The recent disclosure by IndusInd Bank regarding discrepancies in derivative book accounting result in a loss of 2.27% of the bank's net worth, lower than the initial estimate.
The impact of the discrepancies is limited to what was previously ascertained by the management, which is considered positive in the near term.
The focus now shifts to the forensic audit report to determine the root cause and accounting for the discrepancies.
Obtaining more clarity around management succession is a key concern in the near-medium term, alongside other factors such as credit costs and sustainable margins.
