We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Southeast Bank Limited and its subsidiaries (the
"Group") as well as the separate financial statements of Southeast Bank Limited (the "Bank"), which comprise
the consolidated and separate Balance sheet as at 31 December 2018 and the consolidated and separate
statement of profit and loss, consolidated and separate statements of changes in equity and consolidated and
separate cash flow statements for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated and separate financial
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group and separate financial
statements of the Bank give a true and fair view of the consolidated Balance sheet of the Group and the
separate Balance sheet of the Bank as at 3l December 2018 and of its consolidated and separate statement of
profit and loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporling
Standards (IFRSs) as explained in note 2 to 3.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (lSAs). Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated
and Separate Financial Statements section of our report. We remained independent of the Group and the Bank

In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Group's and the Bank's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group
and the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's and the Bank's financial reporting
process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated and separate
financial statements
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
r Identify and assess the risksof material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that
are
o Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and
o Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content ofthe consolidated and separate financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated and separate financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible
for our audit opinion.

2 Basis of preparation
The Financial Reporting Act, 2015 (FRA) has been enacted in 2015. Under the FRA, the Financial Reporting
Council (FRC) is to be formed and it is to issue financial reporting standards for public interest entities such as
banks. Section 38 of the Bank Companies Act, 1991 (amended upto 2013) has been replaced in 2015 by two
new sub-sections to require banks to prepare their financial statements under such financial reporting standards.
The FRC is yet to be formed and as such no financial reporting standards have been issued as per the
provisions of the FRA. Hence, considering Section 69 of FRA, the consolidated financial statements of the Bank
and its subsidiaries and the separate financial statements of the Bank as at and for the year ended 31 December
2018 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and the
requirements of the Bank Companies Act, 1991 (amended upto 2018) , the rules and regulations issued by
Bangladesh Bank (BB), the Companies Act, 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules, 1987, The Income Tax
Ordinance, 1984, The Value Added Tax, 1991. In case any requirement of the Bank Companies Act, 1991 and
provisions and circulars issued by BB differ with those of IFRSs, the requirements of the Bank Companies Act,
1991 and provisions and circulars issued by BB shall prevail. Material departures from the requirements of
IFRSs are as follows:
IFRS: As per requirements of IFRS 9: classification and measurement of investment in Share and Securities will
depend on how these are managed (the entity’s business model) and their contractual cash flow characteristics.
Based on these factors it would generally fall either under “at fair value through profit and loss account” or under
“at fair value through other comprehensive income” where any change in the fair value (as measured in
accordance with IFRS 13) at the year-end is taken to profit and loss account or other comprehensive income
respectively.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 investments in quoted shares and
unquoted shares are revalued at the year end at market price and as per book value of last audited balance
sheet respectively. Provision should be made for any loss arising from diminution in value of investment.
IFRS: Government securities refer primarily various debt instruments which include both bonds and bills. As per
requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, bonds can be categorised as “Amortised Cost (AC)” or “Fair Value
Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)” or “Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)”. Bonds
designated as Amortised Cost are measured at amortised cost method and interest income is recognised
through profit and loss account. Any changes in fair value of bonds designated as FVTPL is recognised in profit
and loss account. Any changes in fair value of bonds designated as FVOCI is recognised in other reserve as a
part of equity.
As per requirements of IFRS 9, bills can be categorised either as “Fair Value Through Profit or Loss (FVTPL)” or
“Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI)”. Any change in fair value of bills is recognised in
profit and loss or other reserve as a part of equity respectively.
Bangladesh Bank: HFT securities are revalued on the basis of mark to market and at year end any gains on
revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are recognized in other reserves
as a part of equity and any losses on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet
date are charged in the profit and loss account. Interest on HFT securities including amortization of discount are
recognized in the profit and loss account. HTM securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date
are amortized at the year end and gains on amortization are recognized in other reserve (loss are recognized in
profit and loss account) as a part of equity .
21
iii) Provision on loans and advances
IFRS: As per IFRS 9 Financial Instruments an entity shall recognize an impairment allowance on loans and
advances based on expected credit losses. At each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment
allowance for loans and advances at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on
these loans and advances has increased significantly since initial recognition, whether assessed on an individual
or collective basis, considering all reasonable information (including that which is forward-looking). For those
loans and advances for which the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, at each
reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance at an amount equal to 12 month expected
credit losses that may result from default events on such loans and advances that are possible within 12 months
after reporting date.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 16 dated 18 November 2014, BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23
September 2012, BRPD circular no. 19 dated 27 December 2012 and BRPD circular no. 05 dated 29 May 2013
a general provision at 0.25% to 5% under different categories of unclassified loans (good/standard loans) has to
be maintained regardless of objective evidence of impairment. Also provision for sub-standard loans, doubtful
loans and bad/losses has to be provided at 20%, 50% and 100% respectively for loans and advances depending
on the duration of overdue. Again as per BRPD Circular No.10 dated 18 September 2007 and BRPD Circular
No. 14 dated September 23, 2012, the Bank is required to maintain provision @ 1% against Off-Balance Sheet
Exposures. Such provision policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by IAS 39. BRPD Circular no.
