EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We reviewed the operations of the Hippodrome business office for the period November
01, 2020- December 31, 2021. The objectives of the audit include:
A profit variance of XAF 144Mn before tax was realized for the period January to
December 2021 against a budgeted amount of XAF 2,005Mn compared to XAF
944Mn profit realized the same period in 2020, which is very unfavourable.
Loan risk assets and deposit liabilities as at 31/12/2021 stood at XAF 38,297Mn and
XAF 50,636Mn compared to budgeted figures of XAF 29,541Mn and XAF 49,558Mn
respectively, therefore the budget was realized at 129.77 % and 102.13%
respectively, which is a positive result.
Sight deposits which could be withdrawn at short notice represented 58.83% (XAF
29,788Mn) of the deposit liabilities (50,636Mn) and hence, exposure to liquidity risk.
We did a trend analysis regarding the performance of the business office for 5 years
2017-2021 as summarized in the table below:
- Income has been constantly decreasing over the five years and conversely expenses
constantly increasing. This negatively impacted operating profit over the years and
in 2021 a loss of FCFA 144million was recorded,
- NPLs have been constant or increasing over the years meaning no improvement in
the risk management culture of the bank,
- Impressive improvement in deposit mobilization,
- Dormant accounts is another critical area of concern and in 2021 the dormant
accounts skyrocketed from 176 in 2020 to 2118 accounts in 2021.

No tracker for guarantees issued to customer with conditionality.
255 current/checking accounts did not witnessed any turnover for the period
November 2020 and December 2021 but recorded unearned charges worth XAF 43Mn
which impacted the P&L of the Unit and related taxes paid to the State.
High acquisition cost for term deposits especially that of XAF 15 billion by CNPS at
5.5% excluding the intermediation fee. The funds are loaned out to some highly
indebted customers at an interest rate of between 6% and 7% (Groupe SOMAF, BUNS

etc implying that the Bank is making little or no profit.
The ICO was not performing her duties as per the control activities proof chart at the
respective frequencies and had captured only 18 exceptions between January and
December 2021.
Adding Value Through Effective Evaluation and Improvement of Risk Management, Control and Governance Processes Page 6 of
INTERNAL AUDIT
The interview conducted with the ROs, BM and Regional manager regarding the
business office management and supervision, revealed that there was no effective
team work or team cohesion among the sales team of the business unit (ROs and
BM).
462 ATM cards and 462 pins were pending collection in the business office but no
strategies were put in place to ensure they are distributed to the customers.
418 cheque booklets pending collection but there was no strategy put in pace to
ensure effective distribution of the booklets.
Archiving in the business office was a course for concern evidence being that
requested documents for review were not timely submitted and some were not
submitted.
We reviewed the proofs of sensitive and suspense accounts submitted to us by the ICO
as at 30/06/2021 and noted that they were long outstanding items pending
regularization.
We noted that the business office hierarchy has not being putting in the required
efforts to implement audit recommendations to resolve issues raised during previous
audit engagements thereby defeating the purpose of auditing the operations of the
unit.
We noted shortcomings in the account opening process as follows; no follow up of
accounts opened with deferred documents, non-authentication of documents
submitted by customers, cancellation of information on customer`s request by 3C etc.
The Mail registers were poorly maintained, staff discharged mails without signing, and
others signed without indicating their names.
The keys register is not updated. The keys of all the doors in the unit have not been
recorded in the register.
We noted that the terms of the security contract signed between the Bank and the
Commissioner of the Commissariat of the First district of Yaounde are not being
respected by the police guards. The policemen are not in their uniforms.
Results of the Audit: From the audit conducted, we noted laxity in the implementation of
the control measures put in place by the Bank’s staff. The BM/BOS should reinforce
compliance to management directives; COBAC regulations etc. and the ICO should
ensure the effectiveness of control activities in the business office in order to build a
strong control environment.

