The true financial position of bank is often obscured by the accounting period involving its assets and liabilities. The prudential guidelines focus o the assets side of banks balance sheet i.e. loans and advances.

In the past, bank different scientifically on the condition under which loan is classified recoverable, doubtful or lost.

As such conditions were inherently judgment and there were high potentials for substantial under provision implying that many banks could appear healthier than they really are.
