Overview of IAS 1
3.01 Key features of IAS 1: IAS 1 includes guidance on the meaning of present fairly and emphasizes that the application of IFRS is presumed to achieve a fair presentation. It requires departure from a standard in very rare circumstances where compliance would be misleading (except where not permitted by the relevant regulatory framework).
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 The contents of a complete set of financial statements are specified and there is a general requirement for comparatives. Criteria for the classification of assets and liabilities as current/ non-current are defined. A choice is given as to the presentation of the balance sheet between separating current and non-current assets and liabilities, and presenting assets and liabilities in order of their liquidity (or in reverse order of liquidity) without a current/non-current distinction. Liquidity presentation of assets and liabilities is required only when it provides a more relevant and reliable presentation. The standard specifies minimum items on the face of the balance sheet and minimum items on the face of the income statement. Additional items may be needed to comply with another standard or to present fairly the entity's financial position or when such presentation is relevant to an understanding of the entitys financial performance. Disclosure of extraordinary items is prohibited. An analysis of expenses, either by nature or by function, should be given either on the face of the income statement or in the notes. A statement of changes in equity is to be presented although this requirement may be met in various ways. Disclosure in the notes is required of accounting policies followed, information required by other IAS, narrative descriptions or detailed analyses of items shown on the face of the financial statements, and other disclosures necessary for an understanding and fair presentation of the financial statements. Judgments of estimations and key assumptions concerning the future that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year must be disclosed.
3.02 Key impact on Bangladeshi companies: Income statement headings under IAS 1 are less detailed than in the Companies Act formats IAS 1 describes two classifications for expenses (nature and function) which equate to Companies Act formats 1 and 2. There is more flexibility over balance sheet formats than permitted by the Companies Act formats. There is no equivalent under IFRS of the requirement in FRS 3 to disclose the effects of acquisitions. IAS 1 goes further than FRS 18 in respect of the disclosure of judgments made in the application of accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty. There are some differences in the definitions of current assets and current liabilities. For example, a liability will be classified as current when it is expected to be settled in the entitys normal operating cycle, even if it is not due to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date. IAS 1 does not use the term exceptional item and, in particular has no equivalent of the FRS 3 paragraph 20 items which are shown below operating profit. But there is a requirement for separate disclosure of material items of income and expense. Companies wishing to show operating profit would need to include in it items such as reorganization and restructuring costs. The statement of recognized gains and losses and reconciliation of movements in shareholders funds are combined into a single statement of changes in equity under IAS 1. But the statement of changes in equity is not a performance statement and, therefore, amounts reported in certain cases are required to be recycled to the income statement.
3.03 Summary of IAS 1:Objective
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 The objective of IAS 1 (revised 1997) is to prescribe the basis for presentation of general purpose financial statements, to ensure comparability both with the entity's financial statements of previous periods and with the financial statements of other entities. IAS 1 sets out the overall framework and responsibilities for the presentation of financial statements, guidelines for their structure and minimum requirements for the content of the financial statements. Standards for recognizing, measuring, and disclosing specific transactions are addressed in other Standards and Interpretations.
Scope
Applies to all general purpose financial statements based on International Financial Reporting Standards. General purpose financial statements are those intended to serve users who do not have the authority to demand financial reports tailored for their own needs.
Objective of Financial Statements
The objective of general purpose financial statements is to provide information about The financial position, Financial performance, and Cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions. To meet that objective, financial statements provide information about an entity's: Assets. Liabilities. Equity. Income and expenses, including gains and losses. Other changes in equity. Cash flows. That information, along with other information in the notes, assists users of financial statements in predicting the entity's future cash flows and, in particular, their timing and certainty.
Components of Financial Statements
A complete set of financial statements should include: A statement of financial position at the end of the period, A statement of comprehensive income for the period, A statement of changes in equity for the period Statement of cash flows for the period, and Notes, comprising a summary of accounting policies and other explanatory notes. When an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements, or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements, it must also present a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period. An entity may use titles for the statements other than those stated above. Reports that are presented outside of the financial statements -- including financial reviews by management, environmental reports, and value added statements -- are outside the scope of IFRSs.
Fair Presentation and Compliance with IFRSs
The financial statements must "present fairly" the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity. Fair presentation requires the faithful representation of the effects of transactions, other events, and conditions in accordance with the definitions and recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, income and expenses set out in the Framework. The application of IFRSs, with additional disclosure when necessary, is presumed to result in financial statements that achieve a fair presentation. IAS 1 requires that an entity whose financial statements comply with IFRSs make an explicit and unreserved statement of such compliance in the notes. Financial statements shall not be described as complying with IFRSs unless they comply with all the requirements of IFRSs (including Interpretations).