Detailed findings
1. Risk assets
a) Overdrafts
A TOD of XAF 4 500 000 000 granted to GROUPE SOMAF (231720101585807) for 24
months (17/08/2021 to 17/08/2023) had the following issues; land title N° 02468
presented as a guarantee to the TOD has not yet been mortgaged, there is no credit
Convention regarding the OD and there is no succession plan in place. Customer
account had a debit balance of XAF 1 780 072 364 as at 31/12/2021. It is also important
to note that the TOD is just at an interest rate of 6 % per annum which is relatively
very low meanwhile the bank accepts term deposits at the rate of 5.5% e.g. CNPS
which therefore implied no business.
The lines for bill discounting of BOFAS have expired on November 10Th 2021 but XAF
110Mn and XAF 162Mn were granted to the customer on 29/11/2021 and on
05/12/2021 respectively in the main and the sub accounts. XAF 162Mn granted was
out of his line of credit (bill discounting) hence the additional facility increases the
credit risk(already rated very high)
Overdrafts totaling XAF 100Mn were granted in 07 newly opened accounts with no
other credit movements apart from the initial deposits (see appendix 1). From the
review of the account opening documentation of these accounts, we noted that the
seven accounts presented many similarities for instance the account opening dates,
the presentation of the account opening requests, the overdraft requests and the date
overdrafts were granted (29/12/2021). Our discussion with the BM revealed that the
overdrafts were granted at the request of the Minister of Territorial Administration to
pay Custom duties for the cars purchased by the ministry; hence it could be deduced
that all the seven accounts were linked to the minister of Territorial Administration.
This scenario requires more vigilance.
We noted income leakages of 1 071 137 and 1 650 000 on unauthorized overdrawn
amounts in March to June and September 2021 respectively in the account of
Soulemane Grand Lux 01605643.
The account of Alpha Engineering witnessed an increase in the debit balance of XAF
48Mn being an OD granted on 21/01/2021. The debit balance as at 30/11/2021 stood
at XAF -332 409 280 compared to XAF -284 196 980 as at 30/11/2020. In 2021 the
account witnessed credit movements totaling XAF 182Mn but the customer consumed
XAF172Mn.
The business office does not maintain a tracker for the monitoring of bill discounted to
ensure the discounted bills are effectively paid through the customers` accounts to
cover the facility granted to the customers secured by those bills.

CHICAM COMPANY-0231720106993460 has a TOD line of XAF 60 000 000 for 12 months
period (12/01/2021 to 12/01/2022). The Guarantor Joe Conner has two land titles
(land title N°.29807 and N° .5572) mean while his two accounts with us
0231720101517907 and 0231720101517939 respectively has debit balances of XAF
321 902 616 and XAF 301 578 950. CHICAM COMPANY account currently has a
debit balance of XAF 31 534 267 and his TOD line expired on the 12/01/2022.
Boh Plantation account number 231720104762557 requested for an extension of the
tenor of their overdraft facility to 31/12/2021 assuring that the European Union would
have paid back an undisclosed amount he had used for the project. Account was
indebted to the tone of XAF 439,209,746 as at 31/12/2021 without cover.
A credit convention has been signed between the bank and BUNS SARL but a review
of the convention reveals the following omissions;
The inventory of the assets of Njong Eric Njong and their respective values were not
done given that he is a personal guarantor of the indebtedness BUNS SARL which as
per the convention was XAF 7,145,231,268. If the facility becomes doubtful it will be
very difficult or impossible to recover.
No proof that the caterpillars have been insured and register with RCCM etc.
Business risk:
Possible increase of NPL
Income leakages of XAF 2,721,137
Capital tied down, huge financial lost in case of any default
Recommendation:
BM should ensure that:
The income leakages are regularized
Overdrafts granted to the new accounts are monitored till full repayment and secondly
to avoid dormancy of the accounts after payments are received.
The land title pledged as a guarantee should be mortgaged and a credit convention
established.
A good succession plan should be provided by GROUPE SOMAF.
The BM should strictly monitor the account of CHICAM COMPANY and even inform the
promoter in writing since the customer’s TOD line has already expired.
Auditee response-BM:

INTERNAL AUDIT
For SOULEYMANE GRAND LUX, there is no income leakage. The customer received funds
not linked to the facility granted, reason why some withdrawals were made based on the
received funds.
For ALPHA ENGINEERING, there is a tracker for new contracts. For the all contracts it’s
very difficult to get it since it was not hand over to me by my predecessor. The debit in
account is the result of the non-payments of the all contracts. What we are trying to do
actually it’s prefinancing the customer for the new contract in order to reimburse the old
debit.

