What Is Concurrent Audit

Concurrent Audit Catches Problems While You Can Still Fix Them.

By the time a statutory audit flags an issue — an unauthorised disbursement, a KYC gap, a mis-calculated charge — the transaction is months old and the damage is done. Concurrent audit closes that gap.

It's the systematic, ongoing examination of transactions as they occur or shortly after — so problems are identified and corrected in real time, not at year-end. That's why the RBI mandates concurrent audit for banks, and why NBFCs, co-operative banks, brokers, and high-volume businesses increasingly rely on it too.

At PKJN & Associates LLP, our concurrent audit is a live control layer over your operations — complementing the annual assurance provided by our Audit & Assurance practice and the control documentation in our Risk Control Matrix work.

What Concurrent Audit Covers

  • Advances & credit — sanction, documentation, disbursement, NPA
  • Cash, deposits & daily transaction verification
  • KYC, AML & regulatory compliance (RBI / SEBI)
  • Revenue & income leakage — interest, fees & charges
  • Treasury, forex & investment operations
  • Reconciliations & house-keeping review
  • Real-time exception reporting to management
  • Follow-up on rectification & escalation

Our Coverage

Six Core Areas of Our Concurrent Audit

Coverage is tailored to your sector, transaction volume, and regulator — with a strong focus on the high-risk areas where errors and leakage are most likely.

01

Advances & Credit Monitoring

We verify loan sanctions against terms, check documentation and security creation, confirm disbursement and end-use, and review asset classification and provisioning — the highest-risk area in any lending institution.

Credit Risk
02

Cash, Deposits & Transactions

We review cash management, deposit operations, and day-to-day transactions for accuracy, authorisation, and adherence to procedure — catching irregularities in the areas that move fastest and highest in volume.

Daily Operations
03

KYC, AML & Regulatory Compliance

We check customer due diligence, monitoring of suspicious transactions, and adherence to RBI, SEBI, and other regulatory norms — the compliance failures that attract penalties and reputational damage.

Regulatory
04

Revenue & Income Leakage Review

We check that interest, commission, processing fees, and charges are correctly applied and recovered. Across high volumes, small under-recoveries add up fast — plugging them often more than pays for the audit.

Revenue Protection
05

Treasury, Forex & Investments

We review treasury deals, foreign exchange transactions, and the investment portfolio for adherence to limits, valuation, settlement, and regulatory norms — the areas where a single error can be material.

Treasury Risk
06

Exception Reporting & Feedback

Issues are flagged as they arise, not buried in a year-end report. We provide real-time exceptions plus consolidated periodic reports to your management and audit committee, and track every item to closure.

Reporting

How We Work

Our Four-Phase Concurrent Audit Process

A structured, ongoing cycle — from defining coverage to closing out every exception — designed to give management continuous assurance.

1

Scoping & Coverage Planning

We agree the units, branches, and high-risk areas to cover, the audit frequency, and the checklists — aligned to your regulator's requirements and risk profile.

2

Ongoing Transaction Review

Our auditors examine transactions concurrently — daily, weekly, or monthly by volume — testing accuracy, authorisation, documentation, and compliance.

3

Exception Flagging & Reporting

Irregularities are flagged in real time and compiled into periodic reports, so management sees issues while they can still be acted on.

4

Follow-up & Closure

We track rectification of every flagged item, escalate unresolved issues, and report status to management and the audit committee.

Statutory audit is periodic and retrospective — it examines transactions once a year, after they've already occurred. Concurrent audit is continuous and near-real-time: transactions are examined as they happen or shortly after, so errors, fraud, non-compliance, and revenue leakage are caught while they can still be corrected. The two are complementary — concurrent audit strengthens day-to-day control, while statutory audit provides the annual independent opinion.
Yes. The Reserve Bank of India requires banks to operate a concurrent audit system as part of their internal control framework. The coverage — which branches and areas, and how much of the bank's advances and deposits are covered — is decided by the bank's audit committee within RBI's guidelines, with a strong focus on high-risk areas. We conduct RBI-aligned concurrent audits for bank branches and scale coverage to your requirements.
Concurrent audit is most established in banks, where it's required by the RBI. Beyond banks, it's widely adopted by NBFCs (increasingly so under scale-based regulation), urban and co-operative banks, stock brokers and depository participants for specific functions under SEBI norms, insurers, and any business with high transaction volumes where real-time control matters. We assess whether concurrent audit is required or advisable for your organisation.
For a bank or NBFC, concurrent audit typically covers advances and credit (sanction, documentation, disbursement, end-use, and NPA classification), cash and deposit operations, KYC and AML compliance, treasury and forex transactions, investments, income and revenue leakage, reconciliations, and regulatory compliance with RBI or SEBI norms. The scope is tailored to your risk profile and the regulator's requirements.
Revenue leakage happens when interest, commission, processing fees, or charges are wrongly calculated, waived, or simply missed — small errors that add up to significant amounts across high transaction volumes. Concurrent audit reviews these on an ongoing basis, flagging under-recoveries as they occur so they can be corrected promptly. For many clients, plugging revenue leakage more than covers the cost of the audit itself.
Concurrent audit is, by definition, ongoing — auditors review transactions continuously or at close intervals rather than once a year. In practice this usually means an auditor present at, or reviewing, the unit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis depending on transaction volume and risk, with exception reports and a consolidated report submitted periodically (often monthly and quarterly) to management.
