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)

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.
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.

The duty of the Shari`ah Supervisory Committee is to give independent opinion and necessary guidelines upon observing and
reviewing the activities of the Bank and the responsibility of the Bank is to ensure that the Bank conducts its business in accordance
with the rules and principles of Islamic Shari`ah.
The Shari`ah Supervisory Committee, after reviewing the Shari`ah inspection reports, audited reports i.e. Balance Sheet, Profit &
Loss Accounts and other financial statements of the Bank for the year 2014, gives the following opinions:
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.

judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements of the

the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated financial statements of the Group

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.

Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited and its Subsidiaries
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2014
1.1 Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (hereinafter referred to as “the Bank” or “IBBL”) was established as a Public Limited Banking
Company in Bangladesh in 1983 as the first Shari’ah based Scheduled Commercial Bank in the South East Asia. Naturally, its

All kinds of commercial banking services are provided by the Bank to the customers following the principles of Islamic Shari’ah,

authorities.
Islamic micro-finance represents micro-finance and the Islamic finance industry. Under Islamic micro-finance, major focus is

08.02.2011 at Head Office Complex Branch, Dhaka, and from 27.09.2011 at Agrabad Branch, Chittagong. Operations of OBU
located at Uttara Branch, Dhaka has not yet been started. Due to having different functional currency (Note 2.3), the operation
of OBU has been considered as “foreign operation” for reporting purposes and relevant financial reporting standards have been
applied accordingly (Note 3.2.2). The financial statements of the OBU are included in the separate financial statements of the
Bank and eventually in the consolidated financial statements. The sole financial statements of OBU are shown both in the
currency in which it operates (i.e. USD) and in the presentation currency of the Bank (i.e. BDT) in Annexure - E.
The share capital of Islami Bank Securities Ltd. is Tk. 2,700,000,000/- divided into 2,700,000 shares of Tk.1,000/ each out of
which share capital of IBBL is Tk.2,699,946,000/- divided into 2,699,946 shares of Tk.1,000/- each which represent 99.998% of
total share of the subsidiary Company.
IBSL was incorporated on 22.03.2010 and date of commencement of business was 23.05.2010. Required capital was
transferred to IBSL on 25.05.2010 which is operating business under the license issued by the Bangladesh Securities &

IBBL Exchange Singapore Pte. Ltd. has been incorporated in Singapore, as a subsidiary of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited for
remittance services and things incidental thereto under the Companies Act, CAP. 50 of the Republic of Singapore. Till 31 December
2014, no share capital of the subsidiary has been paid by its parent company i.e. Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited. Therefore, the
financial statements of IBBL Exchange Singapore Pte. Ltd has not been consolidated with that of the parent i.e. IBBL.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003 and BRPD 15 dated 09 November 2009, there must exist a face item
named Non-banking asset.
BFRS: An intangible asset must be identified and recognised, and the disclosure must be given as per BAS 38 “Intangible
Assets”.
Bangladesh Bank: There is no regulation for intangible assets in BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003 and BRPD 15 dated 09 November 2009.
BFRS: There is no concept of off-balance sheet items in any BFRS; hence there is no requirement for disclosure of off-balance
sheet items on the face of the balance sheet.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003 and BRPD 15 dated 09 November 2009, off balance sheet items (e.g.
Letter of credit, Letter of guarantee etc.) must be disclosed separately on the face of the balance sheet.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003 and BRPD 15 dated 09 November 2009, provision on investments are
presented separately as liability and can not be netted off against investments.
xiv) Revenue
As per BAS 18 “Revenue”, revenue should be recognized on accrual basis but due to the unique nature of Islamic Banks, income
from investment under Mudaraba, Musharaka, Bai-Salam, Bai-as-Sarf and Ujarah modes is accounted for on realization basis
as per AAOIFI and Bangladesh Bank guidelines.
The consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements of the Bank have been authorized for issue by the
Board of Directors on 21 March, 2015.
No new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) have been adopted by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of
Bangladesh (ICAB) as Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs) during the year that are effective for the first time
for the financial year 2014 that have a significant impact on the Companies and accordingly no new accounting standards have
been applied in preparing these financial statements.
Prior period adjustments, if any, to be recognized retrospectively as per BAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting
Estimates and Errors”. Accordingly during the year an adjustment was made regarding the elimination on consolidation of
the amount of placement to AD Branches by Off-shore Banking Unit (OBU) shown in the head titled “Mudaraba/Mudaraba
Documentary Bills” under investments. OBU started this type of placement from the year 2013 which was kept in a head
titled “Cover Fund MDB Investment Account” under other liabilities at AD Branches. As per BFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial
Statements”, all intra-company balances should be eliminated on consolidation. Since, this type of transaction and related
balances arose only in the year 2013, the adjustment was made retrospectively from the year 2013 and corrected in current year.
Due to the above prior period adjustments, investment and other liabilities have been adjusted by Tk.3,609,750,453 and
Tk.3,585,147,117 respectively for the year 2013. Net profit after tax has been adjusted by Tk.24,603,336 and accordingly
general reserve has been adjusted by the same amount of that year. The effect in Earnings per Share (EPS) was of Tk.0.015 per
share (restated) due to the above adjustments.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items:
- Land is recognized at cost at the time of acquisition and subsequently measured at fair value following revaluation model as
per BAS 16 “Property Plant & Equipment”.
- Investments in quoted shares are revalued at the year end at market price as per Bangladesh Bank circular.
The consolidated and separate financial statements of the Bank are presented in Bangladeshi Taka (Taka/Tk./BDT) which is
the functional currency of the Bank and its subsidiaries except Off-shore Banking Unit (OBU) where the functional currency is
US Dollar (USD).
All financial information presented in Taka has been rounded to the nearest integer, except otherwise indicated.
The preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the Bank in conformity with BFRSs require management
to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amount of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized
prospectively i.e. in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future period affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have
the most significant effect on the amounts recognized and presented in the consolidated and separate financial statements of
the Bank are included in following notes/statements:
Cash Flow Statement is prepared in accordance with BAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”, and as per “Guidelines for Islamic
Banking” issued by Bangladesh Bank through BRPD Circular No. 15 dated 09.11.2009 and BRPD Circular No.14 dated

