Farewell Note to Mr. Aditya Puri
Dear Mr. Puri,

Sometimes words are not enough to express the
influence you have had in building HDFC Bank into
an industry bellwether in 25 years. Yet, as you leave
behind your indelible imprint on everything we do today,
we extend the humble two words of ‘thank you’ to
express our gratitude for making us an integral part of a
transformative journey. The roadmap you have given us
– we will tread on that.
The journey that began during the initial phase of India’s

liberalisation now connects the many Bharats that
live within. As we take confident strides into a rapidly
changing digital world with a customer first approach,
knowledge, simplicity, empathy in our DNA, we remain

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With reference to Financial Statements

A Bank’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A Bank’s internal financial control with reference to financial statements includes
those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Bank; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Bank are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
Bank; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition
of the Bank’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls With Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

A Bank’s internal financial control with reference to consolidated financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A Bank’s internal financial control with reference to
consolidated financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Bank; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Bank are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of management and directors of the Bank; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Bank’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements.