b) Fresh loans
The loan installment amount on the repayment schedule (399 287 037) for the loan of
3.2Bn granted to BOFAS on 06/11/2020 is different from the amount settled every
quarter (396 351 855) giving a difference of XAF 2 935 182 and this may prolong the
repayment period.
The loan installment for the 5th quarter payable in January 2022 has not yet been
settled. At the time of our review the customer had not made provision to cover the
loan installment and there was no evidence that the customer was notify ahead of
time, nor was reminder of the pending unpaid installment.
The source of payment of a Loan of XAF 20Mn granted to Manu SARL (construction
works of the command center Buea) is different from the purpose of the loan
(construction work at Douala port and a project at Banyo) ;
Loans granted to employees of blue chip companies were observed to be high 10Mn
and above considering the high repayment capacities; however it is worth noting that
the employees of some of these companies are volatile mostly multinational
companies or NGOs thus require much attention on the part of the bank.
Land title No 6208/Mezam vol 31 Folio 145 submitted by Mbaka Senior SARL account
number 0231720106746110 to cover a loan of XAF 48 million granted to the
customer on 05/03/2021 has not been perfected. The outstanding loan amount is XAF
28,586,857 as at 05/02/2022.
Adding Value Through Effective Evaluation and Improvement of Risk Management, Control and Governance Processes Page 14 of
INTERNAL AUDIT
The Business Unit should not only focus on salaries but should also monitor the
stability of the employers of the customers through regular checks/follow up.
The land certificate submitted by Mbaka Senior SARL is mortgaged to secure the loan
granted to the customer.
Auditee response-BM:
For the customer BOFAS SARL, the company is facing financial difficulties because on
non- payments of his bills.
Below are the awaited payments:
When the customer is facing a situation like this we have to show a concern instead of
put pressure on him because he can have a heart attack. The work is done but payments
are not followed. However the customer promised to review hit network payments this
week of 07/03/2022 because we informed him through whatsapp channel to do
something.
For the retail loans, the monitoring is done and the credit department has taken some
measures to reduce the NPL.

2. Contingents Liabilities
No tracker for guarantees given to customer with conditionality.
64 guarantees worth XAF 2,612,659,434 that were given to customers within the
period November 2020 and December 2021 are backed by cash collateral constituted
of 35.19% implying that 64.81% of the caution amount was uncovered. See Appendix
2.
No scrutiny of customers` requests: Customers submit requests/correspondences to the
bank without the names of the signatory of the account and their functions but were
received and processed. For instance 2 requests by ERDEM OFIS DEKORASYON MOBILYA
SANAYI VE DIS TICHAT LTD. STI account number 0231720105924811 for two cautions of
XAF 819,766,869 and XAF 204,941,717 respectively etc.
The outstanding ongoing guarantees of the business office as at 31/12/2021 were
XAF 10,140,625,858 as summarized per guarantee type in the table below with an
insufficient cash collateral of XAF 2,615,861,139 representing 25.80%.

