Dear Stakeholders,
The year 2022 was a year of uncertainty. The year witnessed a volatile and uneven economic recovery. Like other
countries around the world, Bangladesh is dealing with the impact of global shocks – first from the pandemic and then
from the ongoing war in Ukraine i.e. rising global commodity prices, supply chain disruptions, and slowdown in external
demand have led to high inflation, a sharp widening of the current account deficit, depreciation of the taka and the rapid
decline of foreign exchange reserves etc. The robust economic recovery of Bangladesh from the COVID-19 pandemic
was interrupted by Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. Despite the government and Bangladesh Bank implementing policy
measures, handling the situation was challenging for an import-dependent country like Bangladesh, as unprecedented
levels of inflation caused panic from the macro to the micro level.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
Global economic growth prospects are confronting several
headwinds mainly due to the Russia-Ukraine war, multi-
decade record high inflation in many economies, interest
rate increases in most regions, and lingering Covid-19
effects in some parts of the world, particularly in China.
According to World Bank’s Global Prospect Report (January Source: IMF World Economic Outlook (April 2023)
that passed through into higher import, producer, and
consumer prices. The higher share of food in consumer
spending has caused inflation to accelerate more in low-
income countries compared to other EMDEs. Inflation
has risen across a broad range of goods and services (Ball,
Leigh, and Mishra 2022). Global core inflation has risen
markedly, reaching over 6 percent late last year, its highest
level since 1992. As a result, short-term (one-year-ahead)
inflation expectations have risen in most economies. In
contrast, long-term (five year-ahead) inflation expectations
have been relatively more stable, edging up by only about
0.15 percentage point in both advanced economies and
EMDEs since the onset of the pandemic. This stability
may reflect the credibility of the commitment of most

Outlook 2023
The year 2023 will remain a turbulent time for the financial industry of Bangladesh. Inflation will torment the lower
and lower-middle income population, who will lose a big segment of their savings and also have less purchasing power.
Depletion of foreign- exchange reserves and shortage of dollars in banks have compelled the central bank to restrict
some imports. Exporters are facing some difficulties to open letters of credit. Inflow of remittance in the official channels
has ebbed. The high NPL ratio and the issue of good governance in banks and NBFIs are also matter of concern for the
financial stability of the economy. Besides, banking industry will also face the challenge of mobilising deposits – which
we have already witnessed in the latter part of 2022. To overcome these challenges, Bangladesh Bank has already taken a
series of policy initiatives, which include raising the policy interest rate amid quantitative tightening through the selling
of a huge amount of dollars in the market; continuing the repo and liquidity support facilities for banks and NBFIs, and
extending the refinance facilities to neutralize the tight liquidity condition; discouraging imports of luxury and non-
essential commodities; enhancing the facilities to improve the export receipts and inward remittances; and engaging
with concerned commercial banks and NBFIs to deal with NPLs and good governance issues.
Nevertheless, it’s a good news for us that IMF FX loan has already been approved and partial disbursement was also
made in the meantime

POLITICAL
The present political climate of Bangladesh has been remain stable in last past few years as there is no major political
strikes and blockades taking place. However, the biggest political threat comes from the international scene. The recent
Russia-Ukraine conflict has sent shocks through the entire global economic scene, causing disruption to supply chains,
causing the price of commodities such as grains and oil to rise drastically and ultimately it may increase the level
of inflation. In addition, global financial market faced massive disruptions and Bangladesh’s capital market was no

macroeconomic conditions have supported rapid economic growth over the past two decades. Bangladesh has achieved
rapid improvements on may social development indicators including infant and child mortality rates and educational
gender disparity. A strong recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continued in FY22, although a recent surge in
commodity prices due to Russian invasion of Ukraine has presented new headwinds.
Bangladesh is also a remarkable story of poverty reduction and development. From being one of the poorest nations
at birth in 1971, Bangladesh reached lower-middle income status in 2015. It is on track to graduate from the UN’s Least
Developed Countries (LDC) list in 2026. Poverty declined from 43.5 percent in 1991 to 14.3 percent in 2016, based on
the international poverty line of $1.90 a day (using 2011 Purchasing Power Parity exchange rate). Moreover, human

towards a cashless society and thereby economic activities would be augmented. Country-wide spread mobile network,
availability of electricity, new financial technologies, transformative business models, and the Government’s eagerness
to digitize G2P payments act as the catalyst to enable better access to financial services. The same infrastructure has
encouraged Bangladesh Bank to introduce end-to-end electronic processing of banking activities or transactions, known
as “digital banking.” It will accommodate different segments of the population so that the unbanked will be banked, the

