FIVE-STEP DUPONT ANALYSIS
DuPont analysis is a useful technique used to decompose the different drivers of return on equity (ROE): net profit margin,
total asset turnover and financial leverage that will help us to avoid misleading conclusions regarding a company’s
profitability. In order to isolate operations and financial impacts on ROE, Net Profit margin is further broken down to
Operating profit margin, Effect of Non-operating items and Tax effect.

Particulars 2020 2019


ROE 08.78% 09.22%
Net Profit Margin 5% 5%
Contribution on Net Profit Margin:
a) Operating Profit Margin 15% 21%
b) Effect of Non-operating Items 04% 10%
c) Tax effect 5% 5%
Total Asset Turnover (times) 0.1 0.1
Financial Leverage (times) 20.68 18.89

Profit margin is a measure of profitability. It is an indicator of a company’s pricing strategies and how well the company
controls costs. Operating Profit Margin has been decreased in 2020 due to increased in profit paid to depositors. Negative
shift in operating profit margin is mainly responsible for lower ROE in 2020 compared to the previous year. However, Effect
of Non-operating Items has been decreased due to lower Provision required during the year. The combined effect of these
three factors shifted down the Net profit margin of the bank in 2020. However, as like previous year Total Asset Turnover
and Financial Leverage got an insignificant change in 2020. Having all the factors Return on Equity of the bank stood at
08.78% in 2020.

Money and Credit Market Developments
To limit the economic slowdown caused by the pandemic
and to ensure faster recovery of economic growth,
Bangladesh Bank (BB) has been pursuing an expansionary
monetary policy by setting broad money (M2) growth
targets of 14.00 and 15.00 percent for December 2020 and
June 20211, respectively. A surge in net foreign asset (NFA)
kept M2 growing closely to its program path in Q2FY21.
Although BB slashed its key policy rates in July 2020, weak
private credit demand continued in Q2FY21 resulting a
significant rise in excess liquidity in the banking system.
Led mainly by a robust NFA growth, M2 attained at 14.23
percent (y/y) growth in December 2020, which was
very close to target. The December growth rate of M2
was considerably higher than 12.04 percent growth in

Rating Conducted by Moody’s

On 14 July, 2020, SIBL was assigned b2 long-term local and foreign currency deposit and issuer ratings by Moody’s.
The rating action follows the downgrade of Bangladesh’s Macro Profile to Weak- from Weak. The b3 Baseline Credit
Assessment (BCA) reflects the bank’s (1) weak asset quality, with risks arising from credit concentration and elevated
level of rescheduled investments (loans); (2) modest capital, which improved after the bank slowed growth and froze cash
dividends; (3) weak profitability, because of its poor asset quality and reliance on expensive time deposits for funding; and
(4) tight funding and liquidity, as Islamic banks are subject to less stringent liquidity requirements than conventional banks.

REPORT ON RISK
MANAGEMENT

Risk is defined as uncertainties resulting in adverse outcome,


adverse in relation to planned objective or expectations. In the
financial arena, enterprise risks can be broadly categorized
as credit risk, operational risk, market risk and other risk. Risk
management is the deliberate acceptance of risk for profit-making.
It requires informed decisions on the tradeoff between risk and
reward, and uses various financial and other tools to maximize
risk-adjusted returns within pre-established limits. Risk-taking is
an inherent element of the banking business and, indeed, profits
are in part the reward for successful risk taking in business. On
the other hand, excessive and poorly managed risk can lead to
losses and thus endanger the safety of a bank’s depositors. The
objective of risk management system is to identify, assess, record
and actively manage any internal or external risks that could pose
a threat to the attainment of the Bank’s corporate goals.

I. Liquidity ratio
In line with the provisions of liquidity risk management under Basel III, Bangladesh Bank on the basis of the relevant
guideline of Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has identified the (i) Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR); (ii) Net Stable
Funding Ratio (NSFR); and (iii) Leverage under the purview of ‘Liquidity’ ratio vide BRPD Circular No. 18 dated 21 December
2014 and DOS Circular No. 1 dated 1 January 2015.

