Determination of Outlier Status of Branches
Audit Rating Symbols* Description (Score in all area 1000 i.e. CRM, ORM & FEMA)
AAA CRM: Score >=85%, ORM: Score >=85%, FEMA: Score >=85%
AAB CRM: Score >=85%, ORM: Score >=85%, FEMA: Score >= 72.50% but < 85%
ACA CRM: Score >=85%,ORM: Score >=65% but < 72.50%, FEMA: Score >=85%
*1st Character of Audit rating Symbol is for CRM, 2nd Character for ORM & 3rd Character for FEMA. The branches which are
not subjected to FEMA audit will be rated only for CRM and ORM, i.e. 2 Character rating.
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:
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

Penalty for submission of False Compliance to an Minimum 20 + 10 for each subsequent false compliance but

30 – CRM
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.
