In contrast to most audits performed after transactions, concurrent audits are conducted in real-time as transactions unfold. This proactive approach serves as an early warning system, facilitating the timely identification of irregularities and shortcomings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a9b599b32ac4bb0e4eb1c03de74109af\">The concurrent audit encompasses every transaction within the bank, making it essential to have a grasp of the bank&#8217;s operational procedures to conduct this audit effectively. Banking operations encompass a wide range of functions, including but not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6a83889a7919c686c56aab9c32c833c5\">\u2705 Acceptance of deposits<br>\u2705Loans and advances<br>\u2705Cash management<br>\u2705Safety Lockers<br>\u2705 Forex<br>\u2705Bill Payment<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-db8febdeb5cdbacb73f965cd6fed8dca\">\ud835\uddd4\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfd\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf0\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf3 \ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude00\ud835\uddf6\ud835\ude01\ud835\ude00:<br>The deposits vary depending on the holder and the purpose of the account.

Nevertheless, banks must maintain an adequate cash reserve to support their ATMs. Therefore, the bank must strike a balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f1796026a1b776ea992cc2b50594a634\">\ud835\udc05\ud835\udc28\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc31:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-95a4048f3f8d5e0692ae9fe53f821fd3\">For forex operations of a bank, the auditor must ensure the following checks:<br>\u25baRate of foreign exchange on the transaction date and correct entry in books<br>\u25baAdherence to RBI norms relating to Forex<br>\u25baCorrect valuation of Forex held in hand at the time of the audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3b1e36bdbc0b7c87fee659d6c29437d1\">\ud835\udc01\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc25 \ud835\udc29\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc32\ud835\udc26\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc2d\ud835\udc2c:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a452c90824364dd11fdccfdb34d39105\">This service, provided by banks as an additional offering, allows customers to make payments for public utilities through the bank.