Qualitative Disclosures
a) i) Views of Board of Directors The Board of Directors reviews the liquidity risk of the Bank on quarterly rest while
(BOD) on system to reduce Liquidity reviewing the Quarterly Financial Statements, Stress Testing Report etc. Besides, the
Risk EC of the Board also reviews the liquidity position while reviewing the management
information system (MIS) report on monthly basis.
Upon reviewing the overall liquidity position along with the outlook of SIBL funding
need, investment opportunity, market/industry trend, the Board takes its strategic
decision regarding deposits, funding, investments, loans as well as interest rates
polices etc.
The Board of SIBL always strives to maintain adequate liquidity to meet up Bank’s
overall funding need for the huge retail depositors, borrowers’ requirements as well as
maintain regulatory requirements comfortably.
ii) Methods used to measure The maintenance of Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity Ratio
Liquidity Risk (SLR) are considered as the fundamental methods/tools to measure the liquidity
position/risk of SIBL.
However, under Basel III, the following methods and tools are mandated for measuring
the liquidity risk.
a. Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR): Liquidity Coverage Ratio ensures to maintain an
adequate level of stock of high quality liquid assets that can be converted into
cash to meet its liquidity needs (i.e. total net cash outflows) over the next 30
calendar days.
b. Net Stable Funding ratio (NSFR): Net Stable Funding Ratio aims to limit over-
reliance on short-term wholesale funding during times of abundant market
liquidity and encourage better assessment of liquidity risk across all on- and off-
balance
sheet items. The minimum acceptable value of this ratio is 100 percent, indicating
that, available stable funding (ASF) should be at least equal to required stable funding
(RSF).
ASF consists of various kinds of liabilities and capital with percentage weights
attached given their perceived stability.
RSF consists of assets and off-balance sheet items, also with percentage weights
attached given the degree to which they are illiquid or “long-term” and therefore
requires stable funding.
In addition to the above, the following measures have been put in place to monitor the
liquidity risk management position of the Bank on a continued manner:
a. Asset-Liability Maturity Analysis (Liquidity profile);
b. Whole sale borrowing capacity;
c. Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO);
Besides the above, the following tools are also used for measuring liquidity risk:
a. Stress Testing (Liquidity Stress);
b. Net open position limit - to monitor the FX funding liquidity risk;

taking into consideration of Bank’s approved investment (credit) deposit ratio, liquid
assets to total assets ratio, asset-liability maturity profile, Bank’s earning/profitability
as well as overall market behavior and sentiment etc.

Apart from the above, Risk Management Division also monitors & measures the
liquidity risk in line with the Basel III liquidity measurement tools, namely, LCR, NSFR,
Leverage Ratio. RMD addresses the key issues and strategies to maintain the Basel III
liquidity ratios to the respective division (s) on regular interval.
iv) Policies and processes for mitigating The Asset-Liability (ALCO) policy leads the process & procedures for mitigation of
Liquidity Risk liquidity risk of SIBL.

component i.e. the loans and advances and maintaining good asset quality so as to
maximize the revenue as well as the capacity to generate capital internally (in the form
of retained earnings) to trade-off the excessive leverage supposed to be caused by
asset growth.

At the outset of asset growth, the Board also views the growth of its sources of fund
i.e. deposit growth taking into consideration of projected business growth so that the
investment (credit)-deposit ratio is maintained at a sustainable basis as well as to
reduce the mismatches of asset- liability gap within the tolerable limit to manage the
liquidity risk.

balance sheet leverage requirement. To this end, the striking components of balance sheet, namely, the
deposits & borrowing, loans & advances, other liquid assets (treasury bills, bonds, fund
placements) are analyzed on monthly basis.

Measures are taken to contain the growth of overall size of balance sheet (On and Off
balance sheet exposures aggregately) considering short term outlook of the industry
indicators as well as possible growth of equity (Tier 1 capital) of the Bank on quarterly
rest.

With regard to managing the excessive leverage, the regulatory stance through the
monetary policy initiatives i.e. the scope of expected business potential (growth),
estimated money supply, inflation, resulting the estimated overall liquidity of the
industry as well as the Bank in particular is also considered.

STAKEHOLDERS’
ENGAGEMENT

“Proactive engagement with our stakeholders is an essential part


of being a responsible company. Sustainability is a shared journey
and to move forward we need to involve our stakeholders in every
step of the way. We try to engage our key stakeholders such as
our shareholders, regulators, suppliers, customers, employees
and the community on a regular basis by listening to their ideas,
concerns and advice.”

202 | SOCIAL ISLAMI BANK LIMITED


Engaging Our Stakeholders
We intend to form tangible relations with our stakeholders. This is why our reporting perception has transitioned from an
operation- oriented approach to a stakeholder-focused one. Such a focus is one of the purposes why we have mapped the
possible effect that we have on various stakeholder groups before conclusions are made.