1 dated 20 February, 2018 General Provision for Housing Finance under Consumer Financing.
However, if there is any stay order issued by the Honorable High Court Division of the Supreme Court of
Bangladesh against any non-performing loans for reporting such loans as unclassified category, the Bank
maintains at least general provision for such loans under unclassified loan category as per Bangladesh Bank
guidelines. Where Bangladesh Bank suggests any additional provision to be maintained for such loans, the
Bank also complies with that.
IFRS: Loans and advances to customers are generally classified at amortised cost as per IFRS 9 and interest
income is recognised in profit and loss account by using the effective interest rate method to the gross carrying
amount over the term of the loan. Once a loan subsequently become credit-impaired, the entity shall apply the
effective interest rate to the amortised cost of these loans and advances.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, once a loan is classified, interest
on such loans is not allowed to be recognized as income, rather the corresponding amount needs to be credited
to an interest in suspense account, which is presented as liability in the balance sheet.
IFRS: As per IAS 1 Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) is a component of financial statements or the elements
of OCI are to be included in a Single 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 nor are the elements of Other Comprehensive Income allowed to be included in a single
Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) statement. As such the Bank does not prepare the OCI statement.
However, elements of OCI, if any, are shown in the statements of changes in equity.
In several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categories, recognize, measure and present financial instruments
differently from those prescribed in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Hence some disclosure and presentation
requirements of IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation,
cannot be made in this financial statements
22
vii) Repo and reverse repo transactions
IFRS: As per IFRS 9 when an entity sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to
repurchase the asset (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (repo or stock lending), the
arrangement is accounted for as a deposit, and the underlying asset continues to be recognized in the entity’s
financial statements. This transaction will be treated as loan and the difference between selling price and
repurchase price will be treated as interest expense.The same rule applies to the opposite side of the transaction
(reverse repo).
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD guidelines, when a bank sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into
an agreement to repurchase the asset (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (repo or stock
lending), the arrangement is accounted for as a normal sales transactions and the financial assets are
derecognized in the seller’s book and recognized in the buyer’s book.
IFRS: As per IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, 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 term of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognized initially
at their fair value, and the initial fair value is amortized over the life of the financial guarantee. The financial
guarantee liability is subsequently carried at the higher of this amortized amount and the loss allowance
determined as expected credit loss under IFRS 9. Financial guarantees are prescribed to be included within
other liabilities.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, financial guarantees such as L/C, L/G will be treated as Off-Balance Sheet
items. No liability is recognized for the guarantee except the cash margin.
IFRS: Cash and cash equivalent items should be reported as cash item as per IAS 7.
Bangladesh Bank: Some cash and cash equivalent items such as ‘money at call and on short notice’, Treasury
bills, Prize bonds are not shown as cash and cash equivalent. Money at call and on short notice presented on
the face of the balance sheet, Treasury bills and Prize bonds are shown in Investments.
x) Non-banking assets
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, there must exist a face item named non-banking assets.
IFRS: As per IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, Cash Flow Statement can be prepared using either in direct
method or in 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, cash flow is the mixture of direct and indirect method.
IFRS: Balance with Bangladesh Bank should be treated as other asset as it is not available for use in day to day
operations as per IAS 7.
Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank is treated as cash and cash equivalents.
23
xiii) Presentation of intangible asset
IFRS: Intangible asset must be identified and recognized, and the disclosure must be given as per IAS 38.
Bangladesh Bank: There is no requirement for regulation of intangible assets in BRPD 14.
IFRS: There is no concept of off-balance sheet items in any IFRS; hence there is no requirement of disclosure of
off-balance sheet items on the face of the balance sheet.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, off balance sheet items (e.g. Letter of credit, Letter of guarantee etc.) must
be disclosed separately in face of balance sheet.
IFRS: There is no requirement to show appropriation of profit in the face of statement of comprehensive income.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, an appropriation of profit should be disclosed in the face of profit and loss
account.
IFRS: As per IFRS 9, loans and advances/Investments should be presented net of provision.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, provision on loans and advances are presented separately as liability and
cannot be netted off against loans and advances.
IFRS: As per IAS 1, an entity shall not offset assets and liabilities or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by any IFRS. Again recovery of written off loans should be charged to profit & loss account as per
IFRS 15.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14, recoveries of amount previously written off should be adjusted with the
specific provision for loans and advances.
i) Internal control
The objective of internal control is to ensure that management has reasonable assurance that (i) operations are
effective, efficient and aligned with strategy, (ii) financial reporting and management information is reliable,
complete and timely accessible, (iii) the entity is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations as well as its
internal policies and ethical values including sustainability and (iv) assets of the company are safeguarded and
frauds & errors are prevented or detected.