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Inappropriate accounting policies are not rectified either by disclosure of the accounting policies used or by notes or explanatory material. IAS 1 acknowledges that, in extremely rare circumstances, management may conclude that compliance with an IFRS requirement would be so misleading that it would conflict with the objective of financial statements set out in the Framework. In such a case, the entity is required to depart from the IFRS requirement, with detailed disclosure of the nature, reasons, and impact of the departure.
Going Concern
An entity preparing IFRS financial statements is presumed to be a going concern. If management has significant concerns about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, the uncertainties must be disclosed. If management concludes that the entity is not a going concern, the financial statements should not be prepared on a going concern basis, in which case IAS 1 requires a series of disclosures.
Accrual Basis of Accounting
IAS 1 requires that an entity prepare its financial statements, except for cash flow information, using the accrual basis of accounting.
Consistency of Presentation
The presentation and classification of items in the financial statements shall be retained from one period to the next unless a change is justified either by a change in circumstances or a requirement of a new IFRS.
Materiality and Aggregation
Each material class of similar items must be presented separately in the financial statements. Dissimilar items may be aggregated only if the are individually immaterial.
Offsetting
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Assets and liabilities, and income and expenses, may not be offset unless required or permitted by a Standard or an Interpretation.
Comparative Information
IAS 1 requires that comparative information shall be disclosed in respect of the previous period for all amounts reported in the financial statements, both face of financial statements and notes, unless another Standard requires otherwise. If comparative amounts are changed or reclassified, various disclosures are required.
Reporting Period
There is a presumption that financial statements will be prepared at least annually. If the annual reporting period changes and financial statements are prepared for a different period, the enterprise must disclose the reason for the change and a warning about problems of comparability.
Structure and Content of Financial Statements in General
Clearly identify: The financial statements The reporting enterprise Whether the statements are for the enterprise or for a group The date or period covered The presentation currency The level of precision - thousands, millions, etc.
Balance Sheet
An entity must normally present a classified balance sheet, separating current and noncurrent assets and liabilities. Only if a presentation based on liquidity provides information that is reliable and more relevant may the current/noncurrent split be omitted. In either case, if an asset (liability) category commingles amounts that will be received (settled) after 12 months with
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 assets (liabilities) that will be received (settled) within 12 months, note disclosure is required that separates the longer-term amounts from the 12-month amounts. [IAS 1.52] Current assets are cash; cash equivalent; assets held for collection, sale, or consumption within the enterprise's normal operating cycle; or assets held for trading within the next 12 months. All other assets are noncurrent. [IAS 1.57] Current liabilities are those to be settled within the enterprise's normal operating cycle or due within 12 months, or those held for trading, or those for which the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer payment beyond 12 months. Other liabilities are noncurrent. [IAS 1.60] Long-term debt expected to be refinanced under an existing loan facility is noncurrent, even if due within 12 months. [IAS 1.64] If a liability has become payable on demand because an entity has breached an undertaking under a long-term loan agreement on or before the balance sheet date, the liability is current, even if the lender has agreed, after the balance sheet date and before the authorization of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach. [IAS 1.65] However, the liability is classified as non-current if the lender agreed by the balance sheet date to provide a period of grace ending at least 12 months after the balance sheet date, within which the entity can rectify the breach and during which the lender cannot demand immediate repayment. [IA 1.66] Minimum items on the face of the balance sheet [IAS 1.68] Property, plant and equipment; Investment property; Intangible assets; Financial assets (excluding amounts shown under (e), (h) and (i)); Investments accounted for using the equity method; Biological assets; Inventories;
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Trade and other receivables; Cash and cash equivalents; Trade and other payables; Provisions; Financial liabilities (excluding amounts shown under (j) and (k)); Liabilities and assets for current tax, as defined in IAS 12; Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, as defined in IAS 12; Minority interest, presented within equity; and Issued capital and reserves attributable to equity holders of the parent. Additional line items may be needed to fairly present the entity's financial position. [IAS 1.69] IAS 1 does not prescribe the format of the balance sheet. Assets can be presented current then noncurrent, or vice versa, and liabilities and equity can be presented current then noncurrent then equity, or vice versa. A net asset presentation (assets minus liabilities) is allowed. The long-term financing approach used in UK and elsewhere fixed assets + current assets - short term payables = long-term debt plus equity is also acceptable. Regarding issued share capital and reserves, the following disclosures are required: [IAS 1.76] Numbers of shares authorized, issued and fully paid, and issued but not fully paid Par value Reconciliation of shares outstanding at the beginning and the end of the period Description of rights, preferences, and restrictions Treasury shares, including shares held by subsidiaries and associates Shares reserved for issuance under options and contracts A description of the nature and purpose of each reserve within owners' equity
