The Message
from the
Holy Qur’an

So eat of the lawful and pure (things) which Allah has provided for you. And
be grateful for the favor of Allah, if it is He Whom you worship.
(Surah An-Nahl : 114)

Verily! Allah will not change the condition of a people as long as they do not
change their state of goodness themselves.
(Surah Ar-Ra’d : 11)

And say (O Muhammad) “Do deeds! Allah will see your deeds, and (so will) His
Messenger and the believers. And you will be brought back to the All-Knower
of the unseen and the seen. Then He will inform you of what you used to do.”
(Surah At-Taubah : 105)
Guidance from
the Hadith

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported : The Messenger of
Allah ( ) said, “When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for
three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is
beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased).”
[Sahih-al-Muslim].

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported : The Prophet ( ) said
to me, “Do not belittle any good deed, even meeting your brother (Muslim)
with a cheerful face”. [Sahih-al-Muslim].

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported : The Prophet ( )
said, “Whoever takes the money of the people with the intention of repaying it,
Allah will repay it on his behalf, and whoever takes it in order to spoil it, then
Allah will spoil him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

operational risk Board taking into account relevant guidelines of Bangladesh Bank. Policy guidelines on Risk Based
Internal Audit (RBIA) system is in operation. As per RBIA branches are rated according to their risk

segregated and there is at least dual control on every transaction to protect against operational
risk

v) Approach to calculating capital charge - Basic Indicator Approach is being used for calculating capital charge for operational risk as of the
for operational risk reporting date.

Stress Testing
Bangladesh Bank through their DOS Circular No. 01 dated 21.04.2010 and subsequent DOS Circular No. 01 dated 23.02.2012 introduced “Guidelines on
Stress Testing” wherein Stress Testing has been stated as one of the sophisticated technique that is used to determine the reactions of different financial
institutions under a set of exceptional, but plausible assumptions through a series of battery of tests. At institutional level, stress testing techniques provide
a way to quantify the impact of changes in a number of risk factors on the assets and liabilities portfolio of the institution.

Bangladesh Bank also mentioned in the said circular that at the system level, stress tests are primarily designed to quantify the impact of possible changes
in economic environment on the financial system. These tests help the regulators identify structural vulnerabilities and the overall risk exposure that could
cause disruption of financial markets.

Bangladesh Bank Circular No. 01 dated 23.02.2012 introduced “Guidelines on Stress Testing” wherein advised that “Banks shall carry out stress testing in
line with the revised guideline on quarterly basis i.e. on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and submitted the same to Bangladesh
Bank within 30 days of each quarter end”.

IBBL has already prepared a stress testing report in line with the Bangladesh Bank’s guidelines which initially focus on “Simple Sensitivity and Scenario
Analysis” of the following five risk factors.

• Profit/ Interest rate;

• Forced sale value of collateral;

• Non- performing Investments (NPIs);

• Equity/Share prices ; and

• Foreign Exchange rate

The result of stress testing based on the financial performance of the bank as on December 31, 2013 has also been completed which shows that the bank
has adequate capital to absorb minor and moderate individual shocks. However, some additional capital may be required under major level combined shocks,
which is most unlikely.

1. The agreements of investments and transactions executed by Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited during the year have
been made in accordance with the principles of Islamic Shari`ah. However some exceptions have been observed at the
implementation level as per Shari`ah inspection report.

2. Profit distributed to deposit accounts has been made in accordance with Islamic Shari`ah.

3. The income detected as doubtful as per Principles and Rules of Islamic Shari`ah has not been included in the distributable
income of the Bank.

4. The calculation of Zakat on the Zakatable asset of the Bank has been made in compliance with the rules and the
principles of Islamic Shari`ah. It is pertinent to state that Islami Bank does not pay Zakat on behalf of the depositors
and Shareholders. It is the responsibility of the Depositors and Shareholders to pay Zakat on their deposits and shares
respectively.

5. It is necessary to provide more Shari`ah training to the employees of the Bank and arrange more Shari`ah Awareness
Programs to make the clients aware regarding Shari`ah compliance.

6. The Rural Development Scheme (RDS) is a praiseworthy effort of IBBL for the welfare of the poor people of the country.
It is essential to take effective precautionary measures for ensuring Shari`ah compliance in this respect.