Southeast Bank Limited has established an effective internal control system whose primary aim is to ensure the
overall control of risks and provide reasonable assurance that the objectives set by the Bank will be met. It has
designed to develop a high level compliance culture among the personnel of the Bank, establish efficient and
qualified operating model in the Bank, ensure reliability of internal and external information including accounting
and financial information, secure the Bank’s operations and assets, and comply with laws, regulatory
requirements and internal policies.
24
The Board of Directors of Southeast Bank Limited, through its Audit Committee, periodically reviews the
effectiveness of Bank’s internal control system covering all the material controls, including financial, operational
and compliance controls, risk management systems, the adequacy of resources, qualifications and experience of
staff of the accounting and financial reporting functions. Board Audit Committee reviews the actions taken on
internal control issues identified by the internal and external auditors and regulatory authorities. It has active
oversight on the internal audit’s independence, scope of work and resources and it also reviews the functions of
Internal Control & Compliance Division of Head Office, particularly the scope of the annual audit plan and
frequency of the internal audit activities.
Banking business faces uncertainties in its operating environment, which, if not managed and mitigated, would
not only disrupt the achievement of its strategic and operational objectives, but may also cause extensive
financial and reputational loss. Effective risk management enables Banks to take better and informed decisions
that substantially improve the probability of achieving their strategic and operational objectives. In this
connection, the Bank has come forward to establish a general framework to manage the risk factors considering
Bangladesh Bank’s guidelines.
As one of the leading Banks in Bangladesh, Southeast Bank Limited (SEBL) has established approved policies
in compliance with central bank’s guidelines covering major risk areas such as: (a) Credit (b) Foreign Exchange
(c) Asset Liability Management (d) Money Laundering Prevention (e) Internal Control & Compliance (f)
Information and Communication Technology.
For strengthening and updating risk management system, the Bank has developed a manual for core risks
assessment in light of the Bangladesh Bank’s Risk Management Guidelines. The purpose of this assessment is
to inform management about the loopholes of full fledged implementation of core risks management, risk
management culture, restructure minimum standard and assist in the ongoing improvement.
Risk Management Reports (RMR) are being prepared on monthly, quarterly and semiannually basis and is
reviewed in the monthly risk management meeting to have management opinion on the issues identified in RMR.
Internal audit mechanism is used as an important element to ensure good governance of SEBL. Internal audit
activity of SEBL is effective and it provides senior management with a number of important services. These
include detecting and preventing errors and fraud, testing internal control and monitoring compliance with own
policies & procedures, applicable rules & regulations, instructions/ guidelines of regulatory authority etc.
During the year 2018, Audit & Inspection Unit of ICCD conducted inspection on most of the branches and some
of the important divisions of head office of the Bank as per plan and submitted reports presenting the findings of
the audits/ inspections to the appropriate authorities. The bank conducted the risk grading of branches as per
Bangladesh Bank guideline. Necessary control measures and corrective actions have been taken on the
suggestions or observations made in these reports. The 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 of the Bank.
Fraud can happen anywhere. Though, only relatively few major frauds are picked up by the media, huge sums
are lost by all kinds of businesses against huge number of smaller frauds. The risks of fraud is increasing day by
day as a result of growing globalization, more competitive markets, rapid developments in technology, periods of
economic difficulty, etc. Banks by virtue of the nature of activities undertaken and its operating environment are
vulnerable to frauds, which take place when aggressive business strategy and process for quick growth is
adopted without adequate/appropriate internal controls or non-adhering of operating standards/ controls. In the
recent past, incidence of frauds in the Banking industry has increased which calls for concerted steps in
investigating the frauds and identifying the fraudsters for eventual criminal prosecution and internal punitive
action.
25
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. SEBL pays attention on anti-fraud internal controls for
prevention of fraud and forgery. SEBL 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.
The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:
- Government Treasury Bills and Bonds designated as 'Held for Trading (HFT)' at present value using
marking to market concept with gain crediting revaluation reserve
- Government Treasury Bills and Bonds designated as 'Held to Maturity (HTM)' and remeasured
Government Treasury Bond at present value using amortisation concept
- Investment in shares of listed companies
- Land and buildings are measured at fair value
These financial statements are presented in Bangladesh Taka (Taka/Tk) which is the Bank's functional currency.
Except as otherwise indicated, financial information presented in Taka has been rounded to the nearest integer.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with Bangladesh Bank circulars and IFRSs requires
management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts 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
recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting
policies that have the most significant effect in the year ended 31 December 2019 is included in the following
notes:
a) Note 3.3.3 : Rate of provision for loans, advances/investments
b) Note 3.3.4 : Useful lives of depreciable assets
c) Note 21.3.2 : Provision for deferred tax
d) Note 24 : Assets revaluation reserve
These financial statements cover one calendar year from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018.