We engage with our stakeholders in many ways and at many levels, from the queries that reach us via our website to face-
to-face meetings with government officials and regulators, customers, employees, community groups and others. Whilst
focus on certain issues such as access to finance and customer satisfaction have increased over the years, most of the
topics that stakeholders view as significant have remained consistent.

Moving forward, we expect to have better coordinated discussions with our stakeholders. While the concerns of our various
stakeholder groups do not always overlap with each other or with the business objectives of the company, dealing with
such dilemmas is an everyday part of doing business.

Services Limited, ICB Islamic Bank Limited, Reliance Finance Limited, FAS Finance and Investment Limited and Union Capital
Limited amounting total Tk. 272.14 crore. Due to Covid 19, the above NBFIs has challenged by liquidity crisis and prolonged the
withdrawal of its deposits. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
OTHER INFORMATION
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual
Report other than the consolidated and separate financial statements and our Auditors’ report thereon. The Annual Report is
expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditors’ report.
Our opinion on the consolidated and separate financial statements does not cover other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the consolidated and separate financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE
CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group and
also separate financial statements of the Bank in accordance with IFRSs as explained in note 2 and 3, and for such internal
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Bank Company Act, 1991 and the Bangladesh Bank
Regulations require the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the
Bank. The Management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal controls and
report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries.
238 | SOCIAL ISLAMI BANK LIMITED
In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the
Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group and the Bank or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s and the Bank’s financial reporting process.
AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors’ report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these consolidated and separate financial statements
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Group’s and the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our Auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated and separate financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our Auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Bank to
cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and separate financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the consolidated and separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within
the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences
of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Changes in significant accounting policies


Except for the changes below, the Bank has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these
financial statements.

IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Bank has initially adopted IFRS 16 Leases
from 1 January 2020. IFRS 16 introduced a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Bank
as a lessee, has recognised right-of-use assets representing its’ rights to use the underlying assets and lease liabilities
representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to previous accounting policies. The
Bank has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application
is recognised at 1 January 2020. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for the year ended 31 December 2019
has not been restated – i.e. it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 17 and related interpretations.

2.2 Basis of preparation of the financial statements

2.2.1 Basis of accounting


The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared under historical cost convention except investments which are
measured at present value and in accordance with “First Schedule” of the Bank Company Act, 1991 as amended under
sub-section 38(4) of the Act, relevant Bangladesh Bank Circulars and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
adopted by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB), the Companies Act, 1994, the Securities and
Exchange Rules, 1987 and other rules and regulations applicable for Banks in Bangladesh.
In cases, any requirement of provisions and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank differs with those of other regulatory
authorities, the provisions & circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank prevailed.

254 | SOCIAL ISLAMI BANK LIMITED


2.2.2 Going concern estimation
The Financial Statements, namely, Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account, Cash Flow Statements, Statement of Changes in
Equity, Statement of Liquidity Analysis and relevant notes to the financial statements and disclosures thereto, of the Bank are
prepared under historical cost convention on a going concern basis. Management of the Bank has made an estimation that
there are no possibility to liquidate the entity or to cease trading, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

2.2.3 Statement of compliance


The Financial Reporting Act 2015 (FRA) was enacted in 2015. Under the FRA, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) is
formed and it is yet to issue financial reporting standards for public interest entities such as Banks. The Bank Company Act
1991 obliges Banks to prepare their financial statements under such financial reporting standards. Due to unavailability of
any financial reporting standards by FRC, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) are still applicable.

Accordingly, the financial statements of the Bank continue to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) and the requirements of the Bank Company Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh
Bank (BB), the Companies Act 1994, Securities and Exchange Rules 1987. In case any requirement of the Bank Company
Act 1991, and provisions and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank differ with those of IFRS, the requirements of the Bank
Company Act 1991, and provisions and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank shall prevail.

According to BRPD circular no 2 dated 25 February 2019 financial statements for the Bank is prepared on a solo basis
from 2019 where OBU information is included in equivalent BDT denomination. However key financial informations of OBU
is provided as “Annexure G” the solo financial statements of the Bank. Material deviations from the requirements of IFRS in
preparing the financial statemets are as follows:

i Presentation of financial statements


IFRS: As per IAS 1, a complete set of financial statements comprises a statement of financial position, a statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income, a statement of changes in equity, a statement of cash flows, notes comprising a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and comparative information. IAS 1 has also
stated the entity to disclose assets and liabilities under current and non-current classification separately in its statement of
financial position.