MODERATE RISK
ENVIRONMENTAL
Bangladesh is recognized worldwide as one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of global warming and
climate change. This is due to its unique geographic location, dominance of floodplains, low elevation from the sea,
high population density, high levels of poverty, and overwhelming dependence on nature, its resources and services.
The country has a history of extreme climatic events claiming millions of lives and destroying past development gains.
Variability in rainfall pattern, combined with increased snow melt from the Himalayas, and temperature extremes are
resulting in crop damage and failure, preventing farmers and those dependent from meaningful earning opportunities.
In a changing climate the pattern of impacts are eroding our assets, investment and future. This stands for families,
communities and the state. Global warming and climate change threatens settlements and the number of people
displaced from their land due to riverbank erosion, permanent inundation and sea level rise which are increasing rapidly
every year. Resources and efforts of government and people are quickly drained addressing the impact of one event when
another hazard strikes. Impacts of global warming and climate change have the potential to challenge our development
efforts, human security and the future.

On the way to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic depressions, Bangladesh economy during 2022 faced even more
challenges due to the Russia-Ukraine war, which sparked massive inflation resulted price hike in energy, food and all
other costs, currency depreciation against US dollar and a tightening money market. Followed by same, the banking
sector in Bangladesh also encountered challenging economic environment with ongoing uncertainty and volatility in
the global & local market. Besides, significant regulatory changes and increasing competition, there is more pressure on
banking business & profitability growth.
During 2022, Bangladesh Bank set the LC margin to discourage the luxury item & non-essential products import with the
aim to offset rising import costs and release the pressure on forex reserves. Besides, BB introduced uniform dollar-taka
exchange rate for international trade to curb currency volatility. Also, refinancing schemes, stimulus packages and loan
moratorium facilities were continued in different sectors to support businesses from the adverse economic shocks due
to COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine war. Furthermore, central bank adopted many other cautious and prudent measures to
ensure overall macroeconomic stability in the country.
Despite many challenges, our bank has remained resilient and has continued to grow and deliver solid financial results.
We remained steadfast in providing financial support and solutions to our customer for ensuring that they could able
to tackle ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the global & local market and its resulting impact. In doing so, we also
continued to prioritise capital and liquidity in order to keep funding accessible to customers, while ensuring sufficient
provision buffers to address potential asset quality issues. We have followed Bangladesh Bank’s instruction meticulously
for maintaining provision and recognizing interest income. We have complied Bangladesh Bank’s requirement of 1%
additional special General provision-COVID 19 and extra 2% provision against clients enjoying Covid-19 facilities and
maintained additional provision based on the qualitative judgment of Bangladesh Bank for absorbing any unforeseen
shocks.
Thus, with our prudent stance, we managed to deliver a resilient performance in 2022.

possible through capitalization of- i)Cross Selling Propositions, ii)Efficient NPL Management, iii)Careful On Boarding of
New Borrower, iv)Far-sighted Treasury Management, v)Portfolio Diversification, vi)Realization of Invested Funds and
Cautious Monitoring.
Since the start of Covid-19 followed by single digit loan interest rate regime, Jamuna Bank was very much cautious in
maintaining its health of the balance sheet. During the last 2 years, bank’s strategy was to go slower in increasing balance
sheet size, rather preferred to focus on strengthening the quality of its loan portfolio. Moreover, the bank’s move was to
ensure return from treasury business, increase low costs deposits base, let go high cost long tenor based deposits, thus
save costs as loan demand was pretty low.
Our Corporate portfolio increased by increased 3.42%, SME portfolio reduced by 2.35%, Retail portfolio increased by
9.40%, Agricultural and Micro advances increased by 22.52% and OBU, Credit Card & Others portfolio increased by
1.52%. Total loans and advances have increased by 3.24%. In order to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
for avoiding risk of exposure to single borrower, concentration on large loans, to bring in excellence in credit operation
in relation to risk management, yield, exposure, tenure, collaterals, security valuation etc. we move cautiously in the
year 2022.

