90    EXIM BANK MALAYSIA
            Annual Report 2020


          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

          TO THE MEMBERS OF EXPORT-IMPORT BANK OF MALAYSIA BERHAD
          (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA)





          Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
          The directors of the Bank are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank that give a
          true and fair view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the
          requirements of the Companies Act, 2016 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as the directors
          determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements of the Group and of the Bank that are free from material
          misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
          In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s and the
          Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
          basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Bank or to cease operations, or have no realistic
          alternative but to do so.

          Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
          Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank as a whole
          are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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 approved
          standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.

          As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on Auditing, we
          exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
          •  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank, 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 appropriate in the
           circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and of the Bank’s internal
           control.
          •  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures
           made by the directors.
          •  Conclude on the appropriateness of directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence
           obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s
           and the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
           attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to
           modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However,
           future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.
          •  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank, including the
           disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank 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 financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
           performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