Income Statement
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 In the 2003 revision to IAS 1, the IASB is now using "profit or loss" rather than "net profit or loss" as the descriptive term for the bottom line of the income statement. All items of income and expense recognized in a period must be included in profit or loss unless a Standard or an Interpretation requires otherwise. Minimum items on the face of the income statement should include: Revenue; Finance costs; Share of the profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method; A single amount comprising the total of (i) the post-tax profit or loss of discontinued operations and (ii) the post-tax gain or loss recognized on the disposal of the assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued operation; and; Tax expense; and Profit or loss. The following items must also be disclosed on the face of the income statement as allocations of profit or loss for the period: Profit or loss attributable to minority interest; and Profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the parent. Additional line items may be needed to fairly present the enterprise's results of operations. No items may be presented on the face of the income statement or in the notes as "extraordinary items". Certain items must be disclosed either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, if material, including: Write-downs of inventories to net realizable value or of property, plant and equipment to recoverable amount, as well as reversals of such write-downs;
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Restructurings of the activities of an entity and reversals of any provisions for the costs of restructuring; Disposals of items of property, plant and equipment; Disposals of investments; Discontinuing operations; Litigation settlements; and Other reversals of provisions. Expenses should be analyzed either by nature (raw materials, staffing costs, depreciation, etc.) or by function (cost of sales, selling, administrative, etc.) either on the face of the income statement or in the notes. [IAS 1.88] If an enterprise categorizes by function, additional information on the nature of expenses -- at a minimum depreciation, amortization, and staff costs -- must be disclosed.
Cash Flow Statement
Rather than setting out separate standards for presenting the cash flow statement, IAS 1.102 refers to IAS 7, Cash Flow Statements
Statement of Changes in Equity
IAS 1 requires an entity to present a statement of changes in equity as a separate component of the financial statements. The statement must show: Profit or loss for the period; Each item of income and expense for the period that is recognized directly in equity, and the total of those items; Total income and expense for the period (calculated as the sum of (a) and (b)), showing separately the total amounts attributable to equity holders of the parent and to minority interest; and For each component of equity, the effects of changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors recognized in accordance with IAS 8.

Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes must: Present information about the basis of preparation of the financial statements and the specific accounting policies used; Disclose any information required by IFRSs that is not presented on the face of the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, or cash flow statement; and Provide additional information that is not presented on the face of the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, or cash flow statement that is deemed relevant to an understanding of any of them. Notes should be cross-referenced from the face of the financial statements to the relevant note. IAS 1.105 suggests that the notes should normally be presented in the following order:
A statement of compliance with IFRSs; A summary of significant accounting policies applied, including: [IAS 1.108]
o the measurement basis used in preparing the financial statements; and o The other accounting policies used that are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements.

o o
contingent liabilities and unrecognized contractual commitments; and Non-financial disclosures, such as the entity's financial risk management objectives and policies.

Business Risk
a) Credit Risk Credit Risk is the probability of failure of a borrower or counterparty to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms causing a loss of all or part of the replacement value of ongoing contracts. Default signals an inability or unwillingness of the borrower to fulfill its obligations. The goal of credit risk management is to maximize a Bank's risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining credit risk exposure within acceptable levels. The effective management of credit risk is a critical component of a comprehensive approach to risk management and essential to the long-term success of any banking organization. The Basel Committee is encouraging Banks to promote sound practices for managing credit risk. Following are the prerequisites of the credit risk management structure: Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 (i) Establishing an appropriate credit risk monitoring environment, (ii) Operating under a sound credit-granting process, (iii) Maintaining an appropriate credit administration, measurement and monitoring process, & (iv) Ensuring adequate controls over credit risk. The sound credit risk management practices focus on the following key elements/ processes:
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 (i) Identification of risks, (ii) Analysis of risks (qualitative & quantitative), (iii) Response planning, & (iv) Continuous Monitoring and Control. IAS 1.110 b) Operational Risk Operational Risk is the risk of loss arising from the potential that inadequate information system, technology failures, breaches in internal controls, fraud, unforeseen catastrophes, or other operational problems may result in unexpected losses or reputation problems. Failure to understand and manage this risk may greatly increase the possibility that some risks will go unrecognized and uncontrolled.