issued by the Banking Regulation & Policy Department of Bangladesh Bank.
The Statement of changes in equity reflects information about the increase or decrease in net assets or wealth.
The consolidated and separate liquidity statement of assets and liabilities as on the reporting date has been
prepared on residual maturity term which has been given in the statement.
Consolidated liquidity statements of the Group and the separate liquidity statements of the Bank have been

26
3 Significant accounting policies
The accounting policy set out below have applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated
financial statements of the Group and those of the Bank, and have been applied consistently by the group
entities.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Southeast Bank Limited and its four
subsidiaries Southeast Bank Capital Services Limited, Southeast Financial Services (UK) Ltd, Southeast
Financial Services (Australia) Pty Ltd and Southeast Exchange Company (South Africa) Pty Ltd made up to the
end of the financial year.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date; i.e. when
control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity
so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential
voting rights that are currently exercisable.
● if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the
acquiree; less
● the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships.
Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Transactions costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs
in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
For each business combination, the Group elects to measure any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either:
● at fair value; or
● at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, which are generally at fair value.
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as
transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Adjustments to non-controlling interests are based on a
proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.
Subsidiaries are the entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Intra-group balances, and income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising
from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised
losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of
impairment.
27
3.2 Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the
spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the
functional currency at the spot exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated into the functional currency at the spot
exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of
transaction.
Foreign currency differences arising on translation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising
on translation of equity investments in respect of which an election has been made to present subsequent
changes in fair value in equity.
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on
acquisition, are translated into Taka at spot exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of
foreign operations, are translated into Taka at average exchange rates.
Foreign currency differences are presented in the foreign currency translation reserve in equity. However, if the
operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share of the translation difference is
allocated to the non-controlling interest.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor
likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are
considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation and presented in the translation reserve in
equity.
Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins on hand, unrestricted balances held with Bangladesh Bank
and its agent bank, balance with other banks and financial institutions, money at call and on short notice,
investments in treasury bills and prize bond.
3.3.2 Investments
All investment securities are initially recognised at cost, including acquisition charges associated with the
investment. Premiums are amortised and discounts are accredited.
Held to Maturity
Investments which have, 'fixed or determinable payments' and are intended to be held to maturity are classified
as 'Held to Maturity'.
Re-measured bond
As per DOS circular letter no. 2 dated 19 January 2012, Treasury bond held in HFT category by the Primary
Dealer (PD) may be re-measured at amortized cost instead of fair value.
Revaluation
As per the DOS Circular letter no. 5 dated 26 May 2008, HFT securities are revaluated each week using
Marking to Market concept and HTM securities are amortised once a year according to Bangladesh Bank
guidelines.
28
Value of investments has been shown as under:
Government Treasury Bills and Bonds (HFT) At present value (using marking to market concept)
Government Treasury Bills and Bonds (HTM) At present value (using amortisation concept)
Re-measured Government Treasury Bonds At present value (using amortisation concept)

29
3.3.4 Fixed assets and depreciation
Items of fixed assets excluding land are measured at cost/revaluation less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Land is measured at revaluation.
Cost includes expenditure that are directly attributable to the acquisition of asset and bringing to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the intended manner.
When parts of an item of fixed asset have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major
components) of fixed assets.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of fixed asset is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal
with the carrying amount of the item of fixed asset, and is recognised in other income/other expenses in profit or
loss.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a component of an item of fixed assets is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it
is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be
measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day
servicing of fixed assets are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on reducing balance method, except motor vehicles which are
depreciated on straight line basis, over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of fixed assets since
this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the
asset. In case of acquisition of fixed assets, depreciation is charged from the month of acquisition, whereas
depreciation on disposed off fixed assets is charged up to the month prior to the disposal. Asset category-wise
depreciation rates for the current and comparative years are as follows:
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each reporting date and adjusted, if
appropriate.
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance leases. Upon initial recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its
fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is
accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Other leases are operating leases and are not recognised in the Group’s Balance Sheet.

3.4 Liabilities and basis of their valuation
Borrowings from other banks, financial institutions and agents includes refinance from Bangladesh Bank against
agro-based credit, SME Loan etc., interest-bearing borrowings against securities from Bangladesh Bank and call
borrowing from other banks. These items are brought to financial statements at the gross value of the
outstanding balance. Details are shown in notes 16 and 17.
Deposits and other accounts include non interest-bearing current deposit redeemable at call, interest bearing on
demand and short-term deposits, savings deposit and fixed deposit. These items are brought to financial
statements at the gross value of the outstanding balance. Details are shown in notes 18 and 19.
