9.3. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders

Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank (“the Bank”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “SHB”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the year then ended and the explanatory notes thereto which were authorised for issue by the Bank’s Board of Management on 20 March 2023, as set out on pages 160 to 223.

Management’s Responsibility

The Bank’s Board of Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, the Vietnamese Accounting System applicable to Credit institutions issued by the State Bank of Vietnam and the relevant statutory requirements applicable to financial reporting, and for such internal control as the Board of Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

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

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Bank’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Bank’s Board of Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

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

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the consolidated financial position of Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2022 and of their consolidated results of operations and their consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, the Vietnamese Accounting System applicable to Credit Institutions issued by the State Bank of Vietnam and the relevant statutory requirements applicable to financial reporting.
