  57. Message from Chairman Dr . Zaid Bakht Chairman, Board of Directors Dear Shareholders Assalamualaikum glimpse of the world and Bangladesh economy in recent times. It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the 12th Annual General Meeting of Agrani Bank Limited. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I have the honor of presenting before you the audited financial statements of the Bank for the year ended 31 December 2018. The performance of Agrani Bank Limited has been remarkable during the last few years, not only in terms of business growth – but also in terms of advancements in technology, innovation, human development and risks management and controls. All these have contributed towards a strong foundation for the years ahead. After a robust growth in 2017 global economic growth stumbled a bit in 2018. According to the latest IMF World Economic Outlook (January 2019) global economy grew at 3.8 percent during 2017 and the growth is estimated at 3.7 percent for 2018. Global growth for 2019 is projected at 3.5 percent which is 0.2 percent lower from the October outlook. The downward revision reflected continued trade tension, tighter global financial conditions and higher commodity prices, as well as a weaker outlook for some key emerging market and developing economies arising from country specific factors. At the outset, I recall with profound respect the architect of our Independence, the greatest Bangalee of all times, the father of the nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. It is because of his visionary leadership, Bangladesh came into being as an independent state in the world map. I remember with high esteem the martyred great national leaders of Bangladesh. I also pay my tribute to the martyred heroes of our liberation war in 1971. The Bangladesh economy grew at a rate of 7.86 percent in FY2017-18, satisfactorily up from 7.28 percent growth in FY2016-17, driven by strong domestic demand with support from robust credit growth, exports and remittance inflows. The per capita national income reached USD 1,751.00 in FY2017-18, which was USD 1,610.00 in FY2016-17. Aided by moderating food inflation from lower rice prices, headline CPI inflation (point to point) declined to 5.35 percent in December 2018. Consequently, 12 month average inflation edged down to 5.54 percent in December 2018. Valued shareholders, before focusing on bank’s activities and performances, I would like to give you a

  59. Message from Managing Director and CEO At the very outset , I would like to reminisce with great esteem the great architect of our independence, the greatest Bangalee of all times, the Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman under whose legendary and visionary leadership, a country named Bangladesh came into being and emerged in the comity of nations. I also call to mind those valiant hearts and martyrs of 1971 whose great sacrifice have given us the dignity as the citizens of an independent country. I commence this overview with a sense of deep satisfaction about Agrani Bank Limited. As I look back on 2018 – in fact, the last decade – it is remarkable how extraordinarily our Bank has carried through. And I am not only talking about our strong financial performance – but how much we have accomplished to help our clients, customers and communities all across the country.

  60. to help ensure that our business practices and operations are consistently effective , responsive and highly principled. We are committed to achieve this through integrity and sound corporate governance. Our rebuilding and progressive renaissance is not yet over. Virtually, everywhere in the Bank there is still much to do, partly because of the constantly evolving regulatory landscape. As we look forward, the focus has to be trained squarely on revenues and profitability – without making any compromises in our risk management and controls. We have to achieve sustained earning growth. In order to do this we have to continue investing, serve our existing clients better and win new clients for the Bank. The complexities of business in global economy create challenges for companies striving to operate in an effective and socially responsible manner. So we focus on innovation, excellence and variety in our products and services. We conform to global standard of business to sustain in a competitive corporate world. We continuously withstand for excellence in our service and embrace our obligation to be a good corporate citizen. We work in line with the need and demand of the people of our country and remain committed to serving them. Openness creates opportunities for dialogue with our customers, business partners, stakeholders and employees. We maintain corporate transparency and conduct ethical business practices. Such would enable awareness of emerging problems and fast resolution turnaround, hence greater efficiency. In 2018, our focus was to regain, reaffirm and revitalize ourselves to reach the apex of banking industry.

Besides export was BDT 8,280 crore (82,800 million) showing a growth of 17.29% which we think would improve in the coming years. Capital, Provision Although many banks and NBFIs in Bangladesh are stumbling for capital deficit, ABL could be able to maintain minimum capital. ABL has no provision deficiency as well. Contribution in Capital Market and Liquidity Support ABL played a pivotal role in providing liquidity in banking sector in 2018. Although the market was faltering for liquidity crunch, ABL maintained abundant liquidity and supplied the liquidity to other Banks and NBFIs, hence stabilizing the liquidity in the banking arena. ABL has played significant role in money market through investing BDT 9,875 crore (98.75 billion) in Treasury Bonds and Bills. Agrani Bank plays a vital role in strengthening the capital market by supplying fund to ICB, dedicated to strengthening the country’s capital Market. The Bank has provided funding of BDT 1,750 crore (17.50 billion) to ICB till December, 2018. The Bank also invested BDT 6,048 crore (60.48 billion) in the capital market in various forms. While deposits are our main source of funds, we also tapped debt capital markets to build term funding capabilities and to optimize funding costs. Premier role of ABL in financing capital deficit in banking sector is praiseworthy and known to all concerned in the industry. As of December 31, 2018 ABL has provided BDT 4,312 crore (43.12 billion) of funds through purchase of Tier-II bonds to increase the capability of the capital of 43 private banks in particular. Credit Rating Considering ABL a 100% State owned Commercial Bank (SCB) and highly integrated Government Supported Entity (GSE), the Credit Rating company, from risk point of view, affirmed its ‘AAA rating in the Long Term and ‘ST-1’ rating in the Short Term. The highest ratings have been assigned in consideration of implied commitment of the Government of the Peoples’ Republic of Bangladesh to the Bank to extend its support through policy and other matters to address any adverse situation. Pioneering Agent Banking In order to reach people in greater scale in their doorsteps, ABL has introduced ‘Agent Banking’ first ever among the state-owned banks. Agrani Bank has already been delivering the service through 200 agent booths. The project would run under the‘Agent Banking Guideline’ that has recently been formulated by Bangladesh Bank in a bid to achieve ‘Financial Inclusion’ goal of the nation. We believe that we will be able to bring greater rural population under the banking facilities through ‘Agent Banking’. We have a plan to extend ‘Agent Banking’ network to bring the people deprived of banking amenities under the banking arena. The service will be introduced immediately in 143 Upazilas as there is no branch of our bank in those areas. On top of that, we have launched ‘Remittance Only Points’- an innovative step augmenting remittance through which around 500 Remittance Only Points will work relentlessly in 7 days a week to catch-up remittance. SME Financing In order to make SME financing more active and relevant in recent times, ABL has created a comprehensive vision for the development of small
  63. and medium industries in 2018 as the development partner of the government . Until December 31, 2018 BDT 4,303 crore (43.03 billion) was distributed in the SME sector. According to Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed with Bangladesh Bank (Central Bank) in 2018, SME target was fixed at BDT 3,500 crore (35.00 billion) against which BDT 4,303 crore (43.03 billion) has been distributed in this sector and 122.94 % of the distribution target was achieved which is the top among the SCBs. ABL founded a subsidiary named “Agrani SME Financing Company Ltd.” for the betterment and development of SME sector in Bangladesh. Contribution to National Exchequer ABL also esclates the economy by collecting and depositing VAT, tax and excise duty to the government treasury in time and properly. ABL has credited a total of BDT 2,575 crore (25.75 billion) of revenue in the state treasury in the last five years against VAT, tax and excise duty. In the year 2018, the Bank deposited BDT 630 crore (6.30 billion) in the sate exchequer. Diversification in Portfolio Management We have expanded our business to new areas for diversifying our portfolio. In 2018, we introduced several deposit and loan products to diversify our portfolio.We believe these enterprises will provide opportunity for the future sustainable growth. Expanding our Horizon ABL is moving forward to establish a strong foothold in the country by taking advantage of the steady growth of Bangladesh. ABL is enlarging its nationwide footprint by continuously expanding its branch networks. The number of branches of ABL in 2018 stood at 953. Human Resource Development To convert our workforce into human asset, we provided world class training to them at home and abroad. For better management analysis of human resources, our own training institute called ABTI (Agrani Bank Training Institute) which has now emerged as center of Excellence introduced IHRM (Integrated Human Resources Management) Software. We provided quality training, covering all aspects of banking industry through the year for the welfare and development of our workforce. For the enhancement of human asset, ABTI (Agrani Bank Training Institute) has covered 10,992 participants by conducting 251 courses/ workshops in 2018. During the year we sent 73 people abroad attending various trainings and workshops, etc. The board frames and approves service rules relating to recruitment, promotion, transfer, disciplinary and punitive measures, human resources development etc. Core Risk Management We remained compliant in all aspects of legal and regulatory guidelines. We managed core risks of the Bank by enhancing managerial and operational efficiency and following the best practices of the industry. ABL has a separate division named ‘Risk management division’ as to deal with risk portfolio. It coordinates all risky phylum with management. Various types of operations like stress testing, Duration Gap analysis, calculation of Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR), Liquidity Coverage ratio (LCR), Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) etc. are done to find out risky events.