Other liabilities comprise items such as provision for loans and advances/investments, provision for taxation,
interest payable, interest suspense, accrued expenses, obligation under finance lease etc. Other liabilities are
recognised in the balance sheet according to the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank, Income Tax Ordinance, 1984
and internal policy of the Bank. Details are shown in notes 20 and 21.
Authorised capital is the maximum amount of share capital that the Bank is authorised by its Memorandum and
Articles of Association.
Paid up capital represents total amount of shareholder capital that has been paid in full by the ordinary
shareholders. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are
entitled to vote at shareholders’ meetings. In the event of a winding-up of the Bank, ordinary shareholders rank
after all other shareholders and creditors and are fully entitled to any residual proceeds of liquidation. Details are
shown in note 22.2.
Statutory reserve has been maintained @ 20% of profit before tax in accordance with provisions of section 24 of
the Bank Companies Act 1991, until such reserve equals to its paid up capital together with the share premium.
Revaluation reserve arises from the revaluation of land and buildings as well as the revaluation of Treasury bills
and bonds (HFT & HTM) in accordance with the DOS circular no. 5 dated 26 May 2008 and DOS(SR)
1153/120/2010 dated 8 December 2010. The tax effects on revaluation gain are measured and recognised in the
financial statements as per IAS 12: Income Taxes .
31
3.6 Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is -
A possible obligation that arises from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Bank; or
A present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because:
- it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation; or
- the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but disclosed in the financial statements unless the possibility of an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is reliably estimated.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements as this may result in the recognition of income
which may never be realised.
Interest on loans and advances is calculated on daily product basis and accrued at the end of each month, but
charged to customers' accounts on quarterly basis. Interest accrued on loans and advances fall under Sub
Standards (SS) and Doubtful (DF) category are credited to interest suspense account instead of income
account. Interest is not charged on bad and loss loans as per guideline of Bangladesh Bank. Such interest is
kept in separate memorandum account. Interest on classified loans and advances is accounted for on a cash
receipt basis. Interest income from fixed deposit with other banks and call lending to other banks is recognized
on accrual basis.
Mark-up on investment is taken into income account proportionately from profit receivable account. Overdue
charge/compensation on classified investments is transferred to profit suspense account instead of income
account.
Income on investments is recognised on accrual basis. Investment income includes discount on treasury bills
and interest on treasury bonds. Capital gain on investments in shares is also included in investment income.
Capital gain is recognised when it is realised.
The Bank earns fees and commissions from diverse range of services provided to its customers. Fees and
commission income is recognised on a realisation basis. Commission charged to customers on letters of credit
and letters of guarantee are credited to income at the time of effecting the transactions.
Profit shared to mudaraba deposits is recognised on accrual basis as per provisional rate.
3.10 Dividends
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive income is established. Usually this is the ex-dividend
date for equity securities. Dividends are presented in investment income.
32
3.11 Lease payments
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease.
Lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of
the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce
a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Provident fund benefits are given to the staff of the Bank in accordance with the registered provident fund rules.
The commissioner of Income Tax, Large Tax Payers Unit (LTU), Dhaka has approved the Provident Fund as a
recognized fund within the meaning of section 2(52) read with the provisions of part - B of the First Schedule of
Income Tax Ordinance 1984. The fund is operated by a Board of Trustees consisting of 6 (six) members of the
Bank. All confirmed employees of the Bank are contributing 10% of their basic salary as subscription of the fund.
The Bank also contributes equal amount to the fund. Contributions made by the Bank are charged as expense
and the bank bears no further liability. Interest earned from the investments is credited to the members' account
on half yearly basis. Members are eligible to get both the contribution after 5 (five) years of continuous service
from the date of their membership.
Gratuity fund benefits are given to the staff of the Bank in accordance with the approved gratuity fund rules.
National Board of Revenue has approved the gratuity fund as a recognized gratuity fund with effect from
December 2001. The fund is operated by a Board of Trustees consisting of 7 (seven) members of the Bank.
Employees are entitled to gratuity benefit after completion of minimum 7 (seven) years of service in the Bank.
The amount payable at the date of balance sheet is recognised and accounted for as at that date based on
actual rate. The gratuity is calculated on the basis of last basic pay and is payable at the rate of one month's
basic pay for every completed year of service. The amount so calculated are transferred to the fund and charged
to expenses of the Bank.
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the
related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash
bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group 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.
As per Bangladesh Labour Act 2006 and SRO no. 336/Law/2010, all companies fall within the scope of WPPF
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. The legal advisor opined
that, "Southeast Bank Limited being governed by Banking Companies Act, 1991 is obliged to follow the
provisions of Banking Companies Act, 1991, and Banking Companies Act, 1991 being a special law, provisions
of this Act shall prevail over Bangladesh Labour Laws, 2006 (amended in 2013) which is a general law. Thus,
we take the view that the Bank is not bound to form a WPPF under Bangladesh Labour Laws, 2006 (amended in
2013)". Consistent with the industry practice and in accordance with the legal opinion and the Bank Company
Act, 1991 (amended in 2013), no provision has been made for WPPF.