Its back office desks are responsible for deal verification limit monitoring and settlement of transactions separately. The Bank continuously revalued all foreign exchange positions at market rate as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank. All Nostrum Accounts are timely reconciled and all outstanding entries are reviewed on a regular basis. ii) Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk arises from the unanticipated change in interest rate that may adversely affect the earnings of bank and / or net worth. The more rate sensitive assets and liability the bank has
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 the more it is exposed to its interest rate risk. The interest rate risk is measured from earning perspective and the economic value perspective. The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of the bank monitors the interest rate movement on a regular basis and takes effective measure to minimize the interest rate risk. iii) Investment Risk Investment risk arises from movement in market value of investment in equities held. The risks are monitored by Investment Division under a well designed policy framework.
Liquidity Risk

Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Respected Shareholders Assalamu A'Iaikum. I, on behalf of the Board of Directors would like to share the success of National Bank Limited during 2008.1 warmly welcome you to the 26th Annual General Meeting of the Bank. Starting the journey on March 23, 1983, the Bank within a span of 26 years has turned into one of the biggest private sector banks in the country having 106 branches and assets over Tk. 72,212 million. This is the result of the prudent policies and farsighted decisions taken by the board, active support from shareholders, depositors, borrowers, other clients and well-wishers, a strong regulatory framework and team work by the efficient executives. During the year, the Bank has not only made good profit, but also it has enhanced its image further. NBL has now established itself as a local financial institution with international corporate culture, state-of-the art systems, flawless process, superior business ethics, strong control & compliance, good governance, visionary & dynamic leadership, commendable market & product depth and strong financials. NBL is now regarded as a local brand having regional and global potential. Our customers are increasingly placing their trust on us. This would not have been possible without the strong commitment of our personnel who have set a very high standard of service, which goes to promote our image with our customers as well as the entire business community. The world economy that registered an unprecedented average growth of 5 percent a year for consecutive four years is now entering a major downturn in the face of the most severe shock in mature financial markets since 1930. The major advanced economies are already in recession while a number of emerging and developing countries are under inflationary pressure. Despite such difficult conditions, the Bank had another excellent year of successful performance. The Bank earned a profit before tax of Tk. 2,828.80 million for 2008, a growth of Tk. 793.70 million or 39 percent, over the normalized profit before tax for 2007. The Bank's profit after tax and provision for 2008, at Tk. 1,517.40 million reflected an even stronger growth of 22.51 percent or Tk. 1,238.10 million, over the normalized profit after Bank's revenue was Tk. 8,893.10 million, which was up by Tk. 1,710.50 million or 23.81 percent. The bank's total loans and advances portfolio was Tk.49, 665.10 million at the end of December 2008 compared to Tk.36, 475.70 million at the end of December 2007. The deposit base of the bank registered a growth of 25.51 percent in the reporting year over the last year and stood at Tk. 60,195.20 million in December 2008. This was achieved with better management of interest margins in volatile market conditions and adequate Balance Sheet growth during the period. Being a regular tax payer, we have made a direct contribution to Government Exchequer
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 of Tk. 761.70 million in the calendar year 2008 against Tk. 449.70 million in previous year registering a staggering growth of 69.38percent. The measures we are using to siege the market share comprises of shifting towards developing and expanding the SME financing, Any Branch Banking, Off-shore Banking facilities, etc. In addition we are further expanding our presence through opening new branches. In 2008, we have opened 5 new branches and plan to open 15 new branches and 10 SME centers in2009. National Bank, has now acquired strength and expertise to support the banking needs of the foreign investors. NBL stepped into a new arena of business and opened its Off Shore Banking Unit at Mohakhali to serve the wage earners and the foreign investors better than before. National Bank, since its inception, was aware of complying with Corporate Social Responsibility. In this direction, we remain associated with the development of education, healthcare and sponsored sports, and culture and during the times of natural disasters like floods, cyclones, landslides we have extended our hand to mitigate the sufferings of victims. The bank established the National Bank Foundation in 1989 to remain involved with social welfare activities. The foundation is running the NBL Public School & College at Moghbazar where present enrolment is 1140. Besides awarding scholarship to the meritorious children of the employees, the bank has also extended financial support for their education. It provided financial support to Asiatic Society of Bangladesh at the time of their publication of Bangla pedia and observance of 400years of Dhaka City. Besides financial help to various organizations, the bank has also been sponsoring sports like Badminton, Football, Volleyball, Shooting and Golf. NBL has also played a major role in the health sector by creating a provision of a Harmon dialysis machine at the BIRDEM Hospital. In addition to the regular social activities the bank has been extending credit facility without collaterals at a lower rate to the entrepreneurs having small capital and to the women folk to make them self reliant. With a view to develop the socio-economic condition of the country the bank is expanding its credit in the SMEsector.NBL has been extending agri-credit jointly with Barind Multipurpose development Authority to the marginal farmers of Barind area of Rajshahi since 1993 with a view to increase agri-output. The project has changed the socio-economic conditions of the farmers for 2007. In 2008andhas made ecological improvement of the area through massive tree plantation. Instant action for extending agri-loan for marginal farmers, taking a pilot project in the Beverly affected Sirajgonj district immediately after the devastating flood of 2007 saved the farmers from setback. Tremendous success of the project led its expansion not only in the