As we look forward to coming years, we are confident of doing our best to enhance our customers’ values by providing comprehensive personalized banking service and
  64. introducing innovative techno-savvy banking products . Looking Ahead Market volatility is likely to remain elevated in 2019. The impact of ongoing US-China trade tensions and geopolitics, the trickle-down effect of US fiscal and monetary policy settings and concerns over a China slowdown are among the factors posing risks to global economic growth. We will continue to draw upon our extensive presence, integrated network, deep knowledge and strong position in the country to help our customers convert problems into opportunities. Our future-focused investments in connectivity capabilities and digital solutions also ensure that we are well-positioned for growth, including attracting and serving country’s burgeoning digital generation.

We would continue to enlarge our network and embrace cutting edge technology to provide real-time and customized banking services to our customers. Digital banking services will be our focus.

  78. Directors ’ Report to the Shareholders Global Economy Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Respected Stakeholders: Assalamu Alaikum, On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am really pleased to present before you the Audited Financial Statements and Annual Report- 2018 of Agrani Bank Limited. The report seeks to evaluate and analyze the Bank’s overall operational performance of 2018 compared to that of 2017. I would request you to read the information and analysis in connection with the audited financial statements presented here. The report presents a concise scenario on the overall performance of the Bank in perspective of global and Bangladesh economy. Global Economy The global economy began in 2018 with strong growth prospects. But as the year progressed, momentum faded and growth trends diverged. After strong growth in 2017 and early 2018, global economic activity slowed notably in the second half of last year. In April 2019 World Economic Outlook (WEO) of International Monetary Fund (IMF) global growth is projected to slow from 3.6 percent in 2018 to 3.3 percent in 2019. The growth forecast for this year has been downgraded for almost all the industrialized developed countries by the global multilateral agencies and other specialized organizations. The U.S. economy is projected to slow from 3 percent in 2018 to 2.6 percent in 2019.

This trade war, even with the current levels of tariffs in place, will shave off an estimated 0.2 percentage point off the global economic growth Global Trade Global trade has grown at 3.0% in 2018 against the estimated growth of 3.2%. Global trade will continue to face strong headwinds in 2019 and 2020 after growing more slowly than expected in 2018 due to rising trade tensions and increased economic uncertainty. WTO economists expect merchandise trade volume growth to fall to 2.6% in 2019. Global Inflation Rate A temporary waiver in US sanctions on Iranian oil exports to certain countries and record-high US crude oil production as well as weakening global growth put downward pressure on global energy prices. According to the latest IMF World Economic Outlook (April 2019) oil prices dropped from a four-year peak of $81 a barrel in October to $61 in February. Global inflation is expected to decline to 1.6 percent this year in advanced economies, from 2.0 percent in 2018. Consumer price inflation (CPI) remained muted across advanced economies, given the drop in commodity prices. In the United States and United Kingdom, it is close to 2 percent, whereas among emerging market economies, core inflation has remained below 2 percent in China. Major Challenges Global trade, investment, and output remain under threat from ongoing trade tensions. The major challenge of the world economy is the yearlong trade war between the United States and China. Even if a trade deal is reached, it may do little to resolve tensions between the world’s two largest economies. As both countries battle for global dominance, stature and wealth the trade tensions may persists for decades. If trade tensions fail to ease, activity may fall short of expectations. Cyber attacks on financial infrastructure are another source of risk because they can severely disrupt cross-border payment systems and the flow of goods and services. Political risk factors that include policy uncertainty about the agenda of new administrations or surrounding elections, geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, and tensions in east Asia combined with trade tensions and tighter global financial conditions could have
  79. Directors ’ Report to the Shareholders Global Economy World Economic Perspective for 2019 The stronger momentum experienced in 2017 is expected to carry into 2018 and 2019, with global growth revised up to 3.9 percent for both years. The upward revisions to the global outlook result mainly from advanced economies, where growth is now expected to exceed 2 percent in 2018 and 2019. This forecast reflects the expectation that favorable global financial conditions and strong sentiment will help maintain the recent acceleration in demand, especially in investment. The Macroeconomic Situation of Bangladesh According to the World Bank report, Bangladesh is among the five fastest growing economies in the world. The growth was caused by manufacturing, construction and a bumper crop harvest, coupled with private consumption, remittance and rural income growth. The economy of Bangladesh is moving forward, growing at a decent pace. Domestic demand growth appears to have been the driving force with private consumption contributing 4.7 percentage points and investment contributing 3.25 percentage points. The per capita national income reached US$1,751 in FY2017-18. Provisional data showed that the per capita GDP rose at the same pace to US$1,827 in 2018-19 from US$1,675 the previous year. According to the provisional estimation of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) Bangladesh’s GDP growth rate is going to reach 8.13% in fiscal year 2018-19, against 7.86% recorded in the last fiscal year. Economic Growth Bangladesh will be the third fastest growing economy in the world in terms of achieving high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2019, according to a United Nations report. The Bangladesh economy recorded 7.86% growth in FY18, exceeding the FY18 budgetary target of 7.40%. A stable political and macroeconomic environment in FY18 contributed to a broad-based pick-up in economic activity. According to Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) GDP at current market prices stood at Tk.22,50,479 crore in FY201718. No major political or security-related disruptions occurred in FY18, suggesting that the country has gradually moved into a new regime that will be marked by greater political stability and consequently higher growth rates. Massive investment in power and infrastructure projects are expected to start to pay off in the near future which will boost the growth by enhancing the real economy. Agricultural sector Bangladesh is a large deltaic country where agriculture remains a very important sector of its economy. According to preliminary estimate of BBS, in FY2017-18, food grains production stood at around 413.25 lakh metric tons (MT) of which Aus accounted for 27.09 lakh MT, Aman 139.94 lakh In Percent outsize effects on sentiment that reverberate on a larger scale. 9 8 8 7 7 6 6 5 5 4 FY13 FY14 GDP growth FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 Per capita real GDP growth Source: Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics.