Liquidity Statement has been prepared in accordance with the residual/remaining maturity of Assets and Liabilities as on 31

vii) Provisions and other liabilities are on the basis of their adjustment/settlement;
viii) Due to perpetual in nature/maturity, Mudaraba perpetual bond (MPB) is reported under maturity more than 5 (five)
years.
These financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries cover one calendar year from 01 January 2014 to 31 December
2014.
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.
3.1.1 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.
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.
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.
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.
Income from general investments is accounted for on accrual basis except for investments under Musharaka, Mudaraba,
Bai-Salam, Bai-as-Sarf and Ujarah (Khidmah Card) modes of Investment where the investment income is accounted for on
realization basis. The Bank does not charge any rent during the gestation period of investment against Hire Purchase under

expected rate of return. Such income is recognized on realization basis.
Profit/Rent/Compensation accrued on Classified Investments are suspended and accounted for as per circulars issued by
Bangladesh Bank in this regard from time to time. At the time of recovery or regularization of those investments the related

Deferred tax is recognized in compliance with BAS 12 “Income Taxes” and BRPD Circular no. 11 dated 12 December 2011,
providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary
differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of balance sheet.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset as there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and
they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the
deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each date of balance sheet and are reduced
to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

is actually the cost) and subsequently accounted for depending on their classification as either held to maturity, fair value
through profit or loss, or available for sale.
Investment in Bangladesh Government Islamic Investment Bond (BGIIB) is measured both initially and subsequently at cost, which
is also the fair value.
IBBL can not invest in interest-based government securities like T-bond, T-bill etc. So the instructions and circulars related to
accounting for those instruments are not applicable for the Bank.
Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the entity
has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and which are not designated as at fair value through profit or loss or as

Items of fixed assets excluding land and building are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment losses. Land and building is recognized at cost at the time of acquisition and subsequently measured at revalued
amounts which is the fair value at the time of revaluation done by independent valuer and any surplus on revaluation is shown
as equity component until the disposal of asset, as per BAS 16 “Property, Plant & Equipment” and Bangladesh Bank BCD
Circular Letter No. 12 & 18 dated 20 April 1993 & 15 June 1993 respectively and BRPD Circular No.10 dated 25 November 2002
& BRPD Circular No.09 dated 31 December 2008. Deficit arising on subsequent revaluation is adjusted against the balance in
the Revaluation reserve account. Revaluation is carried out with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount of
assets does not differ materially from their fair value.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of assets. The cost of self-constructed assets
includes the following:
- the cost of materials and direct labour;
- any other cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for the intended use;
- when the Companies have an obligation to remove the asset or restore the site, an estimate of the costs of dismantling
and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; and
- capitalized borrowing costs.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalized as part of that equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of fixed assets (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal
and the carrying amount of the item) is recognized in profit or loss.
Subsequent costs is capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the costs will flow
to the entity. Ongoing repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred.
3.10.3 Depreciation
Items of fixed assets are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use, and in respect of internally
constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use.
Depreciation is calculated to write-off the cost/revalued amount of items of fixed assets less their estimated residual values
using either of straight-line method (SLM) or reducing balance method (RBM) over their estimated useful lives and recognized
in profit and loss. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated rate of depreciation for the current and comparative years of fixed assets are as follows:
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
An intangible asset is recognized if it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow
to the entity and the cost of the assets can be measured reliably. Intangible assets is amortized using the straight line method
over the estimated useful life of 4 (four) years.
Fixed assets that is being under construction/acquisition is accounted for as capital work in progress until construction/
acquisition is completed and measured at cost. The work in progress is transferred to cost of that fixed assets when the
construction is completed and it becomes available for use.