In compliance with IAS-37, provisions and accrued expenses are recognized in the consolidated and separate
financial statements when the Group/Bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past event, it is
probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can
be made of the amount of the obligation.
33
3.14 Provision for Off-Balance Sheet Exposures
In compliance with Bangladesh Bank guidelines off-balance sheet items are disclosed under contingent
liabilities. As per BRPD Circular No.10 dated 18 September 2007 and BRPD Circular No. 14 dated 23
September 2012 and BRPD Circular no. 13 dated 18 October 2018, the Bank is required to maintain provision @
1% against off-balance sheet exposures. Details are shown in note 21.5.1 (C).
According to guideline of Foreign Exchange Policy Department of Bangladesh Bank, Circular No. FEOD
(FEMO)/01/2005-677 dated 13 September 2005, Bank is not required to make provision regarding the un-
reconciled debit balance as at Balance Sheet date since there was no debit entries more than three month.
Tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not
recognised for the following temporary differences:
● temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a
business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
● temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will
not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
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 reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
against current tax assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable
entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their
tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred
tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the
related tax benefit will be realised.
Deferred tax relating to unrealised surplus on revaluation of held to maturity (HTM) securities and held for trading
(HFT) securities and land and buildings are recognised directly in revaluation reserve as a part of equity and is
subsequently recognised in profit and loss account on maturity of the security and disposal of land and buildings.
Details are shown in note 21.3.2.
34
3.16.3 Tax exposures
In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Bank takes into account the impact of uncertain tax
positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. This assessment relies on estimates and
assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available
that causes the Bank to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to
tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s and the Bank's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, 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 recognised if the carrying amount
of an asset or its Cash Generating Unit (CGU) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset or CGU.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the
smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the
cash inflows of other assets or CGU.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs) and then to
reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the
loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the
asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
The Group and the Bank present basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic
EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group/ Bank by the
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. 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, which comprise share options granted
to employees.
Books of accounts with regard to inter-bank (in Bangladesh and outside Bangladesh) are reconciled regularly
and there are no material differences which may affect the financial statements significantly.
Un-reconciled entries in case of inter-branch transactions as at the reporting date are not material.

3.20 Risk management
Effective risk management is an essential element of our operations and strategy. The Bank monitors risk at all
levels throughout its operations and has established units to manage various types of risk. Our risk management
framework is designed to identify, manage and mitigate the risk of any failure to achieve business objectives.
The risk management of the Bank covers following six core risk areas:
i) Credit Risk
ii) Foreign Exchange Risk
iii) Asset Liability Management Risk
iv) Money Laundering Risk
v) Internal Control & Compliance Risk; and
vi) Information and Communication Technology Risk
The Bank’s risk management policy and process are composed with all the structures, policies, process and
strategies in line with the guidelines of central bank and other regularity authorities. The Bank endeavors to
maximize profits through the development of an integrated risk management system.
Credit risk is the possibility that a borrower or counter party will fail to repay the borrowed money as per the
agreed terms and conditions. Managing Credit risk of the Bank in an efficient manner has become one of the
most crucial tasks for the management. Given the fast changing, dynamic global economy, implementation of
Basel-III and the increasing pressure of globalization and liberalization it is essential that banks have robust
credit risk management policies and procedures that are sensitive and responsive to these changes.
A thorough assessment & due diligence are done before sanctioning any credit facility at Credit Risk
Management Division (CRM) of the Bank. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial
analysis, industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security of the proposed credit facilities and
various critical risk factors. The assessment process starts at Branch Credit department by the Officer and ends
at Credit Risk Management Division (CRM) in Head Office where it is approved / declined by the competent
authority. Credit approval authority has been partially delegated to the individual executives. Proposal beyond
their delegation are approved / declined by the Board / Executive Committee (EC) of the Board.
Foreign exchange risk is the exposure of an institution to the potential impact of movements in foreign exchange
rates. The risk is that adverse fluctuations in exchange rates may result in a loss in earnings. As per the
guidelines of Bangladesh Bank, Southeast Bank Limited has developed a detailed Foreign Exchange Risk
Management policy to minimize different types of risks associated with foreign exchange transactions. The Bank
has also developed different strategies to handle foreign exchange risk by setting different types of limits and risk
parameters to measure and monitor foreign exchange risk exposure of the Bank.
The Foreign Exchange Desk of Treasury Division is involved in foreign exchange dealing activities with different
counterparty banks. The Treasury Back Office is engaged in transfer of funds and passing of the transaction
entries in the books of accounts; the Mid Office is responsible for verification of the deals. All foreign exchange
assets and liabilities are revalued at market rate as per the directive of Bangladesh Bank. All nostro accounts are
reconciled on a monthly basis and outstanding entries beyond 30 days are reviewed by the management for its
settlement.