After being self-sufficient in fish production for the first time in 2018 Bangladesh was ranked third (10.48 lakh tonnes) in producing fish from inland water-bodies and fifth (22 lakh tonnes) in world aquaculture production according to a report of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).Currently Bangladesh ranks 4th in Tilapia production in the world and 3rd in Asia. National fish Hilsha as a single species has been making the highest contribution to the country’s total fish production. ‘Geographical Indication Registration Certificate’ has been achieved for our national fish Hilsha. Industry Sector  In a developing country like Bangladesh, industrialisation is an essential pre-requisite for sustainable economic development and achievement of social progress. Here the contribution of Industry Sector to GDP is progressively increasing. According to BBS, the contribution of the broad industry sector to GDP has been estimated at 79
  80. Directors ’ Report to the Shareholders Bangladesh Economy 33.66 percent in FY2017-18 which was 32.42 percent in FY2016-17. Among the fifteen sectors of GDP, the broad industry sector includes four sectors namely mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity gas and water supply and construction. Among the broad industry sectors the contribution of the manufacturing sector is the highest. According to the GDP of FY2017-18 the contribution of the manufacturing sector in real GDP is 22.85 percent which was 21.74 percent in FY2016-17. The Bangladeshi economy has been one of the world’s fastest growing economies in recent years, lauded by such institutions as the World Bank. The ready-made garment sector has been the main driver of this growth. Our whole RMG sector—particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) havo to face real challenges of upcoming era of ultramodern technology and innovation. 29.64 percent during the same period. For about a decade the ratio has been hovering between 27 and 30 percent. Overall investment crossed 31 percent of GDP for the first time in Bangladesh’s history in FY201718 mainly due to a spike in public spending on mega infrastructure projects now being implemented. The total investment to gross domestic product ratio stood at 31.23 percent, which was 30.51 percent the previous year, according to data from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics. Despite huge public investment in infrastructure, huge potential for demographic dividends and a demonstrated Chart 2.2 Trends in Sectoral GDP 14 Service Sector Savings & Investments According to the final data on the expenditure side, consumption increased by 2.50 percent from 74.67 percent of GDP in FY2016-17 to 77.17 percent in FY2017-18 that indicates domestic saving stood at 22.83 percent of GDP in FY2017-18 which was 25.33 percent in preceding fiscal year. However gross national savings as a percentage of GDP declined for second consecutive year to 27.42 percent from 80 Annual Report 2018 10 In percent Service sector will in future be the prime mover of the world economy, with industry and agriculture sectors losing market share significantly. Keeping with the global trend, the service sector of Bangladesh has been expanding fast and maintaining an upward trend over the years. Project handling capacities of service-oriented companies of the country are on the up with the continued development of large and medium infrastructural facilities. Of late, electronic dealings and infrastructure developments have marked significant rise alongside wholesale and retail activities. The service sector contributes the most to the national economy. In FY2017-18, the share of broad service sector in GDP stood at 52.11 percent. Within the broad service sector, the contribution of wholesale and retail trade sector (13.95%) was the highest. According to Bangladesh Economic Review 2018 the output of the ‘wholesale and retail trade’; ‘hotel and restaurants’ and ‘transport, storage and communication’ sector under broad service sector registered growth to 7.45 percent, 7.28 percent, 6.58 percent respectively in FY2017-18. 12 8 6 4 2 FY14 Agriculture FY15 FY16 Industry FY17 Services FY18 GDP Source: Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics dynamic class of entrepreneurs private sector investment is not at satisfactory level which increased marginally by 0.16 percentage points to 23.26 percent of GDP in FY201718 from the previous fiscal year. But we can be optimistic that the private investment will surely break out of the 21-23 percent of GDP trap if the efforts to establish special economic zones, liquefied natural gas terminal, base-load power plants, one-stop shop as well as mega projects are completed. Export The growth of export (f.o.b) earnings increased to 6.4 percent in FY18 from 1.7 percent in FY17 (Chart 1.8).

The headline inflation rate stood at 5.78 percent in June 2018. The average inflation rate was 5.44 percent in FY17. The average Inflation rate steadily inched up since July 2017 (5.45 percent) until April 2018 (5.83 percent). For the following two months of FY18 the inflationary pressure gradually eased. Rising food inflation was mainly responsible for the increase in headline inflation rate despite declining non-food inflation rate during the first Overseas Employment and Remittances Chart 3.1 Monthly CPI Inflation in FY18 (12-month average: FY06-100) 8 6 4 General Food Jun-18 May-18 Apr-18 Mar-18 Feb-18 Jan-18 Dec-17 Nov-17 Oct-17 Sep-17 0 Aug-17 2 Jul-17 In Percent The significant rise in the country’s working age population – from 49 per cent in 1994 to 62.7 per cent in 2018 –provides a demographic dividend to the economy (UNFPA’s report on Bangladesh). Overseas employment would play a key role to utilize this demographic dividend. During FY201718 a total of 8.80 lakh Bangladeshi workers went abroad for employment. The foreign exchange remitted by the expatriate workers stood at US$14,981.69 million in FY2017-18 which is 17.32 percent more than the previous fiscal year.

Exchange Rate Bangladesh professes to maintain a floating exchange rate of its currency from 31 May 2003 but practices what is called managed floating or pegged floating regime. In order to avoid undue volatility in the foreign exchange market, Bangladesh Bank closely monitors the exchange rate movement and the buying and selling of foreign exchanges for stabilizing foreign exchange market. Bangladesh observed overall 3.77 percent depreciation of Taka against US dollar in FY2017-18 due mainly to increased demand for import payments. The central bank has continued to sell the US dollars to banks to meet their soaring demand, in fiscal 2017-18 the central bank had injected $2.31 billion -- the highest since fiscal 2009-10. The weighted average inter-bank rate stood at Tk.82.10 per US$ in FY2017-18, which was Tk.68.80 per US$ in FY2007-08. Economic Sustainability Bangladesh’s socio-economic achievements are widely acclaimed around the world. Pragmatic policy support, along with the low and stable inflation aided by a favorable macroeconomic environment helped Bangladesh become a role model of sustainable finance. Government is focusing on healthy credit growth, with particular attention to adequate credit flows to agriculture, SMEs and environmentally caring ‘green’ output initiative. These schemes would make finance and growth more sustainable.Governance system, society, communities and ecosystems must operate coherently for a sustainable economy. The whole population of Bangladesh must be incorporated into an inclusive growth paradigm. Thus, inclusive and sustainable growth and climate resilient development must encompass all aspects of Bangladesh’s development efforts. Bangladesh’s own journey towards sustainable development in the next two to three decades offer tremendous opportunities despite many challenges. Bangladesh aims to become a developed country in the early 2040s. Sustainable development pathways through incorporation of SDG successes, inclusive growth and climate resilient development offer the way forward. Financial inclusion Over the past three years, financial inclusion has made great progress and delivered numerous benefits to all segments of society in Bangladesh. The time period for 82 Annual Report 2018 implementation of the first National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) for Bangladesh has been set from 2019-2024 in the draft of the strategy.

With the initiatives of Bangladesh Bank the number of these account reached to 1.76 crore at the end of March 2018.  Social Safety Net Program The government has been continuing the social safety net programmes with a view to alleviating poverty through improvement of socio-economic condition of the ultra-poor. In 2017- 18 revised budget, an amount of Tk.48,524 crore has been allocated against social safety net programmes. The allocation is 13.06 percent of the budget and 2.17 percent of GDP of the same fiscal year.

The government has also implemented some project such as ‘Akti Bari Akti Khamar’(One House One Farm), ‘Ashrayan’,‘Grihayan,’ ‘Ghore Phera’ to bring a positive change in the lives of the poor. Digital Bangladesh The incumbent government has put a special emphasis on utilizing information and communication technology (ICT) as a tool for development and sustainability. Despite many bottlenecks and limitations, work is in progress for the realization of Digital Bangladesh. The country has witnessed exponential growth in internet connectivity, mobile phone usage, IT export earnings and use of ICT in education and accessibility of public services, driven by widespread digitization in the public and private sectors and policy support. Almost all services including those related to education, health- nutrition, agriculture, birthregistration, allowances under social protection programs are now easily and comfortably delivered to the doorsteps of intended beneficiaries through union information centres at union level, e-service centres in DC offices, e-centres in 147 upazilas and village post offices and 254 agricultural information centres.