High credit risk
Adding Value Through Effective Evaluation and Improvement of Risk Management, Control and Governance Processes Page 17 of
INTERNAL AUDIT
Recommendation:
BM should ensure that guarantees are issued only to credit worthy customers and
should be well secured/covered.
Provisions should be constituted for the guarantees given to customers that have
become doubtful.
Customers` requests should be properly scrutinized prior to processing.
Consequently, the BM should contact the Management of ERDEM account to come and
regularize the omissions on their requests.
Auditee response-BM:
The interview conducted with the ROs, BM and Regional manager regarding the
business office management and supervision, revealed that there was no effective
team work or team cohesion among the sales team of the business unit (ROs and
BM).
ROs complained of not being properly coached by the BM; the BM on her part, pointed
out the lack of proactiveness and at times the lack of humility of the ROs who are not
fast in learning which negatively impact customer service.
The BM was also reproached of being rude to staff even in front of customers at times.
The targets set for staff/business unit and reports were not sent timely to the
hierarchy. There was no regular follow up and monitoring of results per staff to ensure
the objectives are achieved. The BM asserted holding business meetings with ROs and
operational meetings with 3Cs and BOS but none was documented to ascertain her
assertion.
No staff in the business unit including the BM keep daily timesheets; Some
staff declared haven suspended preparing their time sheets because the
practice was not fortified in the business unit. Weekly Activity plans and
reports were not regular and were only prepared by ROs while the operational
staff did not have any. Moreover they were not filed for consultation.
The customer service is a point for concern as spelled out in all the minutes of the
Adding Value Through Effective Evaluation and Improvement of Risk Management, Control and Governance Processes Page 18 of
INTERNAL AUDIT
branch meetings but no proper measures were taken to improve to that effect; the
front office was noted to be immatured and not composed.
Adding Value Through Effective Evaluation and Improvement of Risk Management, Control and Governance Processes Page 19 of
INTERNAL AUDIT
Recommendation:
The BM should ameliorate team management to derive better results from the
business team
BOS should support the 3Cs to improve on their abilities to handle the front desk
BM should carry the team along for the realization of their objectives
Team work should be preferred to individual work (work in silos)
BM should enhance the monitoring of performances and document them accordingly
Auditee response-BM:
Note taken
Agreed deadline for resolution: 30/06/2022.
4. Accounts
have been signed by another key staff of that company), RCCM of ETS La Confiance
and ETS La Victoire etc.
No tracker for accounts opened with waivers, absence of monitoring leading to
incomplete account opening files and exposure to compliance risk.
630 accounts were opened as indicated in the table below.
960 new accounts were budgeted for 2021 and 548 were realized implying a budget
accomplishment of 57.08% as at 31/12/2021. Worthy of note is the fact that the
target for new accounts remained unchanged from 2020 to 2021 but the performance
of the business unit dropped by 3%.
The business unit opened 548 accounts in 2021 (January to December) compared to
579 accounts opened in 2020 hence a drop of 31 accounts. The number of business
accounts was very low in 2021 (64 out of 548); out of 74 business accounts opened
from November 2020 to December 2021, 32 accounts were either inactive or in debit
which is an indication of non- follow up of customers see Appendix 4
Business risk:
Recommendation:
The BM and team should contact customers with inactive accounts for proper action
Ensure all accounts have complete documentation
Create a tracker for accounts open with deferrals and monitor it properly
Auditee response-BM/BOS:
Note has been taken. Calls will be made for reactivation of accounts
Adding Value Through Effective Evaluation and Improvement of Risk Management, Control and Governance Processes Page 21 of
INTERNAL AUDIT
b) Account closure
45 accounts were closed between November 2020 and December 2021 but only 19
files were submitted for review. See Appendix 5
The BU did not exercise due diligence while receiving and treating correspondences
from customers evident by the fact that omissions on some requests were not timely
detected for correction. For instance corporate customers` requests void of the
name of the account signatories and their functions and were received and
executed/processed.
4 accounts closed within the audit period were recorded twice in the account closure
register.
We reviewed the account closed register and noted a variance of 21 accounts that
were not recorded in the register but were in the report for account close.
Risk:
Recommendation:
Auditee response-BOS:
c) Account Maintenance
In reviewing the account maintenance of the period, we observed that;
Adding Value Through Effective Evaluation and Improvement of Risk Management, Control and Governance Processes Page 23 of
INTERNAL AUDIT
Risk: High possibility of fraud, reputational damage, turnaround time during document
search.
Recommendation:
The BOS should ensure that a register is maintained for account maintenance
The 3C should make sure that Nkomo Owoundi signature card is maintained in the system.
The variations in the phone numbers should be handled immediately as this could be
avenue of fraud.
Auditee response-BOS:
Note taken
d) Dormant account
We requested for account monitoring report and it did not exist in the business unit
which is an indication that dormant accounts are not monitored.
255 accounts were dormant with outstanding total debit balance of XAF 653,987,790 as
at 31/12/2021. See Appendix 7.
Risk:
Undue taxes paid to the State for unearned income generated from dormant account.
Misstatement of the financials of the business office.
Increase of the NPL of the unit
Recommendation:
BM and ROs should analyse the debit balances in the dormant accounts for
an appropriate Management decision to be taken.
The account owners should be contacted and a report forwarded to Management
for the accounts to be closed or reactivated.
Auditee response-BM: Note taken.
Adding Value Through Effective Evaluation and Improvement of Risk Management, Control and Governance Processes Page 24 of
INTERNAL AUDIT
Business risk:
High operational risk due to undetected errors/fraud
Staff turnover and negative impact on productivity
Recommendation: ICO should exercise professionalism and due care in his present
post considering that management is aware of his interest to move to other roles in the
bank. While waiting he should fully carry out his duty based on the control activity chart
and avoid exposing the bank to high risk by not performing his task effectively.
Auditee response-ICO: I lost interest a long time ago in my current role and management
was informed accordingly. However, I will do my best to enforce controls as per the proof
chart while waiting to be moved to another role.
6. Customer Service
The customers’ complaints register had only one complaint registered, however
customer service remained a concern; customers complained about poor service
delivery to staff out of the business unit
Front desk review revealed that bank attestations; printed debit advices were not
given to customers. We equally sighted long overdue requests for ATM cards which

