Finacle Commands for concurrent auditors Page 5: Daily Cash Balance Checking:

With the help of finacle complex banking problems have become much easier but as a concurrent auditor if you don’t know how to use it, its utility is nil to you and it will make your head to ache. In my first experience with finacle during the initial days of conducting Concurrent audit of a bank I also faced the same scenario. I was on the first interaction page wondering what to do with this software, but with the help of my Principal I developed a smooth hand on its use and learnt a lot about it. It is much easier to use than it seems to you when you first visit a bank for audit purposes. Here I’m going to share its use and help those who are at the same stage this time as I was before a couple of months.