7. Different steps for improving Shari`ah Compliance like motivational programs, administrative measures and intensive
supervision to be strengthened by the management.

8. Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited is playing an appreciable role in the field of education, health and other welfare activities
apart from the banking operations. Such kind of programs should be expanded.

May Allah (SWT) bestow us with the best of Tawfique in gaining His satisfaction through implementing Shari`ah in every spheres
of our life. Ameen.

Annual Report 2014 169


Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Shareholders of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited and its subsidiaries
(the “Group”) as well as the separate financial statements of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (the “Bank”), which comprise
the consolidated and separate balance sheets as at 31 December 2014, 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 a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements and Internal Controls

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Group and also separate financial
statements of the Bank that give a true and fair view in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS)
as explained in note 2.1 and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated financial statements of the Group and also the separate financial statements of the Bank that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Bank Company Act, 1991 as amended 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.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial
statements of the Bank based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing
(BSA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of the
Bank are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group and separate financial statements of the Bank. The procedures selected depend on our
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements of the
Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Group
and the separate financial statements of the Bank that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements of the Group and also the separate financial statements of the Bank.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the Group and also the 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 2014, and of its consolidated and separate financial performance and its consolidated and separate cash flows for
the year then ended in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS) as explained in note 2.1.

and the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank, we also report the following:

2.1 Statement of compliance

The Bank and its subsidiaries are being operated in strict compliance with the rules of Islamic Shari’ah. The consolidated
and separate financial statements of the Bank have been prepared basically as per provisions of the “Guidelines for Islamic
Banking” issued by Bangladesh Bank through BRPD Circular No. 15 dated 09.11.2009 with reference to the provisions of the
Bank Company Act, 1991 as amended and by Bangladesh Bank BRPD Circular No.14 dated 25.06.2003 & Bangladesh Bank’s
other circulars/instructions and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted as Bangladesh
Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs) by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB); the Companies Act,
1994; the Securities and Exchange Rules, 1987; Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges’ Listing Regulations and other laws
and rules applicable in Bangladesh and Standards issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial
Institutions (AAOIFI), as a member of that organization.

In case the requirements of guidelines and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank differ with those of other regulatory authorities
and financial reporting standards, the guidelines and circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank prevails. As such the Bank has
departed from those requirements of BFRSs in order to comply with the rules and regulations of Bangladesh Bank which are
disclosed below:

186 Annual Report 2014


i) Provision on investments and off-balance sheet exposures

BFRS: As per BAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” an entity should start the impairment assessment
by considering whether objective evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant. For financial
assets that are not individually significant, the assessment can be performed on an individual or collective (portfolio) basis.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular No.14 dated 23 September 2012, BRPD circular No. 19 dated 27 December 2012, BRPD
circular No. 05 dated 29 May 2013 and BRPD circular No. 16 dated 18 November 2014 a general provision at 0.25% to 5% under
different categories of unclassified investments (good/standard investments) has to be maintained regardless of objective
evidence of impairment. Also provision for sub-standard, doubtful and bad & loss investments have to be provided at 20%, 50%
and 100% respectively (except short-term agricultural and micro-credits where 5% for sub-standard and doubtful investments
and 100% for bad & loss investments) depending on the duration of overdue. Again as per BRPD Circular No.14 dated 23
September 2012 and BRPD Circular No.19 dated 27 December 2012, a general provision at 1% is required to be provided for
all off-balance sheet exposures. Such provision policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by “BAS 39 “Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”.
ii) Recognition of investment income in suspense

BFRS: Investment to customers are generally classified as ‘loans and receivables’ as per BAS 39 “Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement” and investment income is recognised through effective interest rate method over the term of
the investment. Once an investment is impaired, investment income is recognised in profit and loss account on the same basis
based on revised carrying amount.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, once an investment is classified, investment income
on such investment are not allowed to be recognised as income, rather the corresponding amount needs to be credited to an
investment income in suspense account, which is presented as liability in the balance sheet.
iii) Investment in shares and securities

BFRS: As per requirements of BAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” investment in shares and
securities generally falls either under “at fair value through profit and loss account” or under “available for sale” where any
change in the fair value (as measured in accordance with BFRS 13) at the year-end is taken to profit and loss account or
revaluation reserve 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 recognised at cost.
iv) Revaluation gains/losses on Government securities