Banks are exposed to the several risks such as Liquidity Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Foreign Exchange Risk, Credit
Risk and Operational Risk etc. Monitoring and controlling these risks are vital to the survival of a financial
institution. Asset-Liability Management is a tool to oversee whether different balance sheet risks are properly
identified, appropriate policies and procedures are well established to control and limit these risks.
Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO) reviews country’s overall economic position, the Bank’s liquidity position, key
performance ratios, interest rate risk, deposit and advance growth, cost of deposit & yield on advances, deposit
& lending pricing strategy and different forecasted balance sheet risks of the Bank.
36
3.20.4 Money Laundering Risk
Money laundering is the generic term used to describe the process by which criminals disguise the original
ownership and control the proceeds of criminal conduct by making such proceeds appear to have derived from a
legitimate source. If money laundering is done successfully, it allows the criminals to maintain control over their
proceeds and ultimately to provide a legitimate cover for their source of income. Drug traffickers, the terrorists,
the organized criminals, the insider dealer, the tax evaders as well as many others who intend to avoid the
attention from the authorities of their sudden wealth brought from illegal activities take the help of money
laundering. By engaging in this type of activity it is hoped to place the proceeds beyond the reach of any asset
forfeiture laws.
Southeast Bank Limited (SEBL) has implemented an enterprise-wide AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and CFT
(Combating the Financing of Terrorism) compliance program, which covers all the activities of the Bank and is
reasonably designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations. It is the policy of SEBL to take all
reasonable and appropriate steps to prevent persons engaged in money laundering, fraud, or other financial
crime, including the financing of terrorists or terrorist operations, from utilizing SEBL products and services.
SEBL makes every effort to remain in full compliance with all applicable AML and CFT laws, rules and standards
in the jurisdictions in which it does business.
In order to facilitate compliance with AML and CFT requirements, SEBL has appointed one of its Senior
Executives as the CAMLCO (Chief Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer) and a team of employees with
experience on AML and CFT requirements under law to oversee the Bank's AML and CFT program. SEBL has
developed and implemented written AML and CFT policies, procedures, internal controls and systems, which
include (but not limited to) a customer identification program and procedures; procedures to collect and refresh,
as appropriate, customer due diligence information; processes to assess risk; processes and systems to monitor
customer transactions and activity; processes and systems to identify and report suspicious activity; and,
processes to keep required records. SEBL educates its all employees on AML and CFT requirements and
activities and also subjects its AML and CFT program to regular independent testing. SEBL cooperates fully with
law enforcement and regulatory investigations and inquiries in identifying the criminals involve in Money
Laundering and Terrorist Activities/Financing.
Internal control is fundamental to the successful operation and day-to-day running of a business and it assists
the bank in achieving its business objectives. It encompasses all controls incorporated into the strategic,
governance and management processes, covering the bank’s entire range of activities and operations, and not
just those directly related to financial operations and reporting. Its scope is not confined to those aspects of a
business that could broadly be defined as compliance matters, but extends also to the performance aspects of a
business.
SEBL has established a System of Internal Control, which is designed to manage all the risks of failure to a
reasonable level, achieve aims and objectives/goals of the Bank and this System provides reasonable
assurance of effective & efficient operations covering all controls including financial & operational controls,
reliability of the financial information, compliance with applicable laws & regulations, adherence to management
policies, safeguarding of Bank’s Assets, prevention & detection of fraud & errors, and accuracy & completeness
of the accounting records.
The Board of Directors of SEBL regularly reviews the effectiveness of internal control process through its Audit
Committee and the Audit Committee plays an effective role amongst the Board of Directors, Management,
Shareholders, Depositors and develops an efficient, powerful and a safe banking system. The committee also
performs a very important role for publishing Bank’s financial statements, developing an appropriate internal
control system and maintains an effective communication with internal and external auditors. It significantly
contributes in controlling and monitoring various risks factors that arise from the business activities of the Bank.
Board Audit Committee reviews the actions taken on internal control issues identified in the reports prepared by
the internal & external auditors and regulatory authorities. It has active oversight on the internal audit’s
independence, scope of work and resources and it also reviews the functions of Internal Control & Compliance
Division of Head Office, particularly the scope of the annual audit plan and frequency of the internal audit
activities.
