Banking Inspection Department
(BID) is one of the core departments at SBP. Its mission is to strive for soundness &
stability of the financial system and safeguard interest of stakeholders through proactive
inspection, compatible with best international practices. BID plays a pivotal role in meeting
SBP's main responsibility of supervising the financial institutions to maintain soundness of
the system and protection of the interest of depositors, thereby ensuring public confidence
in the system. In order to assess a financial institution, BID conducts regular on-site
inspection of all scheduled banks inclusive of the foreign banks & DFIs. The present
supervisory structure at the department is institution focused whereby concerned Desk In-
charges have been assigned specific institutions for effective monitoring through on-site
examination, off-site reports from Banking Supervision Department and various market
reports. The regular on-site inspection is conducted on the basis of CAMELS Framework.
(Capital, Asset Quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity, Sensitivity and System
Controls). CAMELS are an effective rating system for evaluating the soundness of

financial institutions on a uniform basis and for identifying these institutions requiring
special attention or concern. Here the focus of inspection is generally on risk assessment
policies & procedures of the banks and control environment to keep attached risks within
acceptable limits and compliance with laws, regulations, and supervisory directives.
Risk Assessment Polices
In continuation of the inspection process, discussions are held with external auditors to
review banks' internal controls, compliance with legislation & prudential standards and
adequacy of provisions. Here it would be important to mention that BID works in close
coordination with Off-Site Surveillance Desk at Banking Supervision Department and other
departments in SBP. BID conducts the regular full scope examination of banks pursuant to
an inspection schedule; however, flexibility exists in policy for frequency of inspections
depending upon the need to maintain safety & soundness. CAMELS rating are criteria to

attention. Special investigations (targeted inspections) are also conducted as and when
circumstances so warrant on the basis of complaints or market reports about specific
institution.