The Mail registers were poorly maintained, staff discharged mails without signing, and
others signed without indicating their names.
Customers’ documents are not filed appropriately in their files; we sighted some old
documents lying on the floor at the corridor leading to the special till.
The archive room was untidy and unarranged. We discovered that there were many
outdated documents in the archive which could have been sent to the main archive in
Soa to create more space.
Documents were sighted in many other locations out of the archive; document were
traced many offices among which were; the ICO, SYSTAC, BM, Head teller, corridor
leading to the special till etc. Hence, lose control over archives.
Business risk:
Customer dissatisfaction
High turnaround time to get documents
Loss of audit trail of customers instructions
Loss of documents
Litigations
Recommendation: BM should
Immediate improvement in the archiving system of the branch through:
Proper supervision of front line officers
Proper filing customers transactions tickets ,
Designate a trusted and organised staff to take ownership.
Cash vouchers are kept in trunks under lock and key;
Cash vouchers for the previous year should be transferred to the main archive.
Proper lightening system in the archive at the corridor leading to the special till;
Liaise with Logistics to create more archiving space in the business unit (build mini
cupboards; install cupboards under the staircase opposite the special till etc.)
7. Clearing
All the cheques for December 2021 were not perforated. We sighted some cheques
without the appropriate stamp (compensé le) on the back of the cheques.
Cheque register does not have the name of the person who discharged the cheques and
this is becoming a regular situation.

Incoherent recording of information on the register; the information is mix up because of the
absence of labeling of the various columns.
Risk:
Loss of audit trail regarding the whereabouts of the keys of the doors in the business office.
Insecurity around the cash area.
Inappropriate security bank assets
Processed cash vouchers in the Head teller`s office could be damaged by cockroaches

Recommendation:
The BOS should write to the DOM to authorize the destruction of the obsolete dollar
and the amount written off from the system.
The E-Banking service should be contacted to investigate the difference between the
cash in the ATM and the system balance.
The 5 coins in the vault should be regularly reinforced to the tellers who should do the
needful to pay it out to customers.
Auditee response-BOS: Mail was already sent to E-Banking concerning the cash difference
in the ATM. Mail will be sent to DOM for authorization for destruction of fake dollar.

No evidence that the ICO does his tick back using an independent teller transactions
journal as per the procedure.
No analysis of transactions on the envelopes per day by Ashimie Martina 25/01/2021.
No proper signing and dating the transaction journal report after tick back.
Performance of some tellers not competitive in relation to others. For instance, on the
05/01/2021, Stephanie Femuh processed 81 transactions, Mangwi c. 51 transactions
and Ashime Martina 55 transactions.
Risk: Fraud may go undetected, customer’s dissatisfaction due to inefficiency of some tellers.
Recommendation:
The Head teller should ensure that the GM’s Internal Memo N°: 032/GM/2014 dated
15/10/2015 on call over or tick back should be properly followed.
Tellers should be cautioned and follow up by the head tellers so as to enhance efficiency.
The BM/BOS should ensure that all registers are properly headed.
Recommendation:
The Head teller and the ICO should ensure that the service Note N°:
002/NFCB/DO/ICU/955/2012 is well implemented.
Customers should be monitored and assisted especially when they are filling the cash
deposit forms.

The expert valuation report for the land certificates were not attached to the land
certificates to assess the value of the guarantees received from the customers; thus we
were not able to quantify the guarantees in order to derive the exposure of the
business unit.
We did not see the LC 13007; 45430; 0164; 5462 of CAS (01592209)
Business risk:
Overstatement of BOFAS guarantees exposes the Bank to high credit risk
Loss of track on guarantees given by customers
The exposure of the business unit could not be assessed

a) Profitability review
The profitability of the business office has been witnessing a decrease as the year
pass by between 2017 and 2021. See Appendix 6. The highest profit was realized in
2017 XAF 1,698,667,950 and a loss of XAF 144,154,131 in 2021.
The unit realized loss of XAF 144,154,131 as at 31/12/2021 compared to profit of XAF
944,206,559 recorded the same date the previous year.
YTD profit of XAF 2,005Mn was budgeted as at 31/12/2021 but a loss of XAF 144Mn
was made due to loan provisions constituted for doubtful loans and cautions of XAF
975,893,410, negotiation fees for term deposits acquired at high interest rates of XAF
175,152,583 (CNPS, CFC, SONATREL etc.).
255 current and checking accounts did not record any credit movement between
November 2020 and December 2021 but recorded fictitious charges worth XAF
43,843,894 which impacted the P&L of the business office. See Appendix 7
b) Risk assets
Risk assets of the unit as at 31/12/2021 stood at XAF 38,296,875,11 compared to
XAF 37,969,326,129 same date the previous year imply an increase of XAF 327,548,882
(0.86%).
Risk assets were XAF 38,296,875,011 against a budgeted amount of XAF
29,541,000,000 implying 129.64% realization of the budget.
Non-performing loans were XAF 17,894,632,867 (46.73%) of the total loans which was
far above the regulatory rate of 5% and has been consistently very high between
2017 and 2021.
c) Deposit liabilities
Deposit liabilities as at 31/12/2021 stood at XAF 50,635,947,963 compared to
XAF 42,233,083,717 the same date the previous year implying an increase of
19.90% (XAF 8,402,864,246).
Deposits were budgeted at XAF 49,558,000,000 implying a budget realization of 102.18%.
Some major term deposits were acquired at very high cost e.g. CNPS XAF 15
billion, CFC XAF 2 billion at 5% and XAF 1 billion at 4% subscribed at 5.5%
excluding negotiation fee.

Recommendation:
The BOS 3C should ensure the strict implementation of the procedure for the
management of ATM cards and pins.
The trackers maintained for pending ATM cards and pins should be updated and a
column inserted for the customers` telephone numbers to permit IT or Strategy to inform
the customers through SMS to come and collect their cards.
The card numbers should be filled in the tracker for pending pins to ease the
reconciliation of pins and cards in the business office.
The padlocks of the metallic boxes where the ATM cards and pins are kept should be
replaced and all the keys kept by the custodian of the cards and pins respectively.
The 3C should contact customers whose ATM cards were captured to come and
request and collect them.
Auditee response-BOS/3C: Pad locks already replaced. Noted taken for the other points
raised.
15. SMS
A review of the report downloaded for SMS subscription revealed that 1,225
customers are subscribed to SMS banking out of 6,760 representing 18.12%. Worth
noting is that 3,118 of the accounts not subscribed to SMS were active during the
period of the audit.
Customers are subscribed to the SMS Banking without their knowledge and their
accounts debited monthly with SMS service charge in breach of the Regulation on
consumer protection.
Risk:
Recommendation:
Business office should liaise with the E-Banking service to strategize and ensure
customers subscribe to the SMS Banking in order to mitigate the associated risk while
encouraging all the customers to subscribe for the service.

a) Local transfers
19 fund transfers with amounts less that 100Mn routed through SYGMA instead of
SYSTAC, a practice to discourage because SYGMA is meant for amounts greater or equal
to 100Mn (best practice).
b) Online transfers
Online transfers witnessed an increase as seen on the table above but we noted that
there was insufficient monitoring of online transfers.
Business risk:
Breach of the exchange control regulation exposes the bank to sanctions
High risk for fraud in online transfers
Recommendations:
Monitor fund transfers in other currencies to ensure completeness of documentation
Contact customers to provide lacking documents
Regain customers who do regular transfers
Strengthen control measures for online transfers since banking has become digital.
Auditee response-BM/BOS:

Fraud could be perpetuated in suspense accounts when such accounts are not
monitored on a regular basis.
Indicators of fraud when multiple transactions are executed using the same transaction
reference.
Recommendation:
The ICO in collaboration with the BOS should forward to the Audit team the
source documents for the multiple pending transactions in GL 384108000 with the
same reference for review.
DCFO should ensure that they understand the nature of the transactions in the GLs
and question and obtain justification for pending transactions in suspense and
sensitive account.
BOS should sort the account opening files of the customers with outstanding amounts
in GL 382102000 for regularization.
BOS should work in collaboration with the ICO, Operations and FINCON to ensure long
outstanding transactions in suspense accounts are reconciled and regularized.

Recommendation:
The business team should ensure deposit acquisition is negotiated at lower rates to

We requested for the report of the recovery done by the business office for 2021 but it
did not exist in the business office. There was no reasonable assurance that the business
office was carrying out recovery at their level.
Recommendation: BM and team should do the needful to ensure recovery of NPL back by
readily available reports in the business office.
Auditee response-BM: As I explained the recovery has been handle by the BU but not
saved by the staff in charge. But since the staff was redeployed in another BU I’m the one
in charge of it and I have sent the work done.
53 assets were not found in the business office but in the fixed assets register. See
