Investec Private Bank South Africa Form Setup Instructions

Depending on how information can be extracted from the bank systems, a form can be set up in 2 ways:

Individual account basis
The bank can only extract form details on an individual account basis. Auditors will therefore need to set up each account number as a separate form of the form type.
Entity wide basis
The bank can extract form details on an entity wide basis. Auditors can therefore send a single form of the form type using a main account number. As information is supplied on an entity wide basis all other account numbers do NOT need to be supplied.

Form Type	Form Description	Setup Instructions	Accepted Accounts
ZA - Asset	Provides information on balances, Interest, collateral/security/facilities. Note: The bank will provide overdraft information on the ZA - Asset form.