Bangladesh Bank: A format of financial statements (i.e. balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flows statement,
changes inequity, liquidity statement) is prescribed in the “First Schedule” of section 38 of the Bank Company Act 1991
(amended up to 2018) and BRPD circular no. 15 dated 09 November 2009 of Bangladesh Bank. Assets and liabilities are not
classified under current and non-current heading in the prescribed format of financial statements.

ii Investment in shares and securities


IFRS: As per requirements of IFRS 9, classification and measurement of investment in shares and securities will depend
on how these are managed (the entity’s business model) and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Based on these
factors it would generally fall either under “at fair value through profit or loss account” or under “at fair value through other
comprehensive income” where any change in the fair value (as measured in accordance with IFRS 13) at the year-end is
taken to profit and loss account or other comprehensive income respectively.

Bangladesh Bank: As per Banking Regulation and Policy Department (BRPD) circular no. 15 dated 09 November 2009
investments in quoted shares and unquoted shares are revalued at the year end at market price and as per book value of
last audited balance sheet respectively. Provision should be made for any loss arising from diminution in value of investment;
otherwise investments are recognised at cost.

iii Provision on investments and off balance sheet


IFRS: As per IFRS 9 an entity shall recognise an impairment allowance on advances based on expected credit losses. At each
reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance for advances at an amount equal to the lifetime expected
credit losses if the credit risk on these advances has increased significantly since initial recognition whether assessed on
an individual or collective basis considering all reasonable information, including that which is forward-looking. For those
advances for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, at each reporting date, an entity
shall measure the impairment allowance at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses that may result from default
events on such advances that are possible within 12 months after reporting date.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular No.24 (17 November 2019), BRPD circular No.6 (19 May 2019), BRPD circular
No.4 (16 May 2019), BRPD circular No.3 (21 April 2019), BRPD circular No.15 (27 September 2017), BRPD circular No.16 (18
November 2014), BRPD circular No.14 (23 September 2012), BRPD circular No. 19 (27 December 2012), BRPD circular No.
05 (29 May 2013) and BRPD circular No.1 (20 February 2018) a general provision at 0.25% to 5% under different categories
of unclassified advances (good/standard) has to be maintained regardless of objective evidence of impairment. Also specific
provision for sub-standard advances, doubtful advances and bad losses has to be provided at 5%, 20%, 50% and 100%
respectively for advances depending on time past due. Again as per BRPD circular no. 10 dated 18 September 2007 and
BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, a general provision at 1% is required to be provided for all off-balance sheet
exposures. Such provision policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by IFRS 9.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | 255


iv Recognition of profit in suspense and compensation
IFRS: Advances to customers are generally classified at amortised cost as per IFRS 9 and profit on advance is calculated
by using the effective profit rate method to the gross carrying amount over the term of the advance. Once an advance
subsequntly become credit-impaired, the entity shall apply the effective profit rate to the amortised cost of these advances.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 15 dated 09 November 2009, once an advance is classified as impaired, profit
on such advance are not allowed to be recognised as income, rather the corresponding amount needs to be credited to an
profit in suspense account, which is presented as a liability in the balance sheet.

v Other comprehensive income


IFRS: As per IAS 1 Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is a component of financial statements or the elements of OCI are to
be included in a single other comprehensive income statement.
Bangladesh Bank: Bangladesh Bank has issued templates for financial statements which will strictly be followed by all
Banks. The templates of financial statements issued by Bangladesh Bank neither include Other Comprehensive Income nor
are the elements of Other Comprehensive Income allowed to be included in a single other Comprehensive Income (OCI)
Statement. As such the Bank does not prepare the other comprehensive income statement. However, elements of OCI, if any,
are shown in the statement of changes in equity.

vi Financial instruments – presentation and disclosure


In several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categorise, recognise, measure and present financial instruments differently
from those prescribed in IFRS 9. As such full disclosure and presentation requirements of IFRS 7 and IAS 32 cannot be made
in the financial statements.

vii Financial guarantees


IFRS: As per IFRS 9, financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the
holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtors fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or
modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognised initially at their fair value plus transaction
costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liabilities. The financial guarantee liability is subsequently
measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance for expected credit losses as per impairment requirement and the
amount initially recognised less, income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15. Financial guarantees are
included within other liabilities.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 15, financial guarantees such as letter of credit and letter of guarantee will be treated as
off-balance sheet items. No liability is recognised for the guarantee except the cash margin. As per BRPD Circular No.01
dated 03 January 2018 and BRPD Circular No.14 dated 23 September 2012, the Bank is required to maintain provision at 1%
against gross off-balance sheet exposures (which includes undrawn investment commitments).

