It is my strong belief that to maintain the momentum of economic growth in India, it is of utmost importance to ensure that banking sector stays healthy, safe and sound. For safe and sound banking sector, one of the most important factors is reliable financial information supported by quality bank audits. The present scenario requires special and added attention of bank auditors who are entrusted with the responsibility of bank audits as their professional duty. said Parvez Ahmed in his opening remarks on the occasion.
In todays times, banks are exposed to number of audits such as statutory audits for which this seminar is meant for, concurrent audit IT audit, credit / legal / stock audits. Not only this, the regulator (RBI) also conducts risk based audit and these audits are the backbone of the public trust reposed in the banking sector by millions of customers. As such, bank audit is of paramount importance for the banking sector and banking regulator, as well as auditors and for our nation as a whole. Maintaining audit quality in bank audits is of great significance and for this there are huge expectations from the Chartered Accountants in their role of auditors. Let’s keep the tradition of societal trust intact, added the Chairman and CEO JK Bank.
