controls is to monitor
transactions of a customer against their recorded profile, history on the customers
account(s) and with peers.
Banks doing KYC monitoring for anti-money laundering (AML) and checks
relating to combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) increasingly use specialized
transaction monitoring software, particularly names analysis software and trend
monitoring software. The generated alerts identify unusual activity which is then
subject to due diligence or enhanced due diligence (EDD) processes that use
internal and external sources of information on the subject, including the internet.
This helps to determine whether a transaction or activity is suspicious and requires
reporting to the authorities. In the US, it would require Suspicious Activity
Reporting (SAR) filing to Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (Fin CEN). In
the UK, it would require a report to Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA). In
Canada KYC is monitored and managed by the Financial Transactions and Reports
Analysis Centre of Canada also known as FINTRAC
KYC has different connotations and the definition above is from an AML/CFT
perspective.

Know Your Customer processes are also employed by regular companies of all

distributors' anti-bribery compliance. Banks, insurers and export credit agencies are

diligence information, to verify their probity and integrity.