IFRS: Cash and cash equivalent items should be reported as cash item as per IAS 7.
Bangladesh Bank: Some cash and cash equivalent items such as money at call on short notice, treasury bills with maturity
of more than three months and prize bond are not shown as cash and cash equivalents. Money at call on short notice is
shown separately in the balance sheet. Treasury bills with maturity of more than three months and prize bond are shown under
investment in the balance sheet.

ix Non-Banking assets
IFRS: No indication of Non-Banking assets is found in any IFRS.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 15, there is a separate balance sheet item named Non-Banking assets existed in the
standard format.

x Cash flow statement


IFRS: The cash flow statement can be prepared using either the direct method or the indirect method as per IAS 7. The
presentation is selected to present these cash flows in a manner that is most appropriate for the business or industry. The
method selected is applied consistently.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 15, the cash flow statement is a mixture of both the direct and the indirect methods.

xi Balance with Bangladesh Bank: (Cash Reserve Ratio - CRR)


IFRS: CRR maintained with Bangladesh Bank should be treated as other asset as it is not available for use in day to day
operations as per IAS 7.
Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank including CRR is treated as cash and cash equivalents.

256 | SOCIAL ISLAMI BANK LIMITED


xii Presentation of intangible assets
IFRS: Intangible assets must be identified and recognised, and the disclosure must be given as per IAS 38.
Bangladesh Bank: There is no regulation for intangible assets in BRPD 15.

xiii Off-balance sheet items


IFRS: As per IFRS, there is no requirement for disclosure of off-balance sheet items on the face of the balance sheet.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 15 dated 09 Novemebr 2009, off balance sheet items (e.g. Letter of credit, Letter
of guarantee etc.) must be disclosed separately on the face of the balance sheet.

xiv As per IFRS 9 Investments net off provision


IFRS: Investments should be presented net of provision.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 15, provision on investments are presented separately as a liability and cannot be netted
off against investments.

xv Charges on tax on retained earnings as per income tax ordinance (ITO) 1984
As per section 16(G) of the income tax ordinance 1984, proposed dividend of Listed companies should be disclosed in the
Balance sheet as “amount to be distributed as dividend.” However there is no such provision in BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003
and BRPD 15 dated 09 November 2009 and IFRS restrict such presentation in the balance sheet.

xvi Comparative information of changes in equity


IFRS: As per IAS 1, Comparative information in to be provided with the financial statements.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 15 dated 09 November 2009 an appropriation of profit should be disclosed in
the face of profit and loss account.

xix Recognition of Profit in Suspense


IFRSs:: Investment to customers are generally classified as “Loans and receivables” as per IFRS 9 and profit income is
recognised through effective profit rate method over the term of the Investment. Once an investment is impaired, investment
income is recognised in profit and loss account on the same basis based on revised carrying amount.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD Circular No. 15 dated 09 November 2009, once an investment is classified , profit on such
investment are not allowed to be recognised as income, rather the corresponding amount needs to be credited to an profit in
suspense account, which is presented as liability in balance sheet.

Quoted Bond & Shares At fair value through profit and loss account
Unquoted Shares At cost
Bangladesh Govt. Islamic Bond At cost
CDBL Share & Preference Share At cost
All investment in securities are initially recognized at cost, including acquisition charges associated with the investment.
Premiums are amortised and discounts are accredited.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | 257


As per BRPD circular no. 15 (09 November 2009), investments in quoted shares and unquoted shares are revalued at the
year end at market price and as per book value of last audited balance sheet respectively. Provision should be made for any
loss arising from diminution in value of investment. As such the Company measures and recognizes investment in quoted
and unquoted shares at cost if the year–end market value (for quoted shares) and book value (for unquoted shares) are
higher than the cost. However as per requirements of International Financial reporting Standards (IFRS)- 9, classification
and measurement of investment in equity investments (shares and securities) depends on how these are managed (the
entity’s business model) and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Based on these factors, it would it would generally
fall either under ‘at fair value through profit and loss account (FVTPL)’ or under ‘at fair value through other comprehensive
income (FVTOCI)’ (as measured in accordance with IFRS 13) at the year-end is taken to profit and loss account or other
comprehensive income respectively. SIBL recognises its ‘Investment in Shares and Securities’ as per IFRS-9 and accounted
for the required profit/(loss) after adjustment of the value of shares and securities through profit and loss account.

