Memorandum of hanges
The memorandum of changes generally accompanies the branch audit reports. Any changes which are material and which have an impact on assets and liabilities, classification of advances and profit and loss account are suggested through memorandum of changes, which form part of auditors report
Normally before the final report auditors observations are incorporated in the books of account and modified financial statements are prepared while in case of banks by the time report is sent by auditors there is compilation at regional and Zonal level hence there is another statement called Memorandum of Changes (MOC). Main report must state about this and also shall mention whether MOC is nil or contains observation
The following points have to be noted about memorandum of change:
There should be clear justification for every change suggested by auditor
The format of MOC in most banks will have both sides like a trial balance. It should be ensured that total of change suggested in balance sheet and profit and loss account is tallied on both accounts