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Sirajgonj district, but also, in other areas of the country. In dearth of capital, growth of weaving industry, the traditional heritage of our country is being hampered. NBL has stepped forward by extending credit to save the industry. We express our abhorrence at the recent gruesome killing that took place in Plikhana BDR Headquarters and also our deepest sympathy to the members of bereaved families. Our bank donated Tk.25.00 lac to the honorable Prime Minister's fund. Besides, among the bereaved families, NBL decided to give Tk.40, 000/- per month to each five families, which will continue for ten years. Ladies and Gentlemen, , the Bank has recorded rapid and consistent growth in a tough and competitive sector. One of the major reasons for this success has been the commitment of its motivated staff with a strong work ethic. We have a fine team of people, shared set of priorities and a proud tradition of success. I sincerely appreciate the efforts of the entire workforce led by our Managing Director for their outstanding achievements. I would like to give my sincere thanks to the Finance Ministry, Bangladesh Bank, National Board of Revenue, Securities and Exchange Commission, other government agencies, Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges, Depositors, Borrowers, Well-wishers and last but not the least, the Shareholders for providing us with continuous support to run the bank smoothly. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues on the Board, who have given their best, in the face of adverse internal and external conditions and has made 2008 yet another year of success for the Bank. We not only opted for the growth of the organization, but also, wanted to share our financial success with shareholders in an appropriate manner. Hence, the Board of Directors proposed to the Annual General Meeting of shareholders for stock dividend at the rate of 52percent on the profit of 2008. In fine, considering the Bank's present shape and strength, we hope that National Bank is well poised to meet the challenges of 2009 and beyond. Since the very beginning, the Bank exerted much emphasis on overseas operation and handled a sizeable quantum of homebound foreign remittance. The Bank established extensive drawing arrangement network with Banks and Exchange Companies located in important countries of the world. Expatriates Bangladeshi wage earners residing in those countries can now easily remit their hard-earned money to the country with confidence, safety and speed. The Bank earned a profit before tax of Tk. 2,828.80 million for 2008, a growth of Tk. 793.70 million or 39 percent, over the normalized profit before tax for 2007.The Bank's profit after tax and provision for 2008, at Tk. 1,517.40 million reflected an even stronger growth of 22.51

Economic trends and their impact Fiscal year 2007 was another year of achievement for Bangladesh and its financial sector. The economy of Bangladesh maintained a strong GDP growth of 6.5 percent resulting from robust performance in services and manufacturing sector. The growth was substantially contributed by increased inflow of remittances from Bangladeshi expatriates and reasonable growth in export. The performance is praiseworthy despite high commodity price specially Petroleum products in international market which influenced the domestic market adversely. Bangladesh Bank increased the capital adequacy requirement of the banks from 9 percent to 10 percent of RWA and also introduced general provision on Off-balance sheet items in an effort to reduce inflation and strengthen lending facilities of Commercial banks for better asset & liability management. These affected both banks and borrowers. The loss of business confidence and cautionary monetary policy resulted to excess liquidity in the banking sector. The growth of deposits and lending activities slowed down from the level of last fiscal year. Increased provisioning requirement on the off-balance sheet items will improve capital adequacy but reduce the ROA and ROE of the banking sector. The banks are now facing increasingly interest sensitive customers who are demanding higher rate of return against their deposits. Coupled with these rising interest cost and reduced spread, the rise in prices of oil and other importable items have exerted pressure on dollar which have squeezed the exchange and fee earnings of the banks. However, banking sector particularly the private commercial banks showed its resilience and continued to perform better by diversifying the asset portfolio to Retail, SME and Capital
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Market. The available statistics indicate that share of business of PCBs are increasing in deposits, lending and other business operations. In this competitive situation, PBL remained focused in all key areas and achieved higher growth in operating profit during 2007. Strategy
PBL has consistently remained focused on efficient customer service by providing wide range of products and services. Our products and services are as diverse as the market segments demand. Our customer group range from individuals, big corporate clients, NGOs to Non residents. Financing to, NGOs were done for extending micro finance to cover less', privileged people who are struggling to fight poverty. PBL will also focus on its delivery platform, its people and its brand to support the growth. PBL will focus more on off balance sheet services for the clients by enhancing the cash management and other advisory services through its state of art IT platform. Improvement in mix of deposits by developing more retail savings products remained in our policy objective and shall continue to remain so in 2008 as well. It will try to remain ahead of the peer group bench mark. PBL's core value to remain socially responsible corporate citizen will remain integral part to its strategy and communicating them to all stakeholders is intrinsic to the plan.