From ancient time the human practices risk management in order to survive. The practice of survival instincts leads to the avoidance of risks threatening to extinct the humankind. The very existence of human kind today is the proof of the success of applying risk management strategies by our ancestors. Risks are uncertainties. In the banking universe, there are large number of risks. As the goal of any state-owned organization, the main goal of bank’s management is to serve the nation and maximize the shareholders’ value. Bankruptcies in the financial sector are so costly, not only for the equity and debt holders of banks’ but also for taxpayers. Risk is the net negative impact of the exercise of vulnerability, considering both the probability and the impact of occurrence. Effective risk assessment identifies and considers both internal and external factors. Internal factors • Complexity of the organizational structure; • The nature of the Bank’s activities; • The quality of personnel; • Organizational changes; and • Employee turnover. External factors • Fluctuating economic conditions, • Changes in the Industry, • Socio-political realities, • Technological advancement. Internal control is the process, affected by a company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the reliability of financial reporting and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and internal policies. Internal controls are the policies and procedures established and implemented alone, or in concert with other policies or procedures, to manage and control a particular risk or business activity, or combination of risks or business activities, to which the company is exposed or in which it is engaged. Banking operations involve both inherent and acquired risks in the pursuit of value creation. to avoid the complexities and risk arises out of those activities some sort of internal corrective measures must be there to control. The issues of effective internal control systems, corporate governance, transparency and accountability, and regulatory compliance have become prime need for high levels of performance. Thus internal control is now being termed as an integral part of the daily activities of a bank. So that the Bank’s management and stakeholders can confidently, assure that the Bank’s service delivery systems are efficient, safe and compliant with all their expectations. In turn, risk based internal audit activities are the most important means of reinforcing control systems through the regular review of operations. Compliance, on the other hand, means taking actions by the stakeholders as per advice/instruction laid down in inspection/ audit reports/ circular/ letter etc. by the supervisory/ regulatory/ administrative authority/ organization concern to mitigate deficiencies/ correct lapse, gaps, errors, omission, irregularities for overall soundness and improved performance in the organization. Internal Control & Compliance (ICC) of Agrani Bank Limited under direct supervision of Audit Committee of the Board has been implementing detail guidelines on ICC risk management to assess and mitigate risks. Internal control and compliance is a management process designed to achieve: • • • • • Effective system of control Effectiveness and efficiency of operations Reliability of financial reporting Compliance with applicable laws and regulations Safeguard of assets. 143

  150. Integrated Report on Risk management Statement of the Board Risk management Committee Risk management Credit risk management To every business there exists risk which hampers business and even its outcome results in threats for the existence of the institute . So every transaction ought to be controlled prudently to avoid risk. To keep the entity forward in today’s competitive and complex market economies is a hard task. In this situation BB has identified six major field of risk in banking sector. They are referred as ‘Core risk’. They also formulated some policies for the FIs working in the country. Following the directives of the regulatory body ABL has adopted six guidelines on core risk based. The BOD, apex body of the bank has approved them and related transactions are made following the guidelines. Credit is the main source of income of financial institute like bank and there inherents acute risks. To get back money with accorded interest prudent risk management is inseparable. Credit risk arises from non compliances with agreed terms and conditions between bank and borrower or counterparty. It may arises from ill motive of nonpayment or from down gradation of business or financial and economical position of the borrower. To avoid this untoward situation quality borrowers are selected. Some standard criteria have been set up in ABL to handle the job. Risk management in ABL ABL a state-owned commercial bank is always aware to protect its capital and to enhance its activities in banking arena. It feels special responsibilities as inseparable partner of national economy. ABL has a separate division named ‘Risk management division’ to deal with risk related portfolio. This division works as secretariat of bank’s risk management team. It collects information in BB’s prescribed form from concern division and field level. To monitor risk parameter the movements of related components are observed keeping them side by side. A monthly meeting is held with concern divisional head and executives as member and chaired by chief risk officer (CRO) (a DMD level senior executive). Here implementation and progress of prior decisions are also discussed. To keep in monitoring stress testing, capital calculation, duration gap analysis to determine mismatch of asset-liability maturity are performed quarterly basis. All these are the tools of measuring risk profile. ABL has its own strategy to manage its risk portfolio in line with international standard and regulatory bodies’ requirement. ABL as a state owned bank has a consistent responsibility to protect its asset and to meet the liabilities in committed way. Taking into the consideration of its responsibilities underneath strategy are taken: (i) To protect bank’s capital ; (ii) Growth of business; (iii) Risk adjusted performance measurement; (iv) Consistency of earnings; and (v) Quality and transparency of management. To observe the movement of various parameter stressed situation of risk components are represented. All the information are submitted to BB and after their observation they send directives to bank and bank performs accordingly. 150 Annual Report 2018 Principle of credit risk management ABL has some consistent policy in line with regulatory requirement and international standard to protect credit from erosion. Following the underneath principles credits are sanctioned and extended in ABL: (1) Power of delegation has been segregated depending on size and importance of credit. BOD is the apex body to approve policy prepared by management and to grant credit beyond their delegated power. (2) Senior management oversight: Senior management of the bank is responsible for the implementation of BOD’s approved policy. ICC division, vigilance division and other instant required divisions readily help them. Necessary compliances are submitted to board and to regulatory authority through them. Loans and advances are evaluated in qualitative and quantitative aspect. Risk management procedure begins from initiation of a loan. First priority in this regard is selection of quality borrower. Following character of borrower is taken into consideration for the selection: (a) Character: Here character means financial and economical behavior .It can be gathered from personal information and social communication of the borrower. (b) Capital: It is important to have required equity of his business. (c) Collateral: Collateral is the main tool to cover risky event. So that its ownership would be easily transferable in favor of bank. Its legal aspect as well as ownership is vetted by the panel lawyer. The offered collateral is properly valued by the delegated authority. If value and legal aspect show positive result then this collateral is accepted. (d) Earning capacity: borrower’s business experience
  151. Integrated Report on Risk management Statement of the Board Risk management Committee (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) and market penetration capacity is considered to measure his earning. Credit requirement: To extend credit cash flow and other accounts related statements are examined. Over flow of cash led the party to divert them in unscrupulous field. On the other hand scarcity of cash make hard to run the project. So ABL prudently examines credit requirement for the applied project. Insurance coverage: To get clear access to offered collateral insurance coverage is a strong tool. Customers’ desire for not taking required insurance policy must be considered as deviation. Proper documentation: Error in documentation is a serious drawback to extend credit. It may lead bank to add risk portfolio. So all the documents are examined by the proper authority. KYC: To get proper identity of the party a prescribed form is supplied to fill in. Any deviation in verification is considered as risky point. Syndicate loans: Syndicate loans are assessed independently by ABL. If its quality, risk and returns are not acceptable, ABL does not depend only on lead arranger’s report. Monitoring and Mitigation Loan portfolio both on on-balancesheet and off-balance sheet are closely monitored by the higher management and by the BOD of bank. ABL has system to review loan portfolio and its inherent risks. Field level (branch, zonal office) reports the situation of each and every loan to the management through proper delegated authority and they give directives as situation demand. The NPA management (recovery) and C/L division directly monitor Classified and written-off loan. Risk assessment procedure actually begins before granting or extending credit. The delegated personnel work accordingly. ABL has a system of tracking risky and potentially weak loan accounts. Bank has dedicated teams to monitor and supervise them. Respective assigned person reports to the delegated authority to take measure so that the loan may not be downgraded or hindered assets portfolio of the bank. Early identification, prompt reporting and proactive measure can protect loans from being downgraded or negative shifting. NPA management division, an assigned division co-ordinates field level with higher management and chalks out plans to recover from CL and written-off loan. It reviews progress quarterly and reports to the higher management. The objective of credit risk management is to bring back lent money safely and strengthen the bank as well as national economy. Asset-Liability Management (ALM) Risk Asset and Liability management (ALM) risk is very essential for banks. The Asset-Liability Management has been structured as a systemic process to earn a sufficient return while maintaining a comfortable surplus of assets beyond liabilities. ALM is a balancing act, involving the continuous of the two sides of the balance sheet to obtain reasonable returns-while providing adequate capital, liquidity and responsiveness to both internal and external factors. Roles and Responsibilities Asset-liability management desk of the Bank closely monitors and controls liquidity requirements on daily basis of appropriate coordination of funding activities. The principle responsibility of the liquidity risk management of the bank rests with Treasury Division which maintains liquidity based on historical requirements, current liquidity position, anticipated future funding requirement, sources of fund, present and anticipated asset quality, present and future earning capacity etc. The overall objective is to provide cost effective funding to finance the asset growth and trade related transactions, minimize the funding cost, increase spread with the lowest possible liquidity, maturity, foreign exchange and interest rate risks. Liquidity Risk Asset-Liability mismatches create liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is termed as the possible inability of the bank to meet its financial obligations on account of maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities. It also includes inability to liquidate any asset at reasonable price in a timely manner. Liquidity risk can arise due to market liquidity or funding liquidity. ABL implements various business-as-usual and stress risk metrics and monitor these against limits and management action triggers to manage liquidity risk. This ensures that the Bank maintains an adequate and well-diversified liquidity buffer as well as a stable funding base. A funding plan is also developed for efficient liquidity projection to ensure that the Bank is adequately funded, in the required currencies, to meet its obligations and client funding needs. Governance Committee To deal with Asset-Liability Management risk, ABL has a dedicated committee called the Asset- Liability Committee (ALCOM) comprising of the senior officials of the Bank to make important decisions related to the Balance Sheet, 151
  152. Integrated Report on Risk management Statement of the Board Risk management Committee Liquidity , Interest Rate Risk and Foreign Exchange risk of the Bank. The ALCOM generally meets at least once in every month and reviews liquidity requirement, the maturity of assets and liabilities, deposit and loan pricing strategy/transfer pricing, sensitivity of assets and liabilities, key management indicators and the liquidity contingency plan of the bank. The key points of the discussions are minuted and the action points are highlighted to ensure implementation in every ALCOM meeting. As a part of regulatory requirement, the management reviews the ALM manual and its components regularly. Mitigation The Bank develops policies to address various risks and aims to maintain its risk profile within Risk Appetite. ABL has a contingency plan to reduce unexpected or unusual situations which could lead to market disruption. Contingency plan can provide a useful framework for managing liquidity risk both in short term and in the long term. Further, it helps ensure that bank prudently and efficiently manage routine and extraordinary fluctuations in liquidity. ALCOM regularly monitors money market condition as well as the bank’s interest rate on both deposit and lending to manage the interest rate risk. However, bank has been identifying both the interest rate sensitive assets and Liabilities and classified them into different maturity bucket to find the assets/liability mismatch. Monitoring Capital and liquidity risk are performed by Risk Management Division and Treasury Division respectively. The Bank regularly monitors capital and liquidity risks inherent in its business activities and arise from internal and external events. Internal risk management reports covering key risk areas, the capital and liquidity position of the Bank are presented to the Executive Risk Management Committee (ERMC). The reports contain key information on balance sheet trends, exposures against Risk Appetite and supporting risk measures which enable members to make informed decisions around the overall risk management of Bank. Money Laundering Risk Money Laundering Risk is the potential for legal or regulatory penalties, material financial loss or reputational damage resulting from the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012, and The Anti-Terrorism Act, 2009, Money Laundering Prevention Rules 2013, Anti Terrorism Rules 2013, Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) guidelines for Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Risk Management Guidelines and international standards. 152 Annual Report 2018 Roles and Responsibilities For mitigating the risks, ABL has formed Central Compliance Unit (CCU) at Branch & Subsidiaries Unit Control Division (BSUCD) in Head Office headed by the Chief Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer (CAMLCO) equivalent to General Manager (GM). The roles of the CAMLCO are to establish and maintain effective systems and control to meet legal and regulatory obligations in respect of Money Laundering Risk. The CAMLCO is the chief reporting officer and reports to the MD or CEO of ABL. The bank has also nominated Deputy CAMLCO, Regional Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer (RAMLCO), Branch Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer (BAMLCO) and reporting officer for monitoring and reporting to the higher authority regarding the compliance issues of Money Laundering Risk. As the first line, the reporting officers at branch level have responsibility for the application of policy controls and the identification and measurement of money laundering risk. The reporting officers must communicate risks and any policy non-compliance to the second line (BAMLCO) for review. Similarly, the reporting and review processes flow upwards from BAMLCO to RAMLCO and RAMLCO to CAMLCO. Mitigation Being a Bank Company, ABL has statutory obligation to comply with all applicable Anti-Money Laundering rules and regulations. In line with evolving regulatory rules and acts relating to the prevention and combating process, ABL has formulated its own policy guidelines and manuals to follow and implement by the officials at all levels for effective management. The following activities are carried out by ABL to mitigate the risk regarding money laundering risk:  ABL has formed CCU headed by CAMLCO.  ABL has formulated its own policy guidelines and manuals related to money laundering risk and these are subjected to update as per necessity.  ABL has introduced uniform Account Opening Form in which ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) and ‘Transaction Profile’ (TP) are included. As the part of KYC requirements, duly filled in KYC form is mandatory for account opening. ABL has checked the reference and the back ground of the applicants compulsorily as per instruction of central bank. Every customer must specify in TP about the frequency and amount of transaction before opening the account.  ABL has introduced Automated Screening Software named as “Velocity AML Solutions Suite Software” to comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and FATCA regulations with ease and simplicity.