An item of fixed assets is derecognized upon disposal or when no economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any
gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

from the court regarding the right and title of the mortgaged property.
The carrying amounts of the non-financial assets, other than investment property and deferred tax assets, if any are reviewed
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s
recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit
(CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. All intangible assets having infinite useful life, if any are tested for impairment at least
annually.
Deposit and other accounts include Al Wadeeah current deposit as well as savings, term and other Mudaraba deposits. Deposits
by customers and banks are recognized when the Bank enters into contractual agreements with the counterparties. These
items are brought to Financial Statements at the gross value of the outstanding balance.
As per Mudaraba principle, agreement between the Mudaraba depositors and the Bank, the Mudaraba depositors are entitled to
get minimum 65% of the investment income earned through deployment of Mudaraba Fund as per weightage assigned to each
type of Mudaraba deposit. In the year 2014, IBBL paid 71.48% of Investment Income earned through deployment of Mudaraba
Fund. In some Mudaraba Deposits, additional rate was allowed over the rate derived as per weightage. Mudaraba Depositors do
not share any income derived from various banking services where the their fund is not involved and any income derived from

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions to a separate entity
and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plan
are recognized as personnel expense in profit or loss in the periods during which related services are rendered by employees.
The Bank maintains one funded defined contribution plan for its employees - Provident fund.
The Provident Fund is for the regular and confirmed employees who works for a minimum period of 5(five) years at IBBL and
it came into force with effect from 1st day of March 1986. The fund receives contributions @ 10% of the basic pay both from
employees and employer.
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Bank’s net obligation
in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that
employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The Bank has two funded defined benefit
plans - Gratuity fund and Superannuation fund.
The Gratuity Fund for the regular and confirmed employees of IBBL was established on 1st day of March 1986. The employees
who serve at least 7 (seven) years at IBBL are normally entitled to get gratuity equivalent to 1(one) month’s basic pay. Employees
served for minimum 12 years get 1.5 (one and a half) months’ basic pay and employees served for 20 years get 2 (two) months’
basic pay. Adequate contributions have been made as per the recommendation of actuarial valuation report and our analysis
during the year. Actuarial valuation of the gratuity fund was conducted up to the year 2014 by professional actuary which
shows sufficient amount of surplus fund available at the valuation date.
The Fund came into force with effect from the 19 June, 2008. It was established for financial help to the members of the IBBL
Employees’ Superannuation Fund and their families in case of retirement, death, physical disability of employee while in service
or of any incidence of like nature acceptable to the Board of Trustees and retirement from the service. During the year 2014,
Tk.20.00 million has been provided by the Bank to the Fund. Actuarial valuation of the superannuation fund was conducted
up to the year 2014 by professional actuary which shows sufficient amount of surplus fund available at the valuation date.
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is
provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Companies has a present legal or constructive
obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Other employee benefits include which are not included in short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits and other
termination benefits.

As per Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 as amended in 2013 all companies fall within the scope of WPPF (which includes Bank)
are required to provide 5% of its profit before charging such expense to their eligible employees within the stipulated time. The
Bank obtained opinion from its legal advisor regarding this issue which stated that the Bank is not required to make provision

As such the Bank did not make any provision during the year for WPPF.
3.18.1 Capital
Authorized Capital is the maximum amount of share capital that the Bank is authorized to raise as per its Memorandum and

embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, is considered as contingent liability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized but disclosed in the financial statements unless possibility of an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits is reliably estimated. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements as this
may result in the recognition of income which may never be realized.
Off-balance sheet items are disclosed under Contingent liabilities & other commitments and required provision on Off-balance
sheet exposures have been made in accordance with Bangladesh Bank guidelines (Note 3.16.1).
The Bank presents basic and diluted (when dilution is applicable) earnings per share (EPS) for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS
is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Bank with the weighted average number
of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the effect of change in number of shares for bonus issue, share
split and reverse split. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. However,
dilution of EPS is not applicable for these financial statements as there was no dilutive potential ordinary shares during the
relevant periods. Hence no Diluted EPS has been calculated. Consolidated basic EPS has also been calculated and presented
in the same manner.