Leveraging on diversification
Loans & Advances The growth of Loans & Advances was 28.11 percent during the year as against 40 percent of previous year. The Loans and Advances cover following core areas: Corporate, SME, Retail and Credit Card. Corporate operations Prime Bank's corporate business provides tailored services to corporate and institutional clients. The financing is based on both conventional and Islamic Shariah mode. While providing large loans to our customer, the policy of Bangladesh Bank is strictly followed. The Customer Relationship Program has been strengthened and frequent interaction has been ensured to cater the growing needs of our customers. Corporate finance in both modes (Conventional and Islamic Shariah) showed steady growth. PBL has been a dominant player in arranging syndicated loan for its customers. PBL already proved itself as a trusted partner of both syndication participants and large loan borrowers and it is expected that demand for structured loan would increase
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 during 2008 for infrastructure projects. The sectors of financing include pharmaceutical, chemical, cement, ceramic, steel, micro finance, food and allied industry, power station, infrastructure. It raises funds from the market for financing term loans, working capital at the most competitive rates under secured terms & condition. SME PBL took a strategic shift towards developing and expanding the SME financing which has received considerable attention of the policy makers. During 2007, Prime Banks strategy was focused on marketing the Bank's products to wider range of customers and provided working capital and term loan to different manufacturers, traders and service providers including backward and forward linkage industry that fall working abroad to provide fastest delivery of remitted fund to local beneficiary. Having this objective, we are continuously increasing our rural branches and making arrangements with other local banks to extend fastest delivery service of inward remittances. In addition to the opening of exchange house at Singapore, Prime Bank entered into agreement with various exchange houses in USA, UK, and Middle East and South Asian countries to arrange inward foreign remittances of the Bangladeshi expatriates. This strategy of the Bank allowed the rural people to have modern banking facilities. PBL also participated in various trade fairs organized by trade bodies abroad to bring more customers under its net. Capital Market Operation Capital market of the country experienced a very vintage year in 2007. The total market capitalization reached to a level of USD 10 billion mark. New inflow of liquidity and entry of fresh investors pulled the stock market to its record height. Merchant Banking and Investment Unit (MBU) has been reorganized and now actively participating in the secondary market under appropriate risk management policies and guidelines approved by the Board. The Bank launched a scheme titled "Prime Investment Portfolio Management Services" for the individuals and institutional investors to invest in the stock market. Assistance services facilities are also provided to portfolio account holder on the basis of published information and accounts. Merchant Banking Unit contributed record operating profit during 2007.

Prime Bank has now acquired strength and expertise to support the banking needs of the foreign investors. PBL opened its Off Shore Banking Unit at DEPZ, Savar, Dhaka. Opening of the Offshore Banking Unit will allow the bank to serve the wage earners and the foreign investors better than before. PBL also obtained a license for opening another offshore branch at Patenga, Chittagong.
Performance of Subsidiary Prime Exchange Co. Ltd. in Singapore finished its one and half year operation and has substantially reduced its operating loss in 2007. Opening of the fully owned subsidiary in Singapore has added a new dimension to the Bank's remittance operation widening its global reach for remittance services. We hope that opening of the subsidiary will help the country in augmenting the flow of inward foreign remittance through banking channel.
