Message

Dear colleagues,
Namaskaram!

I am very pleased to present the Background Material on Bank Finance and NBFC.
Businesses and enterprises being revenue driven require immaculate resource
mobilization and optimum deployment. When it comes to finance, it has to be cost
effective, aligned to the requirements of the objectives. With the dawn of
liberalization, privatization and globalization in the early part of last decade, the realm
of finance as a subject has undergone sea change.

There has been paradigm shift in the field of business finance and has tremendously
realigned the role and relationships amongst the resource seekers, resource providers
and the intermediaries. The role of the government, the exchequer and the
regulators, have become all the more pervasive in the dominion of finance and
financial markets the world over. The environment becomes even more arduous in
the times of turbulence.

The Dynamic Scenario and the Chartered Accountant


The dynamic scenario essentially demands that the professionals at the helm of
finance function of the corporations and other segments of the economy bring
themselves inline with the need of the hour by upgrading knowledge and skills to
match the societal expectations. The background of a Chartered Accountant is the
most ripe to unlearn the past and learn the contemporary with ease and speed. Deep
knowledge of business, its operational jugglery and implication of minutest of the
managerial decisions came natural to a Chartered Accountant.

Keeping the same in view, the need for organization Seminar on resource mobilization
in current scenario and the role of the Chartered Accountants in the preparation of
Project Report so as to meet the appraisal criteria of the bankers was felt by us,
similarly the audit seasons being on and seeing the regulatory specific reporting
requirements. In case of audit of Non Banking Financial Companies particularly the
requirement of exception Audit reporting requirements and the Seminar on legal
framework and regulatory means in case of NBFC was felt.
I personally offer my heartiest gratitude to CA. Rajeev Kumar and CA. Walter D’Souza.
I am also thankful to Shri Anil Girotra, Executive Director, Andhra Bank for his valuable
time he has kindly agreed to spare. The contributors have spent their precious time to
compile the data. I appreciate and compliment them for their brilliant effort. I believe
that this Background Material will surely find a suitable place in the library which
would be used as a guide & referencer in cases of any required information, doubts.

I place on records the cooperation of all the office bearers and my colleagues in the
Council for their encouragement and cooperation in bringing this background material
for your use

Warm Regards & Best of Luck.

Chartered Accountant Jayate.

Risk Weighted Assets (RWA)

borrower/ hirer is a must ¾ Public auction of the asset
¾ Reminders/ notices of default should be sent to defaulting borrower/
hirer ¾ Getting the vehicle transferred often takes lot of effort and time at the

¾ Intimation to the concerned police station in writing and/or by dialing
the centralized control room at the telephone no.100 immediately after
repossession ¾ Huge tax arrears/ RTOs dues often become a stumbling block
¾ Notice to the defaulting borrower/ hirer informing him of repossession
and giving him a final opportunity to repay and take back the asset ¾ Corruption and malpractices at the RTOs
¾ There is also an equally important need to fix up borrowers/hirers
responsibilities:

- should surrender the asset in case of default


- should ensure that the asset is in an up kept condition