Derivatives
A derivative is an investment instrument that consists of a contract between parties whose value derives from and depends
on the value of an underlying financial asset. In short, these are the instruments whose value depends on underlying asset.
The underlying asset can be equity, index, commodity, bond or currency. Some of the examples of Derivatives are Forwards,
Futures, Options and Swaps. As a shariah based Islami Bank, SIBL can not take part in issuing or purchasing any derivatives.
Typical examples of derivatives are futures and forward, swap and option contracts. As a shariah based Islami Bank, SIBL
can not take part in issuing or purchasing any derivatives.

2.2.5. Investments and provisions


In accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, with the exception of purchased or originated credit (invesment) impaired
financial assets , expected credit (investment) losses are required to be measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal
to the 12-month expected credit (invesment)in losses (expected credit (invesment) losses that result from those default events
on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date; or full lifetime expected credit (invesment)
losses (expected credit /invesment losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument).
A loss allowance for full lifetime expected credit (invesment) losses is required for a financial instrument if the credit
(invesment)risk of that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, as well as to contract assets
or trade receivables that do not constitute a financing transaction in accordance with IFRS 15. Additionally, entities can
elect an accounting policy to recognise full lifetime expected losses for all contract assets and/or all trade receivables that
do constitute a financing transaction in accordance with IFRS 15. The same election is also separately permitted for lease
receivables. For all other financial instruments, expected credit (invesment) losses are measured at an amount equal to the
12-month expected credit (investment) losses.
However, Provision for classified and unclassified investment is made on the basis of year end review by the management
and of instructions contained in Bangladesh Bank BRPD circular No. 24 (17 Novemeber 2019), BRPD circular No.6 (19 May

circular No.15 (27 September 2017), BRPD circular No.16 (18 November 2014), BRPD circular No.14 (23 September 2012),
BRPD circular No. 19 (27 December 2012), BRPD circular No. 05 (29 May 2013), BRPD circular No.16 (21 July 2020), BRPD

258 | SOCIAL ISLAMI BANK LIMITED


2.2.6. Off-balance sheet items
Contingent liabilities
In accordance with IFRS, there is no requirement to disclose off-balance sheet items on the face of the balance sheet.

Any possible obligation that arises form past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Bank; or
Any present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
* it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or
* the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

The Bank has consistently applied the accounting policies as set out above to all periods presented in these financial
statements. The various amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with the
date of initial application of 1 January 2019 have been considered. A number of standards and amendments to standards are
effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2019 and earlier application is permitted. However, the Bank has not
early applied these new standards and yet assess potential impact on its financial statements.

2.10.1. IFRS 16: Leases


IFRS 16 Leases is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 defines that a
contract is (or contains) a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. IFRS 16 significantly changes how a lessee accounts for operating leases. Under previous IAS
17, an entity would rent an office building or a branch premises for several years with such a rental agreement being classified
as operating lease would have been considered as an off balance sheet item. However, IFRS 16 does not require a lease
classification test and hence all leases shall be accounted for as on balance sheet item (except some limited exception i.e.
short-term lease, leases for low value items).
Under IFRS 16, an entity shall be recognizing a right-of-use (ROU) asset (i.e. the right to use the office building, branches,
service center, call center, warehouse, etc.) and a corresponding lease liability. The asset and the liability are initially measured
at the present value of unavoidable lease payments. The depreciation of the lease asset (ROU) and the interest on the lease
liability is recognized in the profit or loss account over the lease term replacing the previous heading ‘lease rent expenses’.
While implementation IFRS 16, the Bank observed that IFRS 16 is expected to have impact on various regulatory capital
and liquidity ratios as well as other statutory requirements issued by various regulators. In addition, there are no direction
from National Board of Revenue (NBR) regarding treatment of lease rent, depreciation on ROU assets and interest on lease
liability for income tax purposes and applicability of VAT on such items. Finally, paragraph 5 of IFRS 16 provide the recognition
exemptions to short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. Although, paragraphs B3 to B8
of the Application Guidance (Appendix B) of IFRS 16 provide some qualitative guidance on low value asset, but these
guidance is focused towards moveable asset. Immovable asset like rental of premises (i.e. real estate) is not covered on
those guidance, nor any benchmark on quantification guidance on low value items have been agreed locally in Bangladesh.
Nevertheless, as a first step the Bank has defined ‘low value asset’ which are to be excluded from IFRS 16 requirement
and considered lease of ‘ATM Booths and other installations’ as low value asset. Thereafter, the Bank has reviewed lease
arrangements for ‘office premises’ for consideration under IFRS 16.