Capital Management Bank continues to manage its capital efficiently in order to support its annual business plan and to ensure adequate return on capital to shareholders. Prime Bank recognizes the impact on shareholders returns of the level of equity and seeks to maintain a prudent balance between TierI and Tier II capital. PBL gave due attention to internal generation of capital by improving the ROA & ROE and was successful in doing so during 2007. The capital adequacy of the Bank rose to 11.50 percent from 9.95 percent of 2006. It not only met the enhanced regulatory requirement of 10 percent but also remained over 1 percent to mitigate risks. Bangladesh Bank is contemplating to start implementing Risk based capital accord "Basel II" from the year 2009 and advised the banks for capacity building of its officers. PBL has already imparted training to the officers and also streamlined the risk management process in order to be prepared for implementation of Basel II on time.

Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Corporate Governance
To comply the ICT Guideline of Bangladesh Bank and to ensure the smooth operation of business, an Independent "IT Audit & Security" Department has been formed in May, 2007. The main aim of the department is to identify the inherent risks and vulnerabilities associated with the use of IT, its operation and operation of core banking system Pc Bank /T24, to implement controls to mitigate the risks and provide recommendations for improvement in controls for reducing risks. Internal IT Audit provides an objective means of reviewing the risks faced by the Bank in relation to use of Information Technology and assesses whether they are being controlled/mitigated in an effective and efficient manner; provides an assessment of the Bank's IT control against Guideline on ICT for Scheduled Banks and Financial Institutions of Bangladesh Bank. Internal IT Audit has carried out audit of 43 branches during 2007. Internal Control and Compliance Internal Control contains self -monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. Even with effective internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations including the possibility of the circumvention or overriding of controls and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. PBL has taken all-out efforts to mitigate all sorts of risk as per guidelines issued by Bangladesh Bank. As a part of robust risk management process, the Bank has formulated a comprehensive Credit Risk Management Policy to address credit risk. To mitigate operational risk, money laundering and terrorist financing risk, circumvention or overriding the internal control procedure, Internal Audit, Board Audit Cell and Central Compliance and Internal Control Divisions are carrying out regular audit and inspection of the functions of the Branches. Deficiencies /lapses /irregularities detected by these audit and inspection are rectified/ regularized by the concerned Branches at the earliest and submit compliance report to the Head Office. The Bank has already prepared the Risk Assessment Matrix of various banking functions and incorporated the same in Departmental Control Function Checklist (DCFCL).

The Bank has already introduced international standard policies and standard operating procedures (SOP) prepared by reputed foreign consultant PricewaterhouseCoopers.

To assess the position of internal control and anti-money laundering compliance in various Branches of PBL, Central Compliance and Internal Control Division carried out on site inspection of 44 Branches during 2007. Corporate Social Responsibility
It is being widely recognized by the corporate sector that augmented Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) designed to respond to huge unmet needs of the society can be one of the important means in the achievement of long term and persistent business value. The high level of awareness of CSR has also strongly come about as a result of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG), in which a major goal is the increased contribution of assistance from a range of organizations to help alleviate poverty and hunger, and for businesses to be more aware of their impact on society. In the context of current global and local scenarios, customers and public together with the development players and partners are very much aware of the CSR and its synergistic effects on national development process. There is no "one-size-fits-all" for pursuing a CSR approach. Each company has unique characteristics and circumstances that will affect how it views its operational contexts and its defining social responsibilities. One of the nicest things about CSR as perceived by Prime Bank is the extent to which it takes real social and community problems or issues in the way bank does business and innovates responses to them. PBL supports the concept of "Triple Bottom Line" which focuses on: Good economic performance Good social practice Good environmental practice In respect of CSR, PBL has focused on following specific key areas of: Nation building Enhancement of market place Promotion of the work place

Findings of the Study
6.01 Findings:In general, actual accounting and disclosure practices in Bangladesh fall far short of the applicable requirements as per IAS. Some examples follow:
Consolidated financial statements - It is common practice not to comply with the IAS requirements on consolidation.
Statement of changes in equity - Many companies financial statements did not include this.
Segment reporting - Few companies reported segment sales and only one company disclosed segment assets and liabilities in addition to segment income and expenditure. Most companies that apparently had business segments and geographical segments did not comply with the segment reporting requirements.
Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates - Some companies that had exchange difference arising on outstanding foreign currency loans on the balance sheet date adopted a capitalization method instead of expensing. Although this is permitted under Companies Act 1994, it is a violation
of IAS. In other cases, export receivables were disclosed at the exchange rate prevailing on transaction date instead of balance sheet date as required by IAS.
Related party transactions - Detailed disclosures in accordance with IAS requirements were not found in any sets of financial statements. For instance, the ownership structure of many companies suggested that related parties and related party transactions existed, but in most cases there were limited or no disclosures.
Revenue recognition - Many companies did not properly disclose the accounting policy on revenue recognition. It is common practice for installment sale business in Bangladesh to recognize sales on cash rather than accrual basis as required by IAS.
Property, plant, and equipment - In cases where fixed assets were revalued, detailed disclosures required under the IAS were not available. Moreover, none of the companies addressed the IAS requirements on impairment of assets. Employee benefits - Many companies disclosed the existence of employee pension benefits but failed to disclose information required by the relevant IAS. In many cases, the liability for employee benefit expenses was not recognized on an accrual basis. No disclosure was made as to whether actuarial or any other forms of valuations had been made to quantify outstanding liabilities for employees post-employment benefits. One of the major listed companies in Bangladesh was discovered to have appropriated loans from the employee provident fund and the workers profit participation fund. The loans outstanding are several times the annual contributions made to these funds. Details of the terms and conditions of these loans and reconciliation of the movements of these funds were not disclosed.
Pre-operating expenses - Bangladesh accounting practice generally treats pre-operational expenses as assets on the face of the balance sheet, and then writes off these expenses over several years. These assets are not intangible and should have been expensed. .
Contingencies: - Many reviewed companies do not disclose contingent liabilities for obligations that may arise from past events.
Leases - There are a number of leasing companies operating in Bangladesh. The principal business operations are in the nature of finance leases, but very attractive fiscal incentives encourage lessor and lessees to treat them as operating leases, contrary to IAS requirements.
Interim financial reporting - While presenting half-yearly reports, all companies failed to present the Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements.
Additional disclosure by banks - Banks did not disclose aggregate amounts included in the balance sheet for loans and advances on which interest is not being accrued. Banks provided no information or commentary on the risk management policy. For financial instruments, terms and conditions, particularly the rate of interest and security for financial assets and liabilities, were not disclosed. Several banks included as assets in their financial statements large amounts as suspense accounts and inter-branch balances (un-reconciled differences), and no explanation was provided for such treatment.
6.02 Recommendation:The recommendations outlined in this thesis will be useful as inputs for preparing financial statements and implementing a country action plan for accounting improvement in Bangladesh. Improve the statutory framework of accounting and auditing.

6.03 Conclusion:Reporting practices of listed banking companies in any county of the world is subject to regulatory control. In Bangladesh, Listed banking companies of Bangladesh are required to prepare annual report complying with the relevant provisions of regulations such as Companies
Report on - Corporate Mandatory Disclosure in Financial Statement by Some Selected Bank in Bangladesh as per IAS-1 Act, 1994 and Securities and Exchange Commission Rules, 1987. Besides, ICAB has adopted IAS-1: Presentation of Financial Statement for the preparation and publication of statutory annual report of business enterprises of the country. But this has not been followed compulsory by some company on the part of business enterprises. Reporting practices of business enterprises are found to be not satisfactory. Because, these enterprises do not comply with the relevant provisions of the aforementioned regulations including IAS-1.This is why, the thesis has examined the relevant provisions of regulatory frameworks that influence the reporting practices of listed banking companies in the country. The study has identified the legal flaws in reporting practice and suggested the policy measures for improving the annual reporting practices of listed banking companies in Bangladesh. Bangladesh Bank has adopted International Accounting Standards (IAS) as its accounting framework and International Standards on Auditing (ISA) for auditing standard from financial year 2003. In order to support the strengthening initiative, BB has utilized the services of Financial Management Consultant BCA and FIA) and submitted their recommendations for necessary amendments to these Acts to transform them into modern pieces of legislatures & prepared by the Legal Counsels and then translate the same into Bengali, in order to build inhouse legal capacity. The banking regulator has no much mechanism to monitor and enforce accounting and financial reporting requirements. The Bangladesh Bank, as the regulator of banking and nonbanking financial institutions, conducts routine supervision exercises to monitor and enforce prudential regulations. Bangladesh Bank inspectors examine whether financial statements have been prepared in accordance with established regulations such as IAS. In this inspection process, no attempt is made to assess the degree of compliance with requirements on preparing generalpurpose financial statements.
