Banking Inspection Department-II (BID-II) is one of the core departments of SBP with a pivotal role of meeting SBP’s main responsibility of supervising the financial institutions to maintain soundness of the financial system and safeguarding the interest of depositors, thereby ensuring public confidence in the system. It also strives to safeguard interest of stakeholders through proactive inspection, compatible with best international practices in keeping with changing global environment in financial sector.

On-site inspection is considered as key supervisory tool as it provides updated information on the standing of an institution. The regular on-site inspection of Banks/ Development Finance Institution (DFI) is conducted on the basis of CAMELS Framework (Capital, Asset Quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and System & Controls). The focus of inspection is generally on risk assessment, compliance with laws, regulations & supervisory directives, compliance with policies & procedures, adequacy of internal control, governance framework and practices. In addition to regular on-site assessment based on CAMELS Framework, the shariah compliance aspect is also examined for the Islamic banks.

On-site inspections are conducted pursuant to an approved inspection schedule. The frequency of inspections depends on rating of the inspected bank/ DFI with focus of supervisory resources on systemically important institutions and those posing higher supervisory concerns. The bank examiners document their assessment of institution in the form of inspection reports, which are finalized after due discussions with the banks’ senior management. The inspection reports are shared with the respective institutions and concerned departments of SBP.