KAARUU
Kaaruu is a boutique house that manufactures fashionable three pieces, Sharee, Panjabi etc. Mrs. Jannatul Ferdous is
the entrepreneur of this concern. From childhood, Jannatul had interest on fashion design and she used to design her
own dress which was appreciated by others. In the year 2008, while she was a student of Post Graduation, she started to
design three pieces and sharees at very limited scale as hobby and sell them through online platform. She got positive
response from target market and peer group people. After completion of Post Graduation she started a job but didn’t stop
designing fashion wears. In the year 2013, she established her own factory with limited fund collected from friends and
family members. In that stage, she faced tremendous challenges to survive as revenue was very limited in consideration
of expenditure to maintain factory and procure raw materials. She had to close the factory in the year 2016 due to scarcity
of working capital. One year later she managed some fund and started her factory again. Few days later, she left her job
to concentrate fully on business. This time she moved to many Banks/FIs for working capital loan but couldn’t manage
as she had no collateral to offer against loan. Eventually she came to Jamuna Bank in 2018 for working capital loan.
Jamuna Bank visited her project and approved working capital loan to her business concern. She got relief and wheel of
production of her factory started to move. Now she is a successful entrepreneur with a factory in Dhaka, a showroom in
Sylhet and numerous customer base in online platform.
She is a happy customer of Jamuna Bank and cordially admits support of Jamuna Bank against her success.

determine their market value on a daily basis. The back-office also gathers market rates from independent sources,
i.e. other than the dealers of the same organization(s) to avoid any conflict of interest with reporting to the line
manager. This exercise provides information regarding the profitability or loss of outstanding contracts.
• Market trend of interest/profit rate is analyzed to make proper decision about interest/profit rate determination of
various deposits and credit/investment product of the bank which is monthly discussed in the ALCO meeting.
• Adequate capital is maintained against market risk under RBCA guideline of Bangladesh Bank.
• Scenario analysis for interest/profit rate risk is carried on through simple gap analysis and duration gap analysis.

Operational Risk were 10% and 10% respectively at the end of December-2022.
7.2 Capital Adequacy under Pillar I of Basel III: Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR)
Bank’s capital is the “cushion” for potential losses which protects the bank’s depositors or other borrowers. Capital
adequacy is the measure of the financial strength and sustainability of a bank. Thus, capital management is considered
as an integral part of the risk management of Jamuna Bank Limited. The Bank has a capital management process in
place to measure and monitor its available capital as per the guidelines on the Risk-Based Capital Adequacy Framework
in line with the Basel III issued by Bangladesh Bank.
As per Basel III Road Map, Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) for the banks in Bangladesh is currently 10.00% of its
total RWA with the addition of Capital Conservation Buffer of 2.50% of total RWA from the year 2019.

Annual Report 2022
At the end of 2021 and 2022 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of Jamuna Bank Limited stood at 16.42% and
16.75% respectively which indicates that Bank is far above the Basel-III implementation road map of Bangladesh Bank to
maintain targeted CRAR of 12.50% with buffer.
7.3 ICAAP report under Pillar II of Basel III: Adequate Capital Requirement
Supervisory Review Process (SRP) is the second pillar of Basel III, where Banks maintain the adequate capital requirement
in addition to the MCR under pillar 1. The key principle of the supervisory review process (SRP) is that “banks have a
process for assessing overall capital adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining their capital
at an adequate level”. Jamuna Bank Limited prepares ICAAP report on an annual basis and maintains adequate level
of capital each year as per Bangladesh Bank’s Supervisory Review Evaluation Process (SREP). The Bank has perfectly
maintained adequate capital through rigorous oversight of the Bank’s SRP Team.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
Bank’s Approach to Assessing Capital Adequacy: As banks in Bangladesh are now in a stage of developing risk management
models, BB suggested using Standardized Approach for computation of the capital charge for credit risk and market risk.
The bank adopted the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) as prescribed by Bangladesh Bank in determining capital charge
against operational risk. Under the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA), the capital charge for operational risk is a fixed
percentage (denoted by alpha) of average positive annual gross income of the bank over the past three years.
Assessing regulatory capital in relation to overall risk exposure of a bank is an integrated and comprehensive process.
The bank, through its Supervisory Review Committee and Risk Management Committee, takes active measures to
identify, quantify, manage and monitor all risks to which the Bank is exposed to. Assessment of capital adequacy will be
in alignment with the findings of these exercises.
QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
The following table shows component wise allocation of capital to meet three risks – Credit Risk, Market Risk and
Operational Risk. As on the reporting date, the bank maintained a Capital to Risk weighted Asset Ratio (CRAR) of 16.69%
on ‘Consolidated Basis’ and 16.75% on ‘Solo Basis’ against the regulatory requirement of 12.50%. The bank had an excess
capital of BDT 786.72 crore (Solo) and BDT 778.03 crore (consolidated) after meeting all three risks as on reporting date