Internal Control And Compliance (Icc) Risk Banking for having diversified and multifarious risks needs an effective internal control system, good governance, transparency of all financial activities, and accountability towards its stakeholders and regulators to ensure smooth performance. Effective risk management and internal control is therefore reliant on a regular evaluation of the nature and extent of risks. Internal control is fundamental to the successful operation and day-to-day running of a business and it assists the company in achieving its business objectives. It encompasses all controls incorporated into the strategic, governance and management processes, covering the bank’s entire range of activities and operations, and not just those directly related to financial operations and reporting. It is a process within a financial organization designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the following primary objectives: Audit & Inspection Divisions conduct on-site periodical and special inspections as per ‘Risk Based Audit Plan’ approved by the Board to verify non-compliant issue (if any). Monitoring Division is engaged with on-site and offsite monitoring functions. Compliance division deals with the in-house developed and regulatory compliance related activities and also functions as the contact point of the Bank. They ensure that corrective action plans are implemented within the set deadline as well as ensure proper corporate discipline and awareness. ICC places a summary of audit & inspection reports to the Board Audit Committee and measures are taken according to decisions of the Committee. Moreover, steps are taken by ICC to ensure transparency, accountability and corporate governance etc. by introducing of ‘Cyber Audit Cell’, forming ‘Concurrent Audit Team’, taking endorsement of expenses amounting Tk. 5.00 lac & above from ‘Pre-Audit Cell’ and prior endorsement for sanctioning loans of Tk. 10.00 crore & above. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) risk management Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become an indispensible part of today’s banking and financial activities in both local and global arena.

ICT tools enable bank to present professional product offer and sustain in innovative market place.  Accomplishment of established objectives and goals of operations or programs etc. Use of ICT tools has increased technology infrastructure of banks significantly. Numerous operations of bank are being performed using ICT tools in day to day activities. Such reliance on ICT, inter connectivity within the bank and with other banks, internally performed activities, increased transactions volume, wide range network coverage lead banks to a number of risks. The emergence of cyber risk along with the digitalization process and IT outsourcing, highlights the need for IT security and risk management at all levels of the business. Internal Control & Compliance (ICC) of ABL has been structured as per prescribed organizational structure of Bangladesh Bank given in the ‘Core Risk Management Guidelines’ to ensure appropriate level of internal control system. Functions of ICC are jointly performed by Audit & Inspection Division-1, Audit & Inspection Division-2, Audit Monitoring Division, Audit Compliance Division (Internal) and Audit Compliance Division (External). ICC is headed by a General Manager for co-ordination from a single platform. Considering IT threats, bank’s exposure towards IT logistics and IT infrastructure, IT risk management has become pressing and highly prioritized events for the bank. As such, ABL has been upgrading and strengthening its technology infrastructure in line with the growing needs to fulfill the requirements of its clients with utmost satisfaction, to cope up with technological dynamism, to sustain in competition and to make information management of the bank strong, effective and resourceful.  Secrecy, reliability and integrity of data and information;  Compliance with policies, plans, procedures, laws and regulations;  Safeguarding of its investments and assets;  Economical and efficient use of resources; and 153

