JYOTHI CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT SOCIETY NYT.,MUDHOL.


A co-operative society is often a voluntary association of individuals who come together with the
intention to work together and to promote their economic interest. These societies work on the principle
of self-help as well as mutual help. The primary goal is to provide support to the members.
Cooperative banking refers to a small financial institution started by a group of individuals to address the
capital needs of their specific community. Such financial institutions are owned and controlled by their
members, and the board members are democratically selected to oversee the operations
The supervisory committee is charged with the responsibility of supervising or over sighting all the
operations of the society at all levels. This is a responsibility accorded to them by the members. The
supervisory committee being briefed of their roles and trained by the sub county cooperative officer in
addition an internal auditor is attached to them. They have express authority to access all sections of the
society. The Management committee BOD, directs the affairs of the cooperative. The fourth organ is the
management team that is hired as a team of professionals to run the affairs of the cooperative on a day to
day basis and on behalf of the board of directors.
An Organizational Profile Is a framework for understanding the internal and external factors that shape
the operating environment of a business and affect the business decisions made.
It aims to evaluate whether the national legislation in place supports or hampers the development of
cooperatives, and is, therefore “cooperative friendly” or not, and the degree to which it may be considered
so, also in comparison to the legislation in force in other countries of the ICA region, or at the
supranational level.

In addition, the research aims to provide recommendations for eventual renewal of the legal frameworks
in place in order to understand what changes in the current legislation would be necessary to improve its
degree of “cooperative friendliness”, which is to say, to make the legislation more favourable to
cooperatives, also in consideration of their specific identity. This webpage presents a snapshot of the legal
framework analysis results for India.

HISTORY :

HISTORY OF JYOTHI CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT SOCIETY NYT., MUDHOL


The banking system is an integral part of the financial sector of our country. Therefore, the role
of banking in our economy must be seen in the context of its fundamental role in the entire
financial sector. The financial sector plays a major role in mobilization and allocation of savings.
Financial institutions, instrument and markets which constitutes the financial sector act as
aconduit for the transfer of financial resources from net savers to the net borrowers, i.e.
From those who spend less than they earn more than they spend. The financial sector performs
the basic economic function of intermediation essentially through four transformation
mechanisms.
Liability asset transformation: It means that accepting deposits as a liability and converting them
in to assets such as loans
Size transformation: i.e. providing large loans on the basis of assorted large medium and small
deposits.
Maturity transformation: i.e. offering savers deposits according to their liability preferences
while providing borrowers with loans of required maturities.

SPECIALITIES :
According to Calvert, “Co-operation is a specialized form of economic organization in which
people voluntarily associate together on a basis of equality for the promotion of their common
economic interests”.
A Co-operative Society is an enterprise formed and directed by an association of users, applying
within itself, the rules of democracy, and directly intended to serve both its own members and
the community as a whole – Lambert.

A co-operative society is a special type of business organization different from other forms of
organization.

Specialities:

• To promote economic interests of the members in accordance with the co-operative


principles;
• To provide short and medium term loans;
• To promote savings habit among members;
• To supply agricultural inputs like fertilizers, seeds, insecticides and implements; • To
provide marketing facilities for the sale of agricultural produces; and
• To supply domestic products requirements such as sugar, kerosene, etc.
All agriculturists, agricultural labourers, artisans and small traders in the villages can become
members of the society.

1. Minimum short-term loan of Rs.2 lakhs for a society to become a viable unit.
2. Coverage of villages with a gross cropped area of 2000 ha to achieve this level of
business.
3. Appointment of a suitably trained full – time paid secretary to manage its affairs.
The National Bank has formulated a scheme known as instant fresh finance scheme during
1988-89 to issue timely fresh credit to those members of PACS who have repaid their early dues.
This policy improvement should go a long way to build confidence of the members in their
cooperative society as no member was allowed fresh loan irrespective of whether he has paid or
not repaid the loan when the society as such was declared ineligible for fresh financing.

The major functions of CCB / DCCBs are:

To meet the credit requirements of member societies;


To perform banking business; to act as balancing centres for the PACS by diverting the surplus
funds of some societies to those which face shortage of funds;

• To guide and supervise the PACS; and


• To undertake non-credit activities.
• The area of operation is generally a district.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CREDIT CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY NYT., MUDHOL


Cooperative boards of directors can be made up of representatives from each member entity,
creating a situation almost resembling a congressional body. Having a representative from each
organization on the board of directors of a cooperative ensures that each company has a voice in
strategic decision-making. This can ease relations between members of a co-op, which may have
been direct competitors before entering into the partnership. Because of this, nonprofit board

JYOTI CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT SOCIETY NYT., MUDHOL Page 3 of 23


B.V.V.SANGHA’S
S.R.KANTHI ARTS, COMMERCE & SCIENCE COLLEGE MUDHOL-587313.
members almost have to play the role of politicians as well as business leaders, keeping relations
smooth between all of the member entities.
A board of directors in a cooperative functions as a policy-making body when it comes to big
picture issues such as financial responsibility, equal employment opportunity issues, compliance
with applicable legal guidelines and the co-op’s business dealings with its own members. Board
members also create policies governing the appointment and duties of board officers, including
the board president, secretary and treasurer. The board may set specific guidelines for hiring
practices to ensure compliance with EEO laws, for example, or may set policies regarding
executive compensation.

