Yo-Yo Finance Limited is a NBFC-ML as per revised categorisation of NBFC done by RBI. YAK & Associates, firm of chartered accountants, are appointed as Statutory Auditors of the Company for the year 2023-24. The audit team consist of CA Y, 1 Audit Manager and 3 junior assistants. The Audit Manager is recently appointed, who is not having much exposure in the field of Auditing of NBFCs. During the engagement team meeting, the Audit Manager asked CA Y, regarding the audit procedures to be undertaken to verify whether the aforesaid Company has followed Prudential Norms? As an Engagement partner suggest any four procedures to the Audit Manager.
Suggested Answer and Working Notes:
Or (c) Audit procedures to be undertaken by YAK & Associates to verify that Yo-Yo Finance Limited has followed NBFC Prudential Norms:- (i) Check compliance with prudential norms encompassing income recognition, income from investments, accounting standards, accounting for investments, asset classification, provisioning for bad and doubtful debts, capital adequacy norms, prohibition on granting of loans by a NBFC against its own shares, prohibition on loans and investments for failure to repay public deposits and norms for concentration of credit/investments. (ii) An auditor should ensure that the Board of Directors of every NBFC granting/intending to grant demand/call loans shall frame and implement a policy for the company. (iii) An auditor should assess on the basis of examinations conducted by him whether the NBFC has complied with the prudential norms. In particular, he should verify that advances and other credit facilities have been properly classified as standard/substandard/doubtful/loss and that proper provision has been made in accordance with the Directions. (iv) In respect of Non-Performing Assets, an auditor should check whether the unrealized income in respect of such assets has not been taken to the Profit & Loss Account on an accrual basis. Income from NPAs should be accounted for on realization basis only. (v) Check whether all accounts which have been classified as NPAs in the previous year also continue to be shown as such in the current year also. If the same is not treated as an NPA in the current year, the auditor should specifically examine such accounts to ascertain whether the account has become regular and the same can be treated as performing as per the Directions.