Besides, bank has developed Comprehensive Audit Software and Software on Risk Based Audit for conducting comprehensive audit by internal audit divisions of the bank. Foreign Exchange Risk Management Foreign exchange risk is the current or prospective risk to earning and capital arising out of adverse movement of currency exchange rate. Foreign exchange risk management is fundamental for safe and sound management of all institution having exposure in foreign currencies. As per directives of central bank ABL formulated a well defined policies and manual with a view to minimize the foreign exchange risk. Bank also developed different strategies to control foreign exchange risk by setting limits on net open position by currencies, overall gross limit for forward transaction, maximum loss limits per deal and per day, counterparty limit etc. Market scenario of risk is monitored and measured by treasury division to manage the foreign exchange operations in such a way that earnings are not hampered against any adverse movement of market price. 154 Annual Report 2018 The function of treasury Front Office, Mid Office and Back Office are segregated. Mid Office and Back Office are conducting operations in a separate location apart from Treasury Front Office. ABL’s Treasury Front Office i.e. Treasury Division manages and controls day-to-day trading activities under the supervision of Managing Director and CEO and suggestion/instruction of ALCO that ensures continuous monitoring of the level of assumed risk .Treasury Mid Office verifies deal and monitors limit. Back Office is responsible for deal confirmation, settlement of transaction, transferring fund to Nostro account, timely recording and reporting of information on exchange transactions and currency transfer etc. Reporting lines of these three offices are separate and independent to ensure minimization of risk. The ABL’s FOREX risk is minimal as foreign exchange trading exposures are principally derived from customer driven transactions. At the end of the month all foreign exchange transactions are revalued at mark-to-market method as per guidelines of the central bank. As of December, 2018 ABL maintained 32 Nostro accounts to conduct FOREX operation in different currencies. All the Nostro accounts are reconciled fortnightly and outstanding entries are reviewed by the management for settlement. The NOSTRO accounts are verified by the external auditors and reports are submitted to management and Bangladesh Bank. Besides Bank’s Audit and Inspection Division is conducting annual audit to comply with the foreign exchange risk management policy. Audit findings are submitted to Internal Control and Compliance Division and are reported to the Board Audit Committee of the bank. Other Risks In addition, the Bank also manages the risk, taking into consideration the reputation risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, market risk, credit concentration risk, interest rate risk, settlement risk, environmental and climate risk, residual risk and equity price risk which are described below: Reputation Risk Reputation Risk is the current or prospective risk arising from adverse perception of the image of the Bank on the part of the customers, counterparties, shareholders, investors or regulators. Bank’s CAMEL’s rating, regulatory non-compliance, non-payment of banks commitment, customer complaint and service quality, regulatory penalties etc. are factors that cause this risk.
  155. Integrated Report Risk Management Statement of the Board Risk management Committee The Bank manages the reputation risk ensuring the following : a) The Bank effectively develops its policies for risk management to refrain from committing violation of laws, regulations, best banking practices and consumer rights that could affect its reputation. b) Management anticipates and responds to change of a market or regulatory nature that affect its reputation in the market place. Residual Risk A Bank may mitigate risks by the way of collateral, but collateral can pose additional risks (legal, documentation and liquidity risks) which may deteriorate the impact of risk mitigation. For example, (1) The liquidation of collateral is either problematic or time consuming due to error of documentation or delay in legal proceedings. (2) Collateral were valued inappropriately (i.e. Overvaluation). Bank takes extra precaution through process strengthening and CRM application. Operational Risk Operational risk arises mainly due to inadequate or failed internal process, people and systems, or from external events (including legal risk). The Bank is managing these risks through written procedures, regular training and awareness program. ICC Division monitors operational procedure of the Bank. It undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and divisions at the Head Office for reviewing of the operation and compliance of statutory requirements. Liquidity Risk Liquidity Risk is defined as current or prospective threat to an institution’s earnings and capital as a result of the possibility that it will not be able to meet its short term payment obligations at any point in time without incurring unacceptable cost or losses. ABL manages its liquidity in such a way that it avoids running into liquidity problem. This means that asset and Liability position both On and Off Balance Sheet were matched in such a way that the Bank is able to meet its obligation immediately and continuously without adversely affecting its solvency. ABL has contingency plan approved by the Board for handling potential liquidity crisis. addresses through proper evaluation. Credit concentration of ABL is used in a broader sense and includes the following: i) Concentration by economic purpose (sector). ii) Concentration by size of Loan Accounts/ in the name of a single borrower. iii) Concentration by a legally connected group of borrowers. iv) Concentration by region (geographical). v) Concentration by portfolio type (granularity). Any higher concentration will require maintaining higher amount of capital buffer due to risks in these categories. ABL has strategy to redistribute credit concentration and cap borrowings exposures to reduce capital requirement for these risks. Settlement Risk Settlement risk arises from non-realization of receivable from bills and counterparty commitments (both local and foreign) . These are ABL’s receivables and bank has to ensure strong supervision, monitoring and tracking for realization of receivables in time. This often requires review of counterparty’s limit and exposure. The Bank‘s monitoring and follow-up tracking system address the cause of these risks. Market Risk It is the risk of potential losses in the On-balance Sheet and Off-balance Sheet positions of a bank steams from adverse movement in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices. Treasury Division manages the market risk and ALCOM monitors the activities of Treasury Division in managing the risk. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk arises when a banks principal and interest cash flow (including final maturities) both On and OffBalance Sheet, have mismatched repricing dates. The amount at risk is a function of the magnitude or direction of interest rate changes and the size and maturity structure of the mismatched position. ALCOM of the Bank monitors the interest rate movement on a regular basis. Credit Concentration Risk Equity Price Risk Credit concentration risk may arise from credit exposures in the same economic or geographic sector and/or credit concentration in dependent industries which the Bank Equity risk is defined as losses due to changes in market price of equity held.

Interest rate risk is the potential that the value of the on- balance sheet and the off-balance sheet positions of the bank would be negatively affected with the change in the interest rates. Changes in interest rates also affect the underlying value of the bank assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments because the economic value of future cash flows changes when interest rates changes. Assets Liabilities committee (ALCO) monitors the interest rate movement on a regular basis. The bank uses a simple Sensitivity Analysis as well as Duration Gap Analysis to determine its vulnerability against the adverse movement of market variables. For changes in interest rates, currently, ABL is more risk sensitive for its Assets comparable to its liabilities.

  187. Green Banking number of challenges in implementing this . Some of the challenges are due to the developing nature of the country and include the lack of enforcement of the environmental laws, inability to adopt modern technology from the traditional ones, shifting red industries such as tanneries, pharmaceuticals, chemicals to appropriate location, unawareness of the end users etc. Besides, as a developing country we do not afford to adopt modern technologies abandoning the technologies currently in use. The consumer group in Bangladesh is very vulnerable. They are mostly unaware of green practices and are hesitant to pay extra for cleaning up industrial hazards. Some challenges ABL wants to make farmers happy are banking sector specific and include the reluctance of bank board of directors and top management; lack of awareness and motivation to formulate policy documents, strategic plan, sector specific environmental guidelines, lack of technical hand/skilled manpower in formulating green policies, strategies and other documents etc.Most of the directors and senior people of the bank do not have right attitude and understanding of the concept of green banking. They generally want to perform their responsibility simply by taking environmental clearance certificate which is not an effective measure in most of the cases.

  209. INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ’ REPORT 2018 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF 209
  210. Independent Auditors ’ Report to the Shareholders of Agrani Bank Limited Report on the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as well as the separate financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited (the “Bank”), which comprise the consolidated and separate balance sheets as at 31 December 2018 and the consolidated and separate profit and loss accounts, consolidated and separate statements of changes in equity and consolidated and separate cash flow statements for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated and separate financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group and separate financial statements of the Bank give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group and the separate financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2018, and of its consolidated and separate financial performance and its consolidated and separate cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as explained in note # 2. 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 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and the Bank in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and Bangladesh Bank, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) Bye Laws. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matters Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following matters: 1. As disclosed in notes # 9.1.i and 9.1.ii to the financial statements, the Bank has disclosed the current status of business operation of Agrani Exchange Company Pty Limited, Australia and Agrani Remittance House Canada Inc. 2. The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared with the unaudited financial statements of Agrani Remittance House Canada Inc, Canada fully owned subsidiary of the Bank. 3. As disclosed in notes # 12.9 and 13.5 to the financial statements, the Bank has explained the basis for recognition and measurement of provision for loans & advances and also for calculation of regulatory capital amounts respectively. 4. As disclosed in notes # 13.4 and 13.4 (a) to the financial statements, the Bank has maintained risk-based capital amounting to Tk. 3,998.35 crore (Solo basis Tk. 3,975.99 crore) against the requirement of Tk. 3,984.28 crore (Solo basis Tk. 3,941.38 crore) specified by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD Circular # 18 dated 21 December 2014 on Guidelines on Risked-Based Capital Adequacy (Revised Regulatory Capital Framework in line with Basel III) as at 31 December 2018. Consequently, this results in a surplus of Tk. 14.07 crore on a consolidated basis and a surplus of Tk. 34.61 crore on Solo basis for Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) of the Bank. In this regard, we draw your attention to notes # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements. The Bank has maintained Capital Conservation Buffer amounting to Tk. 14.07 crore (solo Tk. 34.61 crore) against the requirement of Tk. 747.05 crore (solo Tk. 739.01 crore) specified by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD Circular # 18 dated 21 December 2014 on Guidelines on Risk-Based Capital Adequacy (Revised Regulatory Capital Framework in line with Basel III) as at 31 December 2018. Consequently, this results in a shortfall of Tk. 732.98 crore on a consolidated basis and Tk. 704.40 crore on solo basis in maintaining Capital Conservation Buffer. 5.In notes # 9.3, 24, 25, 26, 28, 36 to the financial statements, the Bank has disclosed the reasons for not restating the errors made in earlier years. 6.In note # 12.14 to the financial statements, the Bank has made disclosures for keeping provision against Employees’ Superannuation Fund. 7.