2.10.2. IFRS 17: Insurance contracts


IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017 and applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. IFRS 17
establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within
the scope of the standard. The objective of IFRS 17 is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully
represents those contracts. The Bank has not yet assessed in potential impact of IFRS 17 on its financial statements.

2.10.3 Approval of the financial statements

the carrying value of an asset may be impaired, whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exits, or when an annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Bank makes an estimate of the assets
recoverable amount. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the
asset or cash-generating unit is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount by debiting to profit & loss
account. Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or charges in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may be impaired. However no changes have arisen during the year against impairment.

in a business combination which, at the time of the transaction, does not affect either the accounting or the taxable profit,
liabilities arising from temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches, and associates, and
interests in joint arrangements, but only to the extent that the entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the differences
and it is probable that the reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.

Recognition of deferred tax asset


A deferred tax asset is recognised for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to
the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences
can be utilised, unless the deferred tax asset arises from: the initial recognition of an asset or liability other than
in a business combination which, at the time of the transaction, does not affect accounting profit or taxable profit.

Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates,
and interests in joint arrangements, are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will
reverse in the foreseeable future and that taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference will be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Any such reduction is subsequently reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for an unused tax loss carryforward or unused tax credit if, and only if, it is considered
probable that there will be sufficient future taxable profit against which the loss or credit carryforward can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is
realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates/laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period

Operational risk can not only result in financial loss, but also regulatory sanctions and damage to the Bank’s reputation. SIBL
is successful at managing operational risk with a view to safeguarding client assets and preserving shareholder value.

SIBL manages operational risks in the following manner:


I. Risks are identified with reference to the relevant policy manuals, processes, and practices;

The business risk is resulted from the market condition, greater customer expectation and or technological development that
may change compared to the assumptions made at the time of planning.

Business risk in SIBL is managed by setting clear targets for specific business units, in terms of business volume, income,
cost, cost-income ratio, quality of assets etc. with an ongoing process of continuous improvement.

Company arising from business events that may reduce the confidence of the customers & clients, shareholders, investors,
counterparties, business partners, credit rating agencies, regulators and general public in SIBL.

The branches and operational divisions are directly responsible for reputational risks arising from their business operations.
Reputational risks may also arise from a deficiency in managing other risks. All risk must therefore be managed effectively
in order to uphold the Bank’s reputation. The management ensures that SIBL is aware of any changes in market perceptions
as soon as possible. Accordingly, all business policies and transactions are subjected to careful consideration. SIBL takes
necessary precautions to avoid business policies and transactions that may result in significant tax, legal or environmental

our staff, our regulators and the general public in our integrity and ethical standard. The confidence largely depends on
meticulous compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements and internal policies of SIBL. The confidence
also depends on conformity with generally accepted market norms and standards in our business operations. The Board
of Directors is primarily responsible for compliance with all applicable norms and regulations. The Board discharges its
responsibilities itself and through delegation of authorities to Executive Committee, Audit Committee and Risk Management
Committee of the Board. The objective is to identify any compliance risks at an early stage that may undermine the integrity
and the success of SIBL and to mitigate the risks in most appropriate way.

Management System (ESMS)” within its framework, a global standard to minimize environmental & social risks from the
organisational activities. Risks associated with E&S Risk in Credit/Investment Management includes 1. Credit Risk, 2.Legal
Risk, 3. Operational Risk, 4. Liquidity Risk, 5. Reputational Risk etc. Applicability of the guideline includes for investments
disbursed to the sectors Agriculture, SME, Corporate Finance, Project Finance and Trade, Retail & Microfinace. All national
regulations pertaining to E&S governance is applicable while carrying out E&S due diligence of a particular transaction. This
means all relevant E&S permits, consents, licenses, and monitoring of E&S parameters as per the national regulations are to
be considered as mandatory compliance requirements for evaluation of a investment application. If clients have management
systems in place as per international frameworks such as ISO 14001 for environmental management, OHSAS 18001 for
occupational health and safety, SA8000 for socially acceptable practices in the workplace then it is considered as good
practices. Adherence to IFC Performance Standards is considered in case of large project financing as a good practice and
optional requirement.

2.22 Earnings per share (IAS-33)


Earning Per Share (EPS) has been computed by dividing the basic earning by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding at the end of the year as per IAS 33 Earning Per Share

Basic earnings
This represents earnings for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders. Net profit after tax less preference dividend has
been considered as fully attributable to the ordinary shareholders.

Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year


This represents the numbe of ordinary shares outstanding at the beginning of the year plus the number of ordinary shares
issued during the year multipied by a time weighted factor. The time weighting factor is the number of days the specific shares
are outstanding as a protion of the total number of days in the year.
The basis of computation of number of shares is in line with the provision of IAS 33 Earning Per Share. The logic behind this
basis is that the bonus shares are issued to the existing shareholders without any consideration, and therefore, the number
of shares outstanding is increased without an increase in resources generating new earnings. In contrast, other shares were
issued against consideration in cash or in kind, and accordingly there is an increase in resource generating new earnings.
Therefore, the total number of shares issued in 2020 has been multipied by a time weighting factor which is the number of
days the specific shares were outstanding as a proportion of total number of days in the period.

2.23 Events after reporting period


As per IAS - 10 “Events after the Reporting Period” events after the reporting period are those events, favorable and
unfavorable, that occur between the end of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are authorized for
issue. Two types of event can be identified:

(a) Adjusting events after the reporting period which provide evidence of conditions which existed at the end of the reporting
period; and

(b) Non adjusting events after the reporting period, are those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting
period.

The details about the events after reporting period is shown at note - 51.

2.31 Workers profit participation fund and welfare fund


SRO-336-AIN/2010 dated 5-10-2010 issued by the ‘Ministry of Labour and Employment’ declares the status of business of
certain institutions and companies along with Bank & insurance companies as “Industrial Undertakings” for the purposes
of Chapter-XV of the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended up to 2013) which deals with the workers’ participation in
Company’s profit by way of ‘Workers Participation Fund’ and ‘Welfare Fund’. This Act requires the “Industrial Undertakings”
to maintain provision for workers’ profit participation fund @ 5% on net profit. Since this requirement contradicts with the
‘Section 11’ of the ‘Bank Company Act 1991 (as amended up to 2018)’, Banks in Bangladesh took up the issue collectively
and sought opinion from ‘Association of Bankers Bangladesh Limited (ABB)’ on the same. ABB wrote a letter to the ‘Ministry
of Finance’ of Government of People’s Republic of Bangladesh on 09.03.2016 to draw attention of the honorable Finance
Minister regarding relevance and applicability of Chapter XV of the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended up to 2013)
for Bank Companies and to obtain a direction on the issue. The ‘Ministry of Finance’ revealed their opinion that WPPF should
not be relevant for Bank Companies and therefore, it should not be applied there. They also sought for an opinion on this issue
from Bangladesh Bank. Subsequently, Bangladesh Bank agreed on all the logics and legal opinion collected by the ABB and
expressed their consensus with them on 29.11.2016. In this backdrop, the ‘Ministry of Finance’ has given their instruction,
vide letter no. 53.00.0000.311.22.002.17.130 dated 14.02.2017, for not applying Chapter XV of the Bangladesh Labour Act,
2006 (as amended up to 2013) in Bank Companies. Therefore, no provision in this regard has been made in the financial

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF
SIBL SECURITIES LIMITED
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of SIBL SECURITIES LIMITED (the “company”) which comprise the financial
position as at 31 December 2020, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of
changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial
position of the Company as at 31 December 2020, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then
ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and other regulatory requirements.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our
report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND INTERNAL CONTROL
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance
with IFRSs as explained in note # 01 , and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The companies
Act, 1994, require the management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of
the company.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting
unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to
do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.

338 | SOCIAL ISLAMI BANK LIMITED


• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists,
we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Company to cease
to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be
thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the Companies Act 1994 and the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987, we also report the following:
a. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were
necessary for the purposes of our audit and made due verification thereof;
b. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appeared
from our examination of these books; and
c. the statements of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income dealt with by the
report are in agreement with the books of accounts and returns.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SIBL INVESTMENT LIMITED

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of SIBL Investment Limited (the “company”) which comprise the financial position as at 31 December
2020, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial position of the Company
as at 31 December 2020, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and other regulatory requirements.

BASIS FOR OPINION


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company
in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INTERNAL CONTROL
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs as explained
in note # 01 , and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The companies Act, 1994, require the management to ensure effective internal
audit, internal control and risk management functions of the company.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but
is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 | 355


by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group
and the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the
Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the
Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.

REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS


In accordance with the Companies Act 1994 and the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987, we also report the following:

a. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes
of our audit and made due verification thereof;

b. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appeared from our examination
of these books; and

c. the statements of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income dealt with by the report are in
agreement with the books of accounts and returns.