Department of Off-site Supervision (DOS) of Bangladesh Bank issued Circular No.-02 dated 15 February 2012 on Risk
Management Guidelines for Banks and instructed all scheduled banks operating in Bangladesh to follow this Guidelines for
managing various risks which have been complied by the Bank.

inspects the implementation status of these guidelines and as per the reports of Bangladesh Bank, IBBL is well compliant in
Core Risk Management activities.
In line with instruction of Bangladesh Bank, IBBL formed a Risk Management Wing (RMW) to formulate risk assessment and

indicated in the guidelines prescribed by Bangladesh Bank. Necessary steps/measures are taken on the basis of observations
& suggestions of the Committee.
The Audit & Inspection Division conducts investigations against complaints received from customers, anonymous persons,
management & others and submits the reports to the competent authority. Periodical Inspection reports of Zonal Heads,
Shari’ah Inspections & Branch Manager’s self Audit are also reviewed by the Division regularly and necessary guidances and

(3) Monitoring Division
i) Assesses the risk of the functional areas of the Branches described in the Departmental Control Function Checklist (DCFCL)
and determines the frequency of Audit/Inspection of the branches based on the gravity of risks involved.
ii) Monitors the Internal Control Functions through the Quarterly Operations Report (QOR) and other mechanisms.
Foreign Exchange Risk is the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital arising from adverse movements in currency
exchange rates. The Bank is exposed to profit rate risk and settlement risk on account of its foreign exchange business. Foreign
Exchange business includes trading of foreign currencies relating to import, export, remittances and other ancillary services.
IBBL is dealing with a substantial volume of foreign trade and remittance business of the country which exposes the Bank to
foreign exchange risk. IBBL has adopted foreign exchange risk manual through which the foreign exchange operations are
dealt with.
Foreign Exchange risks are measured and monitored by the Treasury Division. Treasury Division consists of separate Front
Office, Back Office and Mid Office. The Treasury Front Office (Dealing Room) independently performs the deals and the Treasury
Back Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of their entries in the books of account.
The Foreign Exchange Risk is minimized through proper market analysis, real time pricing of Foreign Exchange, fixation of
different market related limits (daylight, overnight, stop loss and management action trigger) and counter parties credit limits
set by the management and ensure adherence to the limits by the Treasury Front Office. All Foreign Exchange transactions are
revalued at weighted average exchange rate as provided by Bangladesh Bank at the end of each month. All Nostro Accounts
are reconciled regularly and outstanding entries are reviewed by the management for its settlement/recompilation. The open
position maintained by the bank at the end of the day remains within the stipulated limit prescribed by the Bangladesh Bank.
Investment (Credit) risk is one of the major risks faced by the Bank. This can be described as potential loss arising from the
failure of counter party to perform as per contractual agreement with the Bank. The failure may result from unwillingness or
inability of the counter party in discharging his / her financial obligation. Therefore, Bank’s Investment (Credit) risk management
activities have been designed to address all these issues. IBBL has designed its own operational manuals for each modes
and products. It has also designed its own investment risk management guideline which is compatible with the regulatory
guideline and islamic modes of finance. There is a dedicated committee namely “Investment Risk Management Committee”
which periodically reviews the operational manuals and risk management guidelines and ensures compliance of the same.
The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Bank monitors balance sheet risk, liquidity risks, investment deposit ratio (IDR),
deposit mix, investment mix, gap analysis etc. under the leadership of MD & CEO of the Bank. Asset Liability Committee
(ALCO) reviews liquidity requirement of the Bank, the maturity of assets and liabilities, deposit and investment pricing strategy,
sensitivity of assets and liabilities, management indicators/ratios and the liquidity contingency plan. The primary objective of
the ALCO is to monitor and avert significant volatility in Net Investment Income (NII), investment value and exchange earnings.
Money Laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for being negligent in prevention
of money laundering. For mitigating the risks, the Bank has formed 05(five) members Central Compliance Unit (CCU) under
the leadership of the Chief Anti Money Laundering Compliance Officer (CAMLCO) at Head Office. Anti Money Laundering
Compliance Units are also functioning at Zonal Offices and Branches, where the transactions of the accounts are independently
reviewed to verify Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs). A Manual for prevention of money laundering was developed and
approved by the Board of Directors. IBBL has introduced (a) Uniform Account Opening Form (AOF), (b) Know Your Customer
(KYC) Profile and (c) Transaction Profile (TP) in the Bank as per instructions of Bangladesh Bank. IBBL had already issued 6
