Long Form Audit Report (LFAR) is a detailed Report on deficiencies/ non-compliance of various regulations observed by the Auditor during the course of his Audit, which cant be reported in his main Report. The simplest example of the same is observations / deficiencies in a Loan Account.

Thanks,

Vinod

Generally docments verification for the granting of advances is importent area however formet provided by the bank at the time of appiontment is required to be fill. so u can not skip any area as this is not importent.

Loans r granted after documentation of necessary documents like DP notes, Sales agreement, RC buk etc. U hav check it. Advances are the most importent area in bank concurrent audit as it can not be checked in statutory audit of banks. However bank provides formet for report. U hav to check all the points as specified in the formet.