BFRS: As per requirement of BAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” where securities will fall under
the category of Held for Trading (HFT), any change in the fair value of held for trading assets is recognised through profit and
loss account. Securities designated as Held to Maturity (HTM) is measured at amortised cost method and interest income is
recognised 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 recognised 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. Profit on HFT securities including amortisation of discount are recognised in the profit and loss account.
HTM securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are amortised at the year end and gains or losses on
amortisation are recognised in other reserve as a part of equity.
v) Other comprehensive income

BFRS: As per BAS 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 will strictly be followed by all
banks. The templates of financial statements issued by Bangladesh Bank do not include Other Comprehensive Income 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.

Annual Report 2014 187


vi) Financial instruments - presentation and disclosure

In several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categorise, recognise, measure and present financial instruments differently from
those prescribed in BAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. As such full disclosure and presentation
requirements of BFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” and BAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” cannot be
made in the financial statements.

vii) Financial guarantees

BFRS: As per BAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, financial guarantees are contracts that require
an entity to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make
payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognised initially
at their fair value, and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the financial guarantee. The financial guarantee
liability is subsequently carried at the higher of this amortised amount and the present value of any expected payment
when a payment under the guarantee has become probable. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003, financial guarantees such as letter of credit, letter of guarantee will be
treated as off-balance sheet items. No liability is recognised for the guarantee except the cash margin.

viii) Balance with Bangladesh Bank: (Cash Reserve Requirement)

BFRS: Balance with Bangladesh Bank that are required to be kept as part of cash reserve requirement, should be treated as
other asset as it is not available for use in day to day operations as per BAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”.

Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank is treated as cash and cash equivalents.

ix) Cash flow statement

BFRS: 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 14 dated 25 June 2003 and BRPD 15 dated 09 November 2009, cash flow statement is to be
prepared following a mixture of direct and indirect methods.

x) Non-banking asset

BFRS: No indication of Non-banking asset is found in any BFRS.

Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003 and BRPD 15 dated 09 November 2009, there must exist a face item

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the consolidated and separate
financial statements of the Bank (together referred to as ‘financial statements’) except provision for investment which have
been changed due to new circular issued by Bangladesh Bank (Note 3.16.1).

Certain comparative amounts in the financial statements have reclassified and rearranged to conform to the current year’s
presentation.

3.1 Basis of consolidation

3.1.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are investees controlled by the Parent. The Parent ‘controls’ an investee if it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable
returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control
commences until the date that control ceases.

3.1.2 Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Inter-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction
gains and losses) arising from inter-company transactions are eliminated in preparing consolidated financial statements.
Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of
impairment. The investments in shares of subsidiaries held by the Bank in the separate financial statements are eliminated
against the corresponding share capital of subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements.

3.2 Foreign currency

3.2.1 Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies (Bangladeshi Taka in case of IBBL
Main Operations and US Dollar in case of OBU) at the spot exchange rates ruling at the date of transactions as per BAS 21
“The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”. Monetary assets and liabilities held in US Dollar at the reporting date are
retranslated into the functional currency in BDT at the weighted average revaluation rate of inter-bank market as determined
by Bangladesh Bank. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies at the reporting date are first
translated into US Dollar at buying rates of New York closing of the previous day and then retranslated from US Dollar into the
functional currencies in the same manner specified above.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to
the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign
currency that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign exchange differences (rates at which transactions were initially recorded and the rate prevailing on the reporting date/
date of settlements) of the monetary items are recognized in the profit and loss.

3.2.2 Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations (Note - 1.3) are translated to Bangladeshi Taka at spot exchange rates prevailing
at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at spot exchange rates at the date of
transactions as long as practicable otherwise average rate of exchange has been used. Foreign currency differences arising
on translation are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented directly in the foreign currency translation
reserve (translation reserve) in equity. If the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation
is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, then foreign currency differences arising on the item form part of the
net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation
reserve within equity.

failure of counter party to perform as per contractual agreement with the Bank. The failure may result from unwillingness or

appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Islami Bank Securities Limited as at December
31 2014, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting
