Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders of IFIC Bank PLC
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of IFIC Bank PLC and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as well as the separate
financial statements of IFIC Bank PLC (the “Bank”), which comprise the consolidated and separate balance sheets as at 31
December 2022 and the consolidated and separate profit and loss accounts, consolidated and separate cash flow statements and
consolidated and separate statements of changes in equity 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 financial position of the Group and the separate financial position of the Bank as at 31
December 2022, and of its consolidated and separate financial performance and its consolidated and separate cash flows for the
year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as explained in note 2.1.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards
are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements section
of our report. We are independent of the Group and the Bank in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the guidelines issued by Bangladesh Securities and
Exchange Commission (BSEC) and Bangladesh Bank, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
IESBA Code and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) Bye Laws. We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the consolidated and separate financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated.
If, based on such work we perform, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to
communicate the matter to those charged with governance.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements and Internal Controls
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group and
the separate financial statements of the Bank in accordance with IFRSs as explained in note 2.1, and for such internal control as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Bank Company Act, 1991 and the Bangladesh Bank Regulations
require the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the Group and the
Bank. The Management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal controls and report to
Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries.
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 concern, 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 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:
z Identify and assess the risks of 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.
z 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 internal controls of the
Group.
z Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
z Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s 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 auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated and separate 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Bank to
cease to continue as a going concern.
z Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the 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.
z 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.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance
in the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank, we also report that:

and forgeries as stated under the Management’s Responsibility for the financial statements and Internal Control:

Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs),the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations and for such internal control
as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:
z Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 audit 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.

z 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 Company’s internal control.
z Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
z Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidences obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 evidences obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
z Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the Companies Act 1994 , we also report the following:
(a) we have obtained all the information and explanation which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the
purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
(b) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the company so far as it appeared from our
examination of those books; and
(c) The statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet) and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (Profit

Independent Auditor’s Report


To the Shareholders of
IFIC Investment Limited

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of IFIC Investment Limited (“the Company”), which comprise the statement of financial
position as at 31 December 2022, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in
equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended,and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31
December 2022, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the period ended in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs), the Companies Act 1994, and other applicable laws and regulations.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent
of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.We believe that the audit evidence we
have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs),the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations and for such internal control
as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:
z Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 audit 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.
z 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 Company’s internal control.
z Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.

An independent member firm of


Moore Global Network Limited

MOORE Chartered Accountants

z Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidences obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 evidences obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
z Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether
the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with the Companies Act, 1994 we also report the following:

IFIC Money Transfer (UK) Limited
Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Directors
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2022 to the date of this report.
Mr A R M Nazmus Sakib
Mr Mohammad Shah Alam Sarwar
Ms Quamrun Naher Ahmed
Ms Rabeya Jamali
Mr Md Zafar Iqbal
Mr Md Monwar Hussain
Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable
law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected
to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom
Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they
are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that
period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue
in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that
the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company
and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of
which the company’s auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director
in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditors are aware
of that information.
Auditors
The auditors, Ahmed & Co, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
On behalf of the Board:

Mr A R M Nazmus Sakib - Chairman

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
IFIC Money Transfer (UK) Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of IFIC MONEY TRANSFER (UK) LIMITED (the ‘company’) for the year ended 31
December 2022 which comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary
of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and
United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its profit for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our
report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the
preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that,
individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least
twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of
this report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the
Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in
our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we
are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that
fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is
consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Directors has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have
not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Directors.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our
opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not
visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

Back to Content Annual Report 2022 275


- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take
advantage of the small companies’ exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of
the Directors.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities set out on page two, the directors are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the
directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’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 company 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 as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors 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 (UK) 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- As part of audit planning, we gain an understanding of the laws and regulations that apply to the company and how management
seek to comply with them. This helps us to make appropriate risk assessments.
- During the audit, we focus on relevant risk areas and review compliance with laws and regulations through making relevant
enquiries and corroboration by reviewing board minutes and other relevant documentation.
- We assess the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements, including as a result of fraud, and undertake procedures
including:
i. review of controls set by management
ii. enquiry of management as to whether any fraud or other irregularities may have occurred, or where such opportunity might
exist
iii. critical examination of management assumptions with regard to accounting estimates.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a
material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance
with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we are less likely to
become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than
error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s
website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act
2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state
to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for
the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Statutory Information
IFIC MONEY TRANSFER (UK) LIMITED is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The
company’s registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2 Accounting Policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” including the provisions of Section 1A “Small Entities” and
the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value
added tax and other sales taxes.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any
accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of nil years.

Tangible fixed assets


Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Land and buildings - 10% on cost
Plant and machinery etc - 33% on cost and 15% on cost

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent
that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet
date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those
in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be
recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits


The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company’s pension scheme
are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