Credit Exposure by Risk Weight: Risk-weighted asset is a bank’s assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, weighted
according to risk. Usually, different classes of assets have different risk weights associated with them. The calculation of
risk weights is determined by the revised “Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy” by BB. Banks need more capital
for assets where risk weight is higher and less capital for assets where risk weight is lower. The following table shows the
bank’s exposure under three main risk weight bands.
Less than 100% risk weight 16,055.50 16,055.50 3,319.94 3,319.94 19,375.44 19,375.44

The process of interest rate risk management by the bank involves determination of the business objectives, expectation
about future macro-economic variables and understanding the money markets and debt market in which it operates.
Interest rate risk management also includes quantifying the appetite for interest rate risk to which bank is comfortable.
Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) monitors the interest rate movement on a regular basis. Duration Gap analysis is one
of the techniques by which JBL measures interest rate risk in the banking book on a quarterly basis. Duration is the
measure of a portfolio’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

Annual Report 2022
MARKET RISK
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
Market risk is the risk that the value of a portfolio, either an investment portfolio or a trading portfolio, will decrease due
to the change in value of the market risk factors. The four standard market risk factors are equity prices, interest rates,
foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The objectives of our market risk policies and processes are to obtain the
best balance of risk and return whilst meeting customers’ requirements. The primary categories of market risk for the
bank are:
Interest Rate Risk: The risk of loss resulting from changes in interest rates. As a result of mismatch of interest rates on
its assets and liabilities and/or timing differences in the maturity thereof.
Foreign Exchange Risk: It is the risk to earnings and capital arising from adverse movements in currency exchange rates.
It refers to the impact of adverse movement in currency exchange rates on the value of open foreign currency position.
There are also the risk of default of the counter parties and settlement risk.
Equity Risk: It is risk that results from adverse changes in the value of equity related portfolios.
Commodity Price Risk: Commodity price risk arises from changes in commodity prices and implied volatilities in
commodity options, covering energy, precious metals, base metals and agriculture. Currently we do not have any
exposure in commodity financing.
Market Risk Management: To manage, monitors & control the above risks the Bank has Risk Management Committee &
Asset-Liability Committee comprising the all Heads and Seniors Executives and Mid Officers etc. They set in every month
to discuss the matters and takes immediate steps as and when required to mitigate the issues.
To manage the interest rate risk, ALCO regularly monitors various ratios and parameters. Among the ratios, the key
ratios that ALCO regularly monitors are Liquid asset to total assets, Volatile Liability dependency ratio, medium term
funding ratio and short-term borrowing to Liquid assets ratio. ALCO also regularly monitors the interest rate sensitive
gap and duration gap of total portfolio.
To manage exchange rate risk, bank always keep its net open position within the limit set by central bank. Also to
manage exchange rate risk in cross currency, bank always square its position in cross currency or convert its exposure
to USD. For monitoring and controlling the risk Bank has made contacts with several foreign banks and closely monitors
the incoming and outgoing sources & payment schedule of foreign currency.
To manage equity risk, the bank ensures taking prudent investment decisions complying sectoral preference as per
investment policy of the bank and capital market exposure limit set by BB.
OPERATIONAL RISK
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
Operational Risk is defined as the risk of direct or indirect loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes,
people and systems or from external events. This definition includes legal risk, but excludes strategic and reputation
risk.
As a part of continued surveillance, Strategic Review and Development Committee (Strat Com), Executive Risk
Management Committee (ERMC) regularly reviews different aspects of operational risk. The analytical assessment was
reported to the Board/Board Risk Management Committee/Audit Committee of the Bank for review and formulating
appropriate policies, tool & techniques for mitigation of operational risk.
The operational risk may be of this following category:
Ւ Internal Fraud.
Ւ External Fraud.
Ւ Employment practices & work plan.
Ւ Clients, products & business practice.
Ւ Damage of physical assets.
Ւ Business disrupt & system failure.
Ւ Execution, delivery & process management.
Ւ Legal risk.
392
Annual Report 2022
Currently, Jamuna Bank Limited is using some models or tools for mitigating operational risk such as Self-Assessment
of Anti-fraud Internal Control; Quarterly Operational Report (QOR) and Departmental Control Function Check List
(DCFCL) in line with the Bangladesh Bank’s relevant Instructions and recommendations. It is required to submit the
statement on Self-Assessment of Anti-fraud Internal Control to Bangladesh Bank on quarterly rest.
In addition, Bank’s Anti-Money laundering activities are headed by CAMLCO and their activities are devoted to protect
against all money laundering and terrorist finance related activities. The newly established Central Customer Service
& Complaint Management Cell was also engaged in mitigating the operation risks of the Bank. Apart from that, there
is adequate check and balance at every stage of operation, authorities are properly segregated and there is at least dual
control on every transaction to protect against operational risk.

