Findings :
Internship program provides me lot of opportunities to learn many things from different situations after joining
with AHKC. Some observations are discussed below:
It is found that the papers provided by the client are not always appropriate.
The auditors are sometimes biased by their clients to furnish the incentive files according to the client’s
calculation amount.
Auditors go for factory visit after fixation of a date.
However, AHKC follows the rules and regulation of Bangladesh Bank Circular in case of Cash Incentive Files.

Recommendation
Sometimes, the client of the bank provides inappropriate documents. It wastes valuable times of auditors.
So, the applicants should deliver appropriate documents.
Sometimes, the auditors are biased by the clients to equip the incentive files according to the client’s
calculation amount. As per audit rules, auditors should drop out of those client’s files.
Auditors should not visit exporters’ factory by fixing date with the exporter. If they do so, it can help the
exporters to manipulate their documents and information.
Exporter’s bank should not be given the power for everything because bank always wants to retain its existing
clients and also try to attract new clients.
Delay audit can assist beneficiary to make false documents for cash incentive. In that case, auditors should
confirm from the bank whether all the documents submitted by the applicants are true or not. After getting
conformation, auditors should start audit work .

Limitations of the study
The timeframe for internships was insufficient to conduct a huge course of audit practice of cash Incentive.
Innate Limitations.
Bangladesh Bank regularly revises new notices and old ones and this nature of their change require auditors to
continue to do so regularly
As a junior auditor in the Cash Incentives team, I have received a limited amount of work responsibilities only
when dealing with the processing issues.
