INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To Rao & Kumar
The Shareholders Chartered Accountants
Andhra Pradesh Grameena Vikas Bank
Report on the Financial Statements

Qualified Opinion
1. We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Andhra Pradesh Grameena Vikas Bank (“the Bank”) as at March 31,
2020, which comprise the balance sheet as at March 31, 2020, the statement of Profit and Loss and the statement of cash flows
for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Incorporated in
these financial statements are the returns of:
i. The Head Office and 39 Branches audited by us;
ii. 403 Branches audited by Other Auditors
The branches audited by us and those audited by other auditors have been selected by the Bank in accordance with the
guidelines issued to the Bank by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD). Also incorporated in the
Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss Account are the returns from 333 branches (including other accounting units) which have
not been subjected to audit. These unaudited branches account for 25.00% percent of advances, 25.05% percent of deposits,
and 18.64% percent of interest income and 17.50% percent of interest expenses.
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of
the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report:
i. The Balance Sheet, read with the significant accounting policies and the notes thereon is a full and fair Balance Sheet
containing all the necessary particulars, is properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and fair view of state of affairs of the Bank as
at March 31, 2020in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India;
ii. The Profit and Loss Account, read with the significant accounting policies and the notes thereon shows a true balance of
profit in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in India, for the year covered by the account; and
iii. The Cash Flow Statement gives a true and fair view of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
2. The onset and rapid propagation of COVID-19 has caused disruptions in the banking operations, restrictions on travel,
meetings and access to client locations and other practical difficulties resulting in Distance Audit / Remote Audit / Online Audit.
Further, certain regulatory measures were announced by RBI to mitigate the burden of debt servicing brought about by
disruptions and to ensure the continuity of viable businesses. We were unable to physically verify relevant information, items,
documents and records. As a result, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments were necessary in respect of the
bank's assets that it controls, its liabilities for which it is responsible, its income and expenses for the year, and the cash flow
statement.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) issued by ICAI. Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the code of ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India
together with ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the code of ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

consider this to be a key audit matter.

Responsibility of the Management and those charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
1. The Bank's Board of Directors is responsible for preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the
financial position, financial performance and cash flows of Bank in accordance with the applicable provisions of Regional Rural
Bank Act, 1976, Banking Regulations Act,1949, applicable guidelines of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) / NABARD accounting
principles generally accepted in India, including the Accounting Standards issued by Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India(ICAI).This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of
the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Bank and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection
and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring
the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibility for audit of financial statements
2. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

Annual Report 2019-20

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal
control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
bank's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However,
future events or conditions may cause the bank to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in
our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Other Matters
7. We did not audit the financial statements / information of 333 branches included in the standalone financial statements of the
Bank whose financial statements / financial information reflect total advances of Rs. 4,830.80 Crore as at March 31, 2020 and
total revenue of Rs. 558.85 Crore (Interest on advances and Commission income) for the year ended on that date, as
considered in the standalone financial statements. The financial statements / information of these branches have been
audited by the branch auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and in our opinion in so far as it relates to the
amounts and disclosures included in respect of branches, is based solely on the report of such branch auditors.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
8. The Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss Account have been drawn up in Forms “A” and “B” respectively of the Third Schedule
to the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
Subject to the limitations of the audit indicated in paragraph 2 to6 above and subject to the limitations of disclosure required
therein, were port that:
a. We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and
belief, were necessary for the purposes of our audit and have found them to be satisfactory.
b. The transactions of the Bank, which have come to our notice, have been within the powers of the Bank.
c. The returns received from the offices and branches of the Bank have been found adequate for the
purposes of our audit.

Annual Report 2019-20

d. The Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss Account dealt with by this Report are in agreement with
the books of account and the Returns.
e. In our opinion, proper books of account as required by Law have been kept by the Bank, so far as
appears from our examination of those books
f. The Reports on the financial statements of the Branches audited by the Branch Auditors have been
dealt with in preparing our Report in the manner considered necessary by us.
In our opinion, the Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account and Cash Flow Statement comply with the applicable accounting
standards, to the extent they are not inconsistent with the accounting policies prescribed by RBI

The onset and rapid propagation of COVID-19 has caused disruptions in the banking operations, restrictions on

about the duration of the lockdown and the nature of the restrictions, limitations, regulatory requirements,
existing business environment, materiality and their possible impact on the banking operations. In this regard
certain regulatory measures were announced by RBI to mitigate the burden of debt servicing brought about by