Financial Functions
Cooperative boards of directors are actively involved in the budgeting and financial reporting
processes of the organizations they oversee. Board members function as intermediaries between
the organization and external stakeholders at annual meetings, press conferences and public
relations events, as well as setting financial goals for co-op managers to reach for. In this way,
board members function as the face of the cooperative when dealing with the public and
potential investors.
The Board Meeting Is convened once in a month. The Executive Committee Meeting is
convened once a month.
In addition, we are also having Sub Committees consisting of Board of Directors in each
Committee to monitor the functions of the Bank and District Central Cooperative society .

PROCEDURE OF THE INTERNAL CHECK:

JYOTI CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT SOCIETY NYT., MUDHOL Page 4 of 23


B.V.V.SANGHA’S
S.R.KANTHI ARTS, COMMERCE & SCIENCE COLLEGE MUDHOL-587313.
Meaning: An internal check is a continuous process of the accounting system to check for errors
or fraud in bookkeeping operations for early detection and prevention. The internal check is an
arrangement of the duties of the staff members of the accounting functions in such a way that
another automatically checks the work performed by a person.
In the opinion of Spicer and Pegler, “A system of internal check is an arrangement of staff duties,
whereby no one person is allowed to carry through and to record every aspect of a transaction so
that without collusion between two or more persons, fraud is activated and at the same time the
possibilities of errors are reduced to the minimum”.
L.R. Dicksee defines an internal check as “an arrangement of book-keeping routine that errors
and frauds are likely to be prevented or discovered by the very operation of the book-keeping
itself.”
Internal check means a continuous internal audit carried on by the staff, using which other staff
members independently check each individual’s work.

Characteristics of internal check:

8 qualities make an internal check system more effective and efficient.

1. Division of Work
2. Provision of Check
3. Use of Devices
4. Self-balancing System
5. Job Rotation
6. Specialization
7. Control

Division of Work

No one should be allowed to have the right to perform the work from origin to end.
For example – a transaction of sale may have to be split into a display of article by staff, the
preparation of invoice by another, the receipt of cash against the invoice by a third clerk, the
delivery of article against the proof of receipted invoice by another clerk, checking of outward
movement of an article against delivery order by a clerk and so on.
In big business houses, such specialized tasks increase work speed and automatically introduce
internal checks.

Provision of Check
An organization should set up such provisions so that work can be checked by other staff. An
officer can check the work of one staff by transferring to the staff and again.

JYOTI CO-OPERATIVE CREDIT SOCIETY NYT., MUDHOL Page 5 of 23


B.V.V.SANGHA’S
S.R.KANTHI ARTS, COMMERCE & SCIENCE COLLEGE MUDHOL-587313.
Use of Devices In this modem world, various devices can perform various functions like time
record machines, wage determination machines, etc. An organization should use machines that
help to make the work of internal checks easier.

Self-balancing System
An organization can use self-balancing ledger accounts, which help to make the work of internal
checks easier. Its effectiveness depends on its management.

Job Rotation
No individual clerk should be allowed to occupy a particular area of operation for long.
Familiarity with and exclusiveness in a position offer a person greater flexibility to attempt
manipulation with the system.

Specialization
Every staff may not have such specialized knowledge to maintain accounts properly. So, an
organization should give training to increase their skills so that internal checks can be made
more effective.

Control
There is more chance of fraud where there is direct contact between consumers or the public. So,
a manager can keep an eye on those works so that the internal check system can be more
effective.

Authority Level
There must be clear-cut authority levels according to sanctions for various transactions.
Commensurate to the authority vested, responsibility must be extracted. The existence of
authority levels results in a review of the operations of subordinates.

The auditor may show slackness at work. He may rely on the system of internal check
blindfolds, which may adversely affect the quality of audit work. This is also a serious defect of
the system of internal checks.

Not Suitable for Small Concerns

CONCLUSION:

Verifies that all accounts and transactions are posted correctly and that the
trial balance is in balance. Segregation of Duties: This internal check ensures that no single
individual has control over a transaction from start to finish.
A system through which the accounting procedures of an organisation are so laid out that
the accounts procedures are not under the absolute and independent control of any person.
Internal auditing is a professional activity involved in helping organizations to achieve their
stated objectives. It does this by utilizing a systematic methodology for analysing business
processes, procedures and activities with the goal of highlighting organizational problems
and recommending solutions.
If the controls are found to be effective, the auditor may rely on them to reduce the extent
of substantive testing. If the controls are found to be ineffective or have material
weaknesses, the auditor will need to plan and perform additional audit procedures to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence.
Generally today a step forward in banks' perception of necessity in forming efficient
management system and internal control system has been made. But still there're many
questions remaining which are important to work out (like providing integration of banking
community and supervision authority approaches in different aspects).
All in all, control system is an important part of banking activity, maintaining its reputation.
And at any time any financial institution can't do without it.
The internal audit function of corporate governance provides objective and independent
assurance and consulting services designed to add value and improve the company's
sustainable performance in the areas of operations, risk management, internal controls,
financial reporting, and government processes.
Internal auditors are well trained and positioned to provide numerous assurance services
to their organization. The emerging trend toward more emphasis on MBL of governance,
economic, ethical, social, and environmental performance requires organizations to provide
assurance on a variety of their performance measures and achievements. SOX does not
directly address internal auditor responsibilities or internal audit function.
