During video conferencing with President ICAI it was discussed that IBA has given recommendations to RBI that this year statutory bank branch audit should be skipped.
IBA has given such recommendations on the basis of numerous mails and requests received by banks from auditors to whom branch has been allotted, requesting that, because of Corona outbreak they can't travel to undertake outstation branch audits and hence, either local branches be allotted to them or, records will be made available in their office.
So IBA has make an opinion that auditors will not be able to do audit this year.
*The President informed that he is trying his best that the same should not happen.*
I request all the members not to send these types of requests and mail to banks and wait for lockdown over.
