Revised Compliance Workflow


Role of Auditee Units / Branches:
 Compliance can be started immediately after finalization of RFIA scores by the Internal Auditor (IA).
 Every audit observation will show number of days assigned for compliance and remaining days by OARPS.
 Compliance Evidence will be uploaded at the time of submitting compliance remarks by branches. (Authorized at
Controlling office by MMGS-III & above).
 Branch to upload the relative evidence in .jpg and PDF file formats only.
 PF Numbers of Checker-1 and Checker-2 of branches and Authorizer of Controllers would be captured in entire
compliance journey.
 Checker – 1 is to verify and authorize remarks/evidence submitted by the Field Officers /Accountant /Cash Officer
/Divisional Manager at Branches and Checker-2 is to submit final compliance remarks to Controllers.
 Accepted Compliance % for closure: Mandatory compliance percentage of 95% of the Critical/High Risk items with
overall compliance of 90%, and 100% compliance will remain as it is.

Role of Controller: Authorizing the evidence uploaded by branches should not be below MMGS-III.

Role of CAO(s)/CAU
 If Compliance Testing Universe is less than 200 items, all evidence will move to EBCT. If it is more than 200 items, 60%
of items for branches and 50% of items for the Credit CPCs with minimum sample size of 200 will move to EBCT.
 All items marked as “EBCT Not Complied” are treated as “False Compliance”.
 An official not below the rank of a GM/DGM in the CAO/CAU would confirm the false compliance in OARPS.
 Penalty of 2 marks for each false compliance remark, with a minimum penalty of 5 marks would be imposed on the
auditee unit.
Risk Focused Internal Audit Introduction of Evidenced Based Compliance Testing (EBCT)
Rationale:

• To inculcate the compliance culture in the bank.


To strengthen the compliance remarks closure process in the bank through Evidence Based Compliance

Testing.
The revised process has come into effect from 01.11.2019.

False Compliances & Penalties:


• Document upload functionality in EBCT module of OARPS, requires involvement of three branch officials viz. Maker,
Checker.
• PF ID of the Maker and Checker with time stamp will be captured in the EBCT module for recording the details of
the tellers, for eventual use by the Human Resources Department, Corporate Centre, Mumbai.
• In respect of items where the documentary evidence are either not uploaded or false compliance is uploaded, as
verified by the CAO, the Checker (Branch Manager) will be accountable for the false compliance.
• System will display the list of false compliances along with the name of the maker, checker(s), with date and time of
submission in a dashboard/report.
• The data in the dashboard/reports will be available to the concerned officials, AU and its controller(s), in respect of
their own submissions/branches only.
• Data on the false compliances i.e. Date of RFIA, Name of the Branch/ RBO/ABO/NW /Circle, Number of false
compliances, PF IDs of the concerned, Checker etc. will be shared with the HRMS team on ongoing basis.
• Penalty of 2 marks for each false compliance remark, with a minimum penalty of 20 marks would be imposed on the
auditee unit in the ongoing RFIA, for which the compliances are being submitted. The maximum penalty is restricted
to 50 marks in ORM and 30 in CRM. (20 Marks for SMA, so now only 30 Marks for CRM).
Penalty Provision for – EXTERNAL COMPLIANCE (EC)
If deviation in External Compliance reaches more than ____% in any branch / auditee unit, that unit /
>15%
branch will directly be downgraded to “C” irrespective of its score / grading.
Example : Penalty Provision for – EXTERNAL COMPLIANCE (EC)
Score Received in → CRM ORM FEMA
 Score Received 74% 86% 90%
 Risk Rating B A A
 Average Deviation level for External Compliance (EC) 9% 16% 2%
 Adjusted Risk Rating (i.e. Rating After Deviation level for EC) B C A
 Rating of the Branch BCA
Note: If External compliance deviation is <=15% then marks equivalent to deviations in External compliance will be
deducted from total score achieved in RFIA. If Deviations >15%, branch will directly be downgraded to “C”.
Trigger Based Audit with RFIA- Offsite Audit Rating