Out of these addition and disposal of fixed assets, we have not found item wise break down for Tk. 69,948,378 and Tk. 13,859,000 respectively. This is due to not maintaining a proper fixed assets register of the bank. 8. In notes# 7.1.c, 7.3.c and 7.6 to the financial statements, the Bank disclosed the reasons for non-compliance with Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between the Bank and Bangladesh Bank in some cases. 210 Annual Report 2018
  211. Independent Auditors ’ Report to the Shareholders of Agrani Bank Limited 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 the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 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 Companies Act, 1991 a s a m e n d e d u p t o d a t e 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. 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 skepticism throughout the audit. We also: a) 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. b) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. d) 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. e) 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. f) 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. 211

  227. Notes to the Financial Statements (a) Investments 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 BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 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 recognized at cost. (b) Revaluation gain/loss on Government securities IFRS: As per requirement of IFRS 9 where securities will fall under the category of fair value through profit or loss account, any change in the fair value of assets is recognized through the profit and loss account. Securities designated as amortized cost are measured at effective interest rate method and interest income is recognized through the profit and loss account. Bangladesh Bank: HFT securities are revalued on the Basis of mark to market and at year end any gains on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are recognized in other reserves as a part of equity and any losses on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are charged in the profit and loss account. Interest on HFT securities including amortization of discount are recognized in the profit and loss account. HTM securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are amortized at the year end and gains or losses on amortization are recognized in other reserve as a part of equity. (C) Provision on loans and advances IFRS: As per IFRS 9 an entity shall recognize an impairment allowance on loans and advances based on expected credit losses. At each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance for loans and advances at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on these loans and advances has increased significantly since initial recognition whether assessed on an Individual or collective basis considering all reasonable information, including that which is forwardlooking. For those loans and 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 loans and advances that are possible within 12 months after reporting date. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, BRPD circular no. 19 dated 27 December 2012, and BRPD circular no. 05 dated 29 May 2013, a general provision @ 0.25% to 5% under different categories of unclassified loans (standard/SMA loans) should be maintained regardless of objective evidence of impairment. And specific provision for sub-standard/doubtful/ bad-loss loans should be made at 20%, 50% and 100% respectively on loans net-off eligible securities(if any). Also, a general provision @ 1% should be provided for off-balance sheet exposures. Such provision policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by IAS 39. (d) Recognition of interest in suspense IFRS: Loans and advances to customers are generally classified at amortized cost as per IFRS 9 and interest income is recognized by using the effective interest rate method to the gross carrying amount over the term of the loan. Once a loan subsequently become credit-impaired, the entity shall apply the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of these loans and advances. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, once a loan is classified, interest on such loans are not allowed to be recognized as income, rather the corresponding amount needs to be credited to an interest in suspense account, which is presented as liability in the balance sheet. 227
  228. Notes to the Financial Statements (e) Other comprehensive income IFRS: As per ‘IAS 1- Presentation of Financial Statements’, 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 are to be followed by all banks. The templates of financial statements issued by Bangladesh Bank do not 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 statements of changes in equity. (f) Financial instruments - presentation and disclosure In several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categories, recognize, 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. (g) 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 debtor falls to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognized 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 lass allowance for expected credit losses as per impairment requirement and the amount initially recognized less, income recognized in accordance with the principles of 1FRS 15. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, financial guarantees such as letter of credit and letter of guarantee will be treated as off-balance sheet items. No liability is recognized for the guarantee except the cash margin. (h) REPO transactions IFRS: When an entity sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to repurchase the same (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (REPO or stock lending), the arrangement is accounted for as a collateralized borrowing and the underlying asset continues to be recognized in the entity’s financial statements. This transaction will be treated as borrowing and the difference between selling price and repurchase price will be treated as interest expense. Bangladesh Bank: As per BB circulars/guidelines, when a bank sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to repurchase the same (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (REPO or stock lending), the arrangement is accounted for as a normal sale transaction and the financial assets should be derecognized in the seller’s book and recognized in the buyer’s book. (i) Cash and cash equivalents IFRS: Cash and cash equivalent items should be reported as cash item as per ‘IAS 7- Statement of Cash Flows’. Bangladesh Bank: Some cash and cash equivalent items such as ‘money at call and on short notice’, treasury bills, Bangladesh Bank bills and prize bonds are not shown as cash and cash equivalents.

  229. Notes to the Financial Statements (j) Non-banking assets IFRS: No indication in the name of Non-banking asset is found in any IFRS. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, there must exist a face item named Non-banking asset. (k) Cash flow statement IFRS: AS per ‘IAS 7- Statement of Cash Flows’ the Cash flow statement can be prepared using either the direct method or the indirect method. 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 circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, cash flow is the mixture of direct and indirect methods. (l) Balance with Bangladesh Bank (CRR) IFRS: Balance 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- Statement of Cash Flows’. Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank is treated as cash and cash equivalents. (m) Presentation of intangible asset IFRS: An intangible asset must be identified and recognized, and the disclosure must be given as per ‘IAS 38-Intangible Assets’. Bangladesh Bank: There is no regulation for intangible assets in BRPD circular no.14 dated 25 June 2003. (n) Off balance sheet items IFRS: There is no term in the name of off-balance sheet items in any IFRS; hence 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.14 dated 25 June 2003, off balance sheet items (e.g. Letter of credit, Letter of guarantee etc.) must be disclosed separately on the face of the balance sheet. (o) Loans and advances net of provision IFRS: Loans and advances should be presented net of provisions. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no.14 dated 25 June 2003, provision on loans and advances should be presented separately as liability and cannot be netted off against loans and advances. 2.2 Basis for Measurement The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following items: a) Government Treasury Bills and Bonds designated as ‘Held for Trading (HFT)’ at present value using marking to market concept with gain crediting to revaluation reserve. b) Government Treasury Bills and Bonds designated as ‘Held to Maturity (HTM)’ at present value using amortization concept. c) Land and building at revalued amounts. 229
  230.

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 2013), banks in Bangladesh took up the issue collectively and sought opinion from the Association of Bankers Bangladesh Limited (ABB) on the same. ABB wrote a letter to the Ministry of Finance of the 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 the 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 statements for the year ended on December 31, 2018. (MD.

