REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and stockholders of First Financial Holding Co., Ltd
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Financial Holding Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively “First Group”) as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of First Group as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Financial Holding Companies”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Companies”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants”, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements of Financial Institutions by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of First Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
First Group’s key audit matters for the year ended December 31, 2016 are addressed as follows:
14
Impairment evaluation of loans discounted
Description
For the accounting policy for the impairment evaluation of discounted loans, please refer to Note 4(9) of the consolidated financial statements; for critical accounting judgements, estimates, and assumption uncertainty of impairment losses of discounted loans, please refer to Note 5(2) of the consolidated financial statements; for explanations on the details of discounted loans, please refer to Note 6(7) of the consolidated financial statements. Loans discounted and allowance for bad debts recognized for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $1,563,262,172 thousand and $19,167,180 thousand, respectively.
The credit services provided by the Company’s banking subsidiary (herein referred to as the “Banking Subsidiary”), which is the Banking Subsidiary’s main business activity, are primarily corporate credit facilitations. Impairment losses on loans discounted are losses of estimated future cash flows in which there is existing objective evidence of impairment that loans may not be recovered. The Banking Subsidiary’s impairment evaluation of loans discounted is conducted in accordance with related regulations of IAS 39, ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ and meet the related requirements of the competent authority. If there is existing objective evidence of impairment loss for significant credit facilitations which exceed a certain amount or major monitored credit facilitations, then they are individually evaluated. Impairment loss is primarily provisioned according to the overdue time, current circumstances of the borrower, collateral, guarantee status of external institutions, and historical experience; if there is no existing objective evidence of impairment or if there is existing objective evidence of impairment but the credit facilitation does not exceed a certain amount, then evaluation is conducted on a group basis and impairment losses are estimated according to impairment parameters such as the impairment probability, recovery rate, and effective interest rate under each product group.
The aforementioned provision of impairment loss for loans discounted includes the determination of future cash flows of individual evaluations and impairment parameters for group evaluations. Because this involves subjective judgment and various assumptions and estimates, the method of determining assumptions and estimates will directly affect the related recognized amounts. Also, considering that loans account for approximately 61% of total assets, we have thus included the Banking Subsidiary’s individual and group impairment evaluation of loans discounted as one of the key audit matters in our audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
The procedures that we have conducted in response to specific aspects of the above-mentioned key audit matter are summarized as follows:
- Understood and assessed the reasonableness of the related policies, internal control system, and operation procedures of assumptions and estimates (including the impairment probability, recovery rate, future cash flows, and collateral value) used by the Banking Subsidiary in provisioning impairment losses for loans discounted.
15
-
Sampled and tested the implementation effectiveness of internal controls related to the provision of impairment loss, including the identification of objective evidence for impairment loss, annual reviews, management of collateral and their value assessment, value assessment of collateral, controls for changing impairment parameters, and approval for provisioning of impairment loss.
-
Group evaluations
-
(1) Evaluated model parameter assumptions of the Banking Subsidiary’s group assessments (e.g. the appropriateness of the elected impairment probability, recovery rate, and effective interest rate of different groups) and evaluated the status of periodic updates.
-
(2) Sampled and tested the completeness of impairment classification balances and sampled and tested the accuracy of such classifications.
-
(3) Filtered client accounts under product groups using the system logic which incorporated the Bank’s policy to sample and test the accuracy of their respective impairment probability, recovery rate, and effective interest rates, as well as to examine their consistency with the system reports.
4. Individual evaluations
-
(1) Sampled and tested the completeness of the “Higher Risk Borrowers” list.
-
(2) Sampled and compared the consistency of the system’s judgment with samples which had been judged to have objective evidence of impairment.
-
(3) Assessed the reasonableness of parameter assumptions (including the borrower’s time in arrears, financial and operational status, guarantee status by external institutions, and historical experience) for estimated future cash flows and the accuracy of calculation results for estimated future cash flows.
-
(4) Sampled and tested calculations for the effective interest rate to determine whether they met internal policies.
Fair value measurement of derivative instruments
Description
For the accounting policy for derivative instruments, please refer to Note 4(10) of the consolidated financial statements; for critical accounting judgments, estimates, and assumption uncertainty of derivative instruments, please refer to Note 5(1) of the consolidated financial statements; for the details on derivative instruments (accounted under financial assets at fair value through profit or loss), please refer to Note 6(3) and Note 6(16) of the consolidated financial statements; for information on the fair value hierarchy of derivative instruments (which involves estimation), please refer to Note 12(1) of the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of derivative instruments classified as assets and liabilities as at December 31, 2016, was $9,438,418 thousand and $7,804,847 thousand, respectively.
16
The fair value of First Group’s derivative instruments without an active market or public quotes are calculated using valuation models and methods widely accepted by market participants. Assumptions and parameters used in valuation models reference observable market data as much as possible. However, a number of data or parameters may not be directly observable in the market and model assumptions may be subjective in nature. Under such circumstances, the measurement of fair value is evaluated using historical data or other appropriate assumptions. When fair value is determined using valuation models, all valuation models and assumptions are periodically examined and verified to ensure that outputs reflect actual data and market prices.
The aforementioned fair value measurement of derivative instruments includes the determination of assumptions and parameters used in valuation models and methods. Because this involves subjective judgment and various assumptions and estimates, the method of determining assumptions and estimates will directly affect the related recognized amounts. Thus, we have included the fair value measurement of First Group’s derivative instruments as one of the key audit matters in our audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
The procedures that we have conducted in response to specific aspects of the above-mentioned key audit matter are summarized as follows:
-
Understood and assessed the reasonableness of written policies, internal controls, and valuation procedures for valuing derivative instruments.
-
Sampled and tested the settings of valuation models to determine whether they have been periodically verified.
-
Sampled and tested “Examination of valuation data of financial products” documents and inspected the contents to assess whether management periodically assessed valuation parameter; sampled market data (e.g. interest rates, exchange rates etc.) inputs used in the valuation models to assess the completeness and accuracy of such inputs.
-
Reperformed valuations for sampled models using the Bloomberg model to assess the reasonableness of recorded fair value valuation results.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Financial Holding Companies”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance Companies”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants”, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the
17
Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing First Group’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 First Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing First Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 ROC GAAS 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of First Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 First Group’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 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 First Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
18
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within First 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 financial statements of the current period 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.