37
3.20.6 Information and communication technology
The Bank has Centralized Core Banking Software (CBS)and providing online banking services to its clients
through 136 Branches across the country. The Bank is also offering 24/7 banking services through its different
delivery channels, like Internet Banking, ATM and Mobile Financial Service (MFS). Besides, the Bank has
introduced Recycler ATM in the brand name of “SEBL Instant Banking Service.” Through this service, customers
are able to deposit cash on a real time basis other than cash withdrawal facility. SMS and E-Mail Alert services
are available for any debit/credit transaction through online and Internet Banking or using Bank’s Debit / Credit
Card as a deterrent against fraudulent transaction attempts. The Bank has established its Far DC (Data Center)
at Jessore as it falls under different seismic zone as part of its business continuity plan (BCP) as well as for
compliance of ICT Security Guideline of Bangladesh Bank. Data synchronization in near real time basis has
been established through fiber optic cables from main DC to near DC (Disaster Recovery Site at Uttara) and
again main DC to far DC at Jessore to ensure availability of data in any catastrophic situation.
The Bank has further reviewed its ICT Security and ICT Risk Management Policies and related internal
processes for strengthening security of information assets from internal and external threats. Gradual
implementation of the different policies is being carried out. Several sessions were conductedon ICT Security
and Risk for the employees of the Bank to build awareness and minimize ICT related risks in banking operation.
Environmental and Social risk is assessed by E&S due diligence (ESDD) checklists. It is a set of questionnaire
provided by Bangladesh Bank. The purpose of the E&S due diligence is to review any potential E&S risks
associated with the business activities of a potential client ensure that the transaction does not carry
E&S risks, which could present a potential liability/risk to the Bank. The ESDD checklists (both generic and
sector specific) will auto generate the E&S risk ratings – high, medium and low based on the responses provided
to the questions in the checklist.
Potential E&S risks may not seem significant or relevant at the time of approval of a financial
transaction, but may become so during execution, for instance as a result of higher regulatory
standards and increased levels of enforcement. In other cases, E&S risks, such as spills or explosions, may
seem unlikely to occur, but when they do, the E&S impact is potentially extremely high. Therefore, to identify
Environment and Social (E&S) risks along with appropriate risk mitigation measures, Environment & Social Risks
Management must be integrated with the Credit Risk Management of the bank.

A. IFRS 16 Leases
As per IFRS 16 Lease, a lease is a contract (or part of a contract) that conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases
by the lessee as either finance leases or operating leases. IFRS 16 requires a lessee to recognise a “right-of-
use” of the underlying asset and a lease liability reflecting future lease payments for most leases. For lessors,
IFRS 16 retains most of the requirements in IAS 17. Lessors continue to classify all leases as either operating
leases or finance leases and account for them differently. The Bank is reviewing all of the Company’s leasing
arrangements in light of the new lease accounting rules in IFRS 16.
As per the BRPD circular No.6 dated 5 July 2006, the bank has done its credit rating by Credit Rating

3.23 Correspondence items
Correspondence items are maintained to have control over all items of importance and for such transactions
where the Bank has only a business responsibility and no legal commitment. Stock of travelers cheques, savings
certificates, wage earners bond and others fall under the correspondence items.
3.24 Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only
when, the Group and the Bank have a legal right to set off the recognised amounts and it intends either to settle
on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted under IFRSs, or for gains and losses
arising from a group of similar transactions such as in the Group’s trading activity.
The Group and the Bank have no identified operating segment and as such presentation of segmental reporting
is not made in the financial statements as per IFRS 8. However, geographical and business segments wise
limited disclosures are furnished in Annexure-I.
These financial statements have been prepared on the assessment of the Bank’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The Bank has neither any intention nor any legal or regulatory compulsion to liquidate or curtail
materially the scale of any of its operations. The key financial parameters (including liquidity, profitability, asset
quality, provision sufficiency and capital adequacy) of the Bank continued to exhibit a healthy trend for couple of
years. Besides, the management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon
the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements were approved by the board of directors on 30 April 2018.

21.3.2 Deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the assets will be realised or the liabilities
settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted, by the balance sheet date. Following are the descriptions for each individual item of
the deferred tax that are recognised by the Bank as a temporary difference with expected time of realisation.
Buildings are depreciable assets. Its revalued carrying amount will be recovered through use and this will generate taxable income
which exceeds the depreciation that will be allowable for tax purposes in future periods. As a result taxable temporary difference
will arise.
Accounting depreciation is not tax allowable expenses. Rather, the tax office will allow tax depreciation as per 3rd Schedule of the
Income Tax Ordinance 1984. Hence a temporary difference arises due to the different depreciation rates and methodology
against which the Bank recognizes deferred tax. This is an ongoing item as there is a difference between the tax depreciation rate
and the accounting depreciation rate. However, the outstanding amount of deferred tax will be automatically released with the
expiry of the economic useful life of the assets.
Deferred tax relating to unrealised interest on the revaluation of Held to Maturity (HTM) and Held for Trading (HFT) securities is
recognised directly in other reserves as a part of equity and is subsequently recognised in the profit and loss account on maturity
of the securities. The deferred tax recognised against this will be fully reversed at the maturity of all related securities.