Agrani Bank Limited Islami Banking Unit Annexure- M Islami Banking activities was approved in Amin Court Corporate Branch , Gulshan Branch, Maizdi Court Branch, Lal Dighi Par Corporate Branch and Agrabad Jahan Building Corporate Branch of Agrani Bank Limited upon setting up Islami Banking windows with separate entry door and counter under a separate book of accounts. Islamic Banking Windows are operated under Islami Banking Unit where overall Islami Banking different from those of conventional banking. Accounting system is vital for ensuring Shariah compliance in such banking operation. Our Islamic Banking operation follows the accounting principles that refrain from interest. Islami Banking operation run through a separate Islami banking Software. Here are the principles for accounting under its Islamic Banking. 1. Deposits and Profit Sharing Islamic Banks mobilize its deposits through two principles of Shariah to provide interest-free banking facilities a. Al-Wadiah and b. Mudaraba principles. In Al-Wadiah Account, bank receives money with the condition to return the same, with permission to use/invest without paying benefit. In Mudaraba deposits, bank plays the role of entrepreneur (Mudarib) and the depositors as fund provider (Rabb al Maal). Under this principle, profit accrued from investment and financing are shared as per pre-agreed ratio. Islami Banking in Agrani Bank Limited share profit with depositors in accordance with the Guideline for Islami Banking by Bangladesh Bank. Mudaraba depositors are entitled to get minimum 65% of the investment income earned through deployment of Mudaraba Fund as per weight age assigned to each type of Mudaraba deposit. In the year 2017, the Bank paid 65% of Investment Income earned through deployment of Mudaraba Fund. In some Mudaraba Deposits, additional rate was allowed over the rate derived as per weight age. Profit is paid/provided to Mudaraba Deposit accounts at provisional rate on half-yearly/yearly/anniversary basis considering overall projected growth, performance and profitability of the Bank during the year. Final Rates of profit of any accounting year are declared after year end. 2. Investment Operation Investments are recognized at gross amount on the date on which they are originated. After initial recognition investments are stated in the Balance Sheet net off profit receivable and unearned income. However, provision for investments is not net-off with investments. Profit Receivable – the amount of unexpired portion of profit charged on Bai-Murabaha investment at the time of sale of goods/ services to customer/ client. Unearned Income - the amount of unrealized portion of profit/ value addition of fixed assets [property,plant & equipment] under Hire Purchase Under Shirkatul Melk (HPSM) investment for gestation period. For investment purpose two systems are followed: a. Fixed return based investment b. Variable return based investment Fixed return based investment system is applicable for Bai-Muajjal, Bai-Murabaha investment mode. Under this mode, Bank sells thegoods to a client at a fixed profit /mark-up on deferred payment basis. Hire Purchase Under Shirkatul Melk (HPSM) is also a fixed return based investment mode. In this case rate of rent is fixed but amount of rent becomes variable on the basis of diminishing balance method. Variable return based income is applied for our Musaharaka mode of investment.

For Bai-Muajjal , Bai-Murabaha Investment While creating each deal, in case of Bai-Muajjal, Bai-Murabaha mode of investment, mark up/profit is added to the bank’s purchase cost with a credit to unearned income A/c. Thereafter time apportionment of profit is recognised out of the unearned income amount at the end of each month on accrual basis. Allowance (rebate) for early repayment, if any, may however be applied at Bank’s discretion. For Hire Purchase Shirkatul Melk (HPSM) Investment In case of HPSM mode of investment Rent is charged and taken into income account at the end of each month on accrual basis.

  340. Agrani Equity & Investment Limited Auditors’ Report & Audited Financial Statement 340 Annual Report 2018
  341. Auditor ’s Report to the Shareholders of Agrani Equity & Investment Limited Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Agrani Equity & Investment Limited (the Subsidiary Company of Agrani Bank Limited), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018 and the related statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended, and notes to the financial positions, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2018, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). 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 ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) & the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) Bye-Laws. 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 Controls Management is responsible for maintenance of the required books of accounts & records, preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRSs 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 and also for disclosure of matters that may affect any fact of the financial statements. 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. Auditors’ 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 judgement and maintain professional scepticism 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. • 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 341
  342. Auditor ’s Reportto the Shareholders of Agrani Equity & Investment Limited • 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 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 Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 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, we also report the following: i) We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof; ii) 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 those books; iii) The Statement of Financial Position and the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books of account.

  348. Agrani SME Financing Company Limited Auditor ’s Report & Audited Financial Statement 348 Annual Report 2018 348
  349. Independent Auditor ’s Report to the Shareholders of Agrani SME Financing Company Limited Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Agrani SME Financing Company Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the balance Sheet as at December 31, 2018 and the profit and loss account, 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. In our views, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2018, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as explained in note 2.01, 2.02 and 2.03. 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 Auditor’s 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), Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) and Bangladesh Bank, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) Bye Laws. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matter We draw attention to the note 8.2 of the financial statements where management disclosed the reason for making 100% provision against receivable from Agrani Bank Limited of Taka 7,322,127 as instructed by the Bangladesh Bank in 2015 and subsequent recommendation made on April 03, 2019 by the four members committee formed by the Audit committee of the company to write-off the above mentioned receivables from balance sheet. The decision will be placed to the Board through Audit Committee of the Company for approval. We also draw attention to the note 8.8 of the financial statements where management disclosed the reason for not adjusting payable to Agrani Bank of Taka 55,672,663 since long. Subsequently, a recommendation has been made on April 03, 2019 by the four members committee formed by the Audit committee of the company to issue Right Shares for adjustment of Payable to Agrani Bank Limited amounting to Taka 55,672,663. The decision will be placed to the Board through Audit Committee of the Company for approval. Our opinion is not modified in respect of the matters emphasized Other Matter The financial statements of Agrani SME Financing Company Ltd., for the year ended 31 December 2017 were audited by Hussain Farhad & Co., who expressed unmodified opinion on March 27, 2018. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the 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 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 Financial Statements and Internal Controls 349
  350. Independent Auditor ’s Report to the Shareholders of Agrani SME Financing Company Limited Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with IFRSs as explained in note 2.01, 2.02 & 2.03, 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. 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 judgement 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. • 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 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 to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 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. 350 Annual Report 2018
  351. Independent Auditor ’s Reportto the Shareholders of Agrani SME Financing Company Limited 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. Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the Companies Act, 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987, the Financial Institutions Act, 1993 and the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank, we also report that: (i) we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof; (ii) 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 those books; (iii) the balance sheet and profit and loss account together with the annexed notes dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books of account and returns; (iv) the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Company’s business for the year; (v) the financial statements of the Company have been drawn up in conformity with the Financial Institutions Act, 1993 and in accordance with the accounting rules and regulations which were issued by Bangladesh Bank to the extent applicable to the Company; (vi) adequate provisions have been made for loans, advances, leases, investment and other assets which are, in our opinion, doubtful of recovery and Bangladesh Bank’s instructions in this regard have been followed properly; (vii) the financial statements of the Company conform to the prescribed standards set in the accounting regulations which were issued by Bangladesh Bank after consultation with the professional accounting bodies of Bangladesh; (viii) the records and statements which were submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and recorded in the financial statements; (ix) statements sent to Bangladesh Bank have been checked on sample basis and no inaccuracy has come to our attention; (x) taxes and other duties were collected and deposited in the Government treasury by the Company as per Government instructions found satisfactory based on test checking; (xi) nothing has come to our attention that the Company has adopted any unethical means i.e. ‘window dressing’ to inflate the profit and mismatch between the maturity of assets and liabilities; (xii) proper measures have been taken to eliminate the irregularities mentioned in the inspection report of Bangladesh Bank and the instructions which were issued by Bangladesh Bank and other regulatory authorities have been complied properly as disclosed to us by management; (xiii) based on our work as mentioned above under the auditor’s responsibility section, the internal control and the compliance of the Company is satisfactory, and effective measures have been taken to prevent possible material fraud, forgery and internal policies are being followed appropriately; (xiv) the Company has complied with relevant laws pertaining to capital, reserve and net worth, cash and liquid assets and procedure for sanctioning and disbursing loans/leases found satisfactory; 351

  361. Independent Auditor ’s Report to the Member of Agrani Exchange House Private Limited Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Agrani Exchange House Private Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows of the Company for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Act”) and Financial Reporting Standards in Singapore (FRSs) so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2018 and of the financial performance, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company for the year ended on that date. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (SSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (ACRA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Statement set out on pages 1 and 2. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Management and Directors for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and FRSs, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets. 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. The directors’ responsibilities include 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 assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs 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 361
  362. Independent Auditor ’s Reportto the Member of Agrani Exchange House Private Limited taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism 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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. • 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 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 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. We communicate with the directors 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. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In our opinion, the accounting and other records required by the Act to be kept by the Company have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

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, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control; • 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 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern; and • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Company, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with the directors 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. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in Malaysia, we also report that in our opinion the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Other matters This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Companies Act, 2016 in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.
