Here are some major things to consider in a bank branch audit:

Compliance: One of the primary objectives of a bank branch audit is to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements. The auditor should review all relevant laws, regulations, and guidelines to ensure that the bank is complying with them.
Internal controls: The auditor should examine the bank's internal controls to ensure that they are effective and functioning as intended. This includes reviewing policies and procedures, testing the adequacy of internal controls, and identifying any weaknesses or gaps in the control environment.
Cash management: Cash management is a critical area of focus in a bank branch audit. The auditor should review cash management policies and procedures to ensure that they are effective in minimizing the risk of fraud or error.
Loans and advances: The auditor should review the bank's loan and advances portfolio to ensure that it is in compliance with regulatory requirements and the bank's lending policies. This includes reviewing loan documentation, testing the adequacy of loan loss provisions, and identifying any potential credit risks.
Asset quality: The auditor should review the bank's asset quality to ensure that it is not impaired by any non-performing or doubtful loans. This includes reviewing the adequacy of loan loss provisions, collateral coverage, and credit monitoring processes.
Operational efficiency: The auditor should review the efficiency and effectiveness of the bank's operations to identify areas for improvement. This includes reviewing staffing levels, branch processes, and technology utilization.
Financial reporting: The auditor should review the bank's financial reporting processes to ensure that they are accurate and reliable. This includes reviewing financial statements, disclosures, and notes to the financial statements.

Statutory bank audit is under a statute or an act of the parliament.