1. A full scope RFI Audit would be carried out at least once in 36 months.
2. Review of the performance of the <Branch Name (Branch Code)>would be carried out on quarterly basis through the
Outlier Identification module of RADAR.
3. A limited review the branch would be carried out within the validity period of the Trigger Based Audit with RFIA–Offsite
rating.
4. Limited review would entail scrutiny of compliances in CBS by the concerned CAO, and verification of evidence against
select control measures uploaded by the identified branches, in affirmation of the compliances scrutinized through
RADAR.
5. The rating would be eligible for continuation until the next onsite audit if the effectiveness of controls are assessed to be
satisfactory during the limited review.
6. If the following triggers are detected during the quarterly reviews, the branches will be taken up for on-
site audit, not later than the subsequent quarter.
• Outlier status of the unit slips by two stages i.e. Normal → Moderate or Acceptable → Outlier and the unit remains in
the downgraded status for the next quarter also (2 quarters continuously).
• Fraud of category Type-I or category Type-II is detected at the branch/ auditee unit. (Branches may refer to
ecircular/IMA/IMA/AUDIT/1/2018-19 dated 5th May 2018 for the various category of frauds)
• Branch is rated as Critical Risk/Very High Risk/High Risk, under the fraud predictive model of Analytics Department,
GITC.
Quality of Assets (NEW PARAMETERS REGARDING NPAs)

First Three audits of a unit, the following logic will apply for awarding score under ‘Quality of Assets’: a)Branch
facing 1st RFIA :
 Standard Asset 100% : Full Marks
 Standard Assets < 100% : No mark
b)Branch facing 2nd and/or 3rd RFIA :
 Reduction Percent> 50% then 100% of Marks will be allocated
 Reduction Percent> 25% <50% then 50% of Marks will be allocated  Reduction Percent> 10% <25% then
30% of Marks will be allocated
 Reduction Percent> 10% then 0 Marks will be allocated
c)For other branches undergoing RFIA for the 4th time or more, they will get full score if their standard assets remain 98%
or above, in case of their standard assets < 98%, the conditions mentioned at (b) (i to iv) above will apply)
PENALTY FOR FRAUD CASES
(Fraud Penalty will be imposed only in ORM area irrespective of the frauds in any area)
Frauds involving gross negligence in following of systems and
Branch will be downgraded by one
procedures, abuse of delegated powers, staff involvement for
Category-I step and score will be reduced by a
personal gains and concealing of fraudulent transactions and
minimum of 50 or more.
non-reporting to controllers
Only Negative marks of 50 will be awarded, which may
Category-II Frauds which are not covered in Category-I or may not entail adown grade of Risk Rating
depending on the score.
Frauds that have occurred mainly outside the control area of the
Category-III branch more particularly in the realm of digital banking, for No Penalty
which the branch cannot be made responsible.

Maximum penalty for giving false compliance certification in the rectification of irregularities
50 – ORM
in RFIA is ____Marks in each area i.e. CRM, ORM & FEMA
50 – FEMA
 1 false compliance to an OTMS alerts = 20 penal marks
 2 false compliances to OTMS alerts = (20 + 10) = 30 penal marks
Example
 4 false compliances to OTMS alerts = 20 penal marks + 10 for each 3 additional false compliances i.e. total
for
(20+30=50).
Penalty
in OTMS:  5 false compliances to OTMS alerts = 20 penal marks + 10 for each 3 additional false compliances i.e.
total (20+40=60) but maximum penal marks can go upto 50.
 In other word, 1st false compliance 20 marks and next will be of 10 each subject to total 50.
xample for Penal Marks in lieu of False compliance in RFIA: (other than OTMS)
It will attract 2 penal marks for each but minimum 20. (i.e. no. of false compliance from 1 to 10 will have only 20 marks) (If
no. of false compliance in RFIA are 4, penal marks will be 20 because minimum penal marks can be 20. However, if no. of
false compliance is 11, total penal marks will be [{(10 x 2) + (1 x 2)} = 22]. But if we talk about overall penal marks whether it
is related to OTMS or RFIA or both, total penal marks can be 30 in CRM, 50 in ORM only.
Suppose no. of false compliance in OTMS are 3 and no. of false compliance in RFIA are 14, then calculation of penal marks are
as under:
3 OTMS false compliance = (1x20 + 2x10) = 40 and 14 False compliances in RFIA = (10x2 + 4x2) = 28.
Total Marks 40 + 28 = 68, but total marks can be 30 in CRM & 50 in ORM wherever applicable.
Hence Total penal marks for false compliance in OTMS & RFIA & RADAR will be 30 in CRM, 50 in ORM only.