(six) instruction circulars and 11 (eleven) circular letters providing necessary instructions for Prevention of Money Laundering
activities and also for combating of Financial Terrorism.
Moreover, IBBL had conducted a good number of training sessions/workshops to create awareness and development of the
skill of the officials for identifying suspicious transactions. IBBL introduced a Policy Guideline to combat terrorist financing in
the light of Anti Terrorism Act (Amendment) Act, 2012 coupled with the Money Laundering Prevention Act- 2012 approved by
the Board of Directors of the Bank.
IBBL has exclusively completed the KYC procedures of Legacy Accounts (accounts opened before 30 April 2002). To establish
fruitful Anti Money Laundering drive at branch level, IBBL introduced AML Rating systems such as excellent/good/satisfactory/
marginal through self Assessment Report & Independent Testing Procedure as per instruction of Bangladesh Bank.
The Bank has adequately addressed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk Management. It is an in-depth
exercise and continual process. The (ICT) Risk Management exercise mainly includes minimizing financial and image loss to
the institution in all events such as natural disasters, technological failures, human errors etc. The Bank uses own developed
Core Banking Software to perform all types of transactions including local/ online/ internet in a secured way. To take care of
its core banking system, a separate security module has been incorporated in the software which manages different roles/
privileges for different users. All financial transactions can be tracked for future audit purposes.
The Bank uses Central Data Centre to replicate transactions in branches in case of data failure or inconsistencies. Data
travelling through network uses encryption and decryption mechanism.
In line with the Bangladesh Bank directives, the Bank has approved its own ICT policies for its operations and services. Under
these policy guidelines, a security policy has also been worked out. To abide by and adhere to what is laid down in the policy; the
implementation has been made through Active Directory Services (ADS), Password Policy, Kerberos Policy, Audit Policy, Group
Policy, User Rights, Permission Policy etc. In order to secure network resources from public network, the Bank has introduced
Virtual Private Network (VPN), Access Control List (ACL), IP filtering and TCP/UDP service blocking through router and firewall
devices. It has already centralized the administrative control to access the network, mailing system and internet. IBBL has
introduced Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for its entire network and trained the officials to cope up with any contingencies.
Internal Audit is used as an important element to ensure good governance of IBBL. Internal Audit activity of IBBL is effective
and it provides senior management with a number of important services. These include detecting and preventing fraud, testing
internal control, and monitoring compliance with own policies & procedures, applicable rules & regulations, instructions/
guidelines of regulatory authority etc.
During the year 2014, Audit Division of Internal Control & Compliance Wing conducted inspection on most of the Branches/
Divisions of Head Office of the Bank and submitted reports presenting the findings of the audits/ inspections. Necessary control
measures and corrective actions have been taken on the suggestions or observations made in these reports. The reports or
key points of the reports have also been discussed in the meetings of the Audit Committee of the Board and necessary steps
have been taken according to the decision of the said Committee for correct functioning of Internal Controls & Compliance.
Fraud means wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. It will never be possible to eliminate
all frauds and no system is completely fraud proof, since many fraudsters are able to bypass control systems put in place.
IBBL continuously pays attention to implement and improve the anti-fraud internal controls for prevention of fraud and forgery.
IBBL assesses /evaluates the effectiveness of its Anti-Fraud Internal Control measures on quarterly basis as per the items/
areas mentioned in the prescribed checklist of Bangladesh Bank. During the year 2014, 5 (five) incidents of fraud at 4 (four)
different branches have been detected by the Bank and it has duly been reported to Bangladesh Bank. The Bank has already
made adequate provision in this regard.

ISLAMI BANK SECURITIES LIMITED was incorporated on the 22 March 2010 under the Companies Act, 1994 as a public limited company.
It is a subsidiary company of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) that holds all the shares of the company except 54 (Fifty four) shares
being held by six individual shareholders. The registered office of the company is situated at 20, Dilkusha, C/A in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
On behalf of the Board
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Bangladesh Financial
Reporting Standards (BFRS) 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.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depended on the auditor’s judgment, including the risks assessment of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. 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 financial statements.
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 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