Market Value Added (MVA) is the difference between the current market value of a company and the capital contributed by
the investors. Higher MVA is better for the organization. A high MVA indicates that the company has created substantial
wealth for the shareholders. A negative MVA means that the value of management’s actions and investments are less
than the value of the capital contributed to the company by the capital market.

Paper consumption:
Jamuna Bank places a strong emphasis on reducing its environmental impact through internal and external
communication methods. The bank utilizes electronic means such as emails and SMS to communicate with both its staff
and customers. This not only streamlines communication, but also helps to reduce the consumption of paper. The bank
has made a conscious effort to move towards a paperless environment and has introduced products and services that
aim to eliminate the need for paper-based transactions.
In 2022, Jamuna Bank was able to save a total of 37.69 metric tons of paper, which is equivalent to a savings of BDT 6.71
million. The bank only uses external suppliers for the necessary papers it needs. To further reduce its impact, the bank
implements the 3R approach of reducing, reusing, and recycling. The bank makes use of both sides of paper for printing
draft copies, and any remaining paper deemed as waste is shredded and recycled for use as raw materials.

Water Consumption
Jamuna Bank Limited places a strong emphasis on the efficient use of water as a resource. The bank recognizes that
access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for its employees, and therefore, it has taken several measures to
ensure its availability. The primary source of water for the bank is through a government-operated water supply line.
The water is stored in a water tank and is used primarily for drinking purposes by the employees. The bank is conscious
about the water usage and does not generate any water waste. In addition to the water supply from the government line,
the bank also procures purified drinking water from external suppliers to ensure its employees have access to clean and
safe drinking water. The bank is committed to maintaining the highest standards of health and safety for its employees
and takes every precaution to ensure that the water consumed by them is of the highest quality.

GHG Emissions
Jamuna Bank Limited recognizes the impact that its operations and vehicles have on the environment. The bank operates
vehicles that run on diesel and gasoline, and also relies on diesel-powered generators. These activities directly contribute
to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. Additionally, the bank is aware that its consumption
of electricity from the Bangladesh national grid indirectly contributes to GHG emissions. The bank is committed to
reducing its environmental impact and working towards a more sustainable future.

Annual Report 2022
Credit monitoring
We regularly monitor credit exposures, portfolio performance, and external trends through relationship and
corporate administration team at Branch and Head Office. Internal risk management reports containing
information on key environmental, political and economic trends across major portfolios; portfolio delinquency
and loan impairment performance; as well as credit grade migration are presented to risk committees (HOCC
and PAMC). The HOCC & PAMC meets regularly to assess the impact of external events and trends on the credit
risk portfolio and to define and implement our response in terms of appropriate changes to portfolio shape,
underwriting standards, risk policy and procedures. Accounts or portfolios are placed on Early Alert (EA)
when they display signs of weakness or financial deterioration, for example, where there is a decline in the
customer’s position within the industry, a breach of covenants, non-performance of an obligation, or there are
issues relating to ownership or management.
Such accounts and portfolios are subjected to a dedicated process overseen by the Monitoring & Recovery
Division. Account plans are re-evaluated and remedial actions are agreed and monitored. Remedial actions
include, but are not limited to, exposure reduction, security enhancement, exiting the account or immediate
movement of the account into the control of Recovery unit. In Retail/Consumer Banking, portfolio delinquency
trends are monitored continuously at a detailed level. Individual customer behavior is also tracked and
informed in lending decisions. Accounts which are past due are subject to a collections process, monitored
in collaboration with the Relationship manager by the Risk function. Charged-off accounts of the Bank are
managed by specialist recovery teams.
Concentration risk
Credit concentration risk is managed within concentration caps set for counterparty or groups of connected
counterparty, for industry sector; and for product. Additional targets are set and monitored for concentrations
by credit committee. Credit concentrations are monitored by the responsible risk committees in each of the
businesses and concentration limits that are material to the Bank are reviewed and approved at least annually
by the Board of Directors.
Credit risk mitigation
Potential credit losses from any given account, customer or portfolio are mitigated using a range of tools such
as collateral, netting agreements, insurance, and other guarantees. The reliance that can be placed on these
mitigates is carefully assessed in light of issues such as legal certainty and enforceability, market valuation
correlation and counterparty risk of the guarantor. Risk mitigation policies determine the eligibility of
collateral types. Collateral types which are eligible for risk mitigation include: cash; residential, commercial
and industrial property; fixed assets such as motor vehicles, plant and machinery; marketable securities;
commodities; bank guarantees; and letters of credit. Collateral is valued in accordance with our credit policy,
which prescribes the frequency of valuation for different collateral types, based on the level of price volatility
of each type of collateral. Collateral held against impaired loans is maintained at fair value.
3.15.2 Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that an investment’s value changing due to changes in currency exchange
rates. The risk that an investor will have to close out a long or short position in a foreign currency at a loss
due to an adverse movement in exchange rates. The risk is most acute for businesses that deal in more than
one currency. However, other businesses are indirectly exposed to foreign exchange risk if, for example, their
business relies on imported products and services.
Foreign exchange risk should be managed where fluctuations in exchange rates impact the business profitability.
Sources of foreign exchange risk :
Foreign exchange risk for a business may arise from a number of sources, including:
· where the business is related to imports or exports
· where other costs, such as capital expenditure, are denominated in foreign currency
· where export bill is received in foreign currency
· where other income, such as royalties, interest, dividends etc., is received in foreign currency
· where the loans are denominated (and therefore payable) in foreign currency
· where the business has offshore assets such as operations or subsidiaries that are valued in a foreign
currency, or foreign currency deposits.
Methods of measuring foreign exchange risk:
There are many ways to measure foreign exchange risk, ranging from simple to complex measures. Following
are some of the examples of the simpler measures which can be applied and understood by most businesses :
· MIS of foreign currency exposures
· Table of projected foreign currency cash-flows
· Sensitivity analysis
· Value at risk

into determining deferred tax liabilities or assets this year, but the management has decided to consider the full
provision amount within the earliest possible time.

Annual Report 2022
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give true and fair view of the financial position of the company
as at 31 December 2022, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), the companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations.
Going Concern
The company earned profit during the year.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements and Internal Controls.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
IFRSs, the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulation 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 include 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 is exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
608
Annual Report 2022
• The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for on resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, 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 requiring 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 statements information of the entities or
business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identity during our audit.
• We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and the communicated with them 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 auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the 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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable
Laws, Rules and Regulations issued by the appropriate authority, we also report the following:
• We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary
for the purposes of our audit and made due verification thereof;
• In our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appeared
from our examination of these books;
• The financial statements dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books of account.

This represents the acquisition of CSE membership. According to Exchange Demutualization Act 2013 and
Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) has approved Demutualization scheme. Chittagong
Stock Exchange PLC (CSE) has allotted total 4,287,330 ordinary shares at a face value of Taka 10.00 each against
acquisition cost of Taka 2,80,000,000. Out of the shares allotted CSE has transferred 1,714,932 shares to BO
