Allocation of Banks and finalisation of Statutory Branch Auditors are in process. It is expected that the same shall be completed by the end of first week of March. As you know there are 26 public sector banks and like previous year Fifteen banks shall opt for autonomy. But in practical ,there will not be change of any policy as these Banks shall appoint the Branch Statutory Auditors by their own but they have to pick the auditors from the panel given by RBI. The only change in the name of autonomy is that first these fifteen Banks shall choose their auditors and get apprpval of their lists from RBI.The remaining Banks shall then appoint the Auditors from the remaining list of Auditors furnished by RBI to Eleven Banks.So overall, there is nothing injurious or new in this kind of Autonomy. Fifteen Banks who have taken the autonomy are;-
| Allahabad Bank | ||
| Andhra Bank | ||
| Bank of Baroda | ||
| Bank of India | ||
| Bank of Maharashtra | ||
| Canara Bank | ||
| Central Bank of India | ||
| Indian Overseas Bank | ||
| OBC | ||
| Punjab & Sind Bank | ||
| Punjab National Bank | ||
| SBI | ||
| Syndicate Bank | ||
| UCO Bank | ||
| Union Bank of India | ||
The remaining Eleven banks shall be able to complete the process till 10th March 2010.

in the market we have heard that bank officers are selecting the auditors on the basis of infomations given by the CAs who are close to them and on their observations they are alloting the audits
Dear Amresh Sir,
Nice to see you commenting on our site.
I am fond of your emails from last 3 years the time I joined your group as most of your emails were informative and helped me enrich my knowledge further.
You really doing great job on yahoo.
Thanks again
Dear SS,
We are unnecessarily making a hype of Autonomy to bank. If i take your apprehension of selecting the Auditors from their cjoice or not to award the audits to all the auditors of RBI list. it was very much there. What;s a new in this autonomy .Everything is there as usual.
The above observations was made by me at my Group and the same has been posted here without the refrence of originator.Its painful, we are observing the Bank behaviour very closely and i feel we are unnecessarily worried over the new system.
All is well my dear.
The real harm in the Autonomy given to the 11 banks is that they can fire the Auditors who may not be ” Moderate ” in their professional approach or whose report causes more provisioning or even those who do not take it easy to the graevious irregularities . In short the banks may opt for the report friendly CAs as the Auditors for their Banks. Even after the Satyam episoe we decline to learn lessons. What best can be done is that the banks may given a choice to represent the RBI about their dissatisfaction of a particular Auditor with proper and reasonable evidence so that the Regulator can take due action in this regard. The autonony system will definitely give room for ” lobbying”
