Dear Member,
As you may be aware that every year the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board of the ICAI brings out the publication “Guidance Note on Audit of Banks” to provide guidance to the members carrying out audits of banks and bank branches.
This year also, the Board is in the process of bringing out the Guidance Note on Audit of Banks 2019 edition.
