3. 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. Key audit matters were addressed in the context of our independent audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

losses incurred. The uncertainties arising from these

impacts have been evaluated by the management in

their judgements and estimations.

Our audit was focused on this area due to existence of complex estimates and information used in the impairment assessment such as developing macroeconomic scenarios and their weightings, historical loss experiences; the significance of the loan balances; the appropriateness of classification of loans and lease receivables as per their credit risk (staging) in accordance with applicable regulation and the importance of determination of the associated impairment allowances. Timely and correctly identification of state default and the level of judgements and estimations made by the management have significant impacts on the amount of impairment provisions for loans. Therefore, this area is considered as a key audit matter.

We have carried loan review on a selected sample of receivables from finance sector operations with the objective to identify whether the classification of loans is performed appropriately in accordance with the applicable regulation, whether the loss event had occurred and whether the provision for impairment has been recognized in a timely manner within the TFRS 9 framework.

In addition, for non-performing receivables from finance sector operations and other significant loans that are subject to individual assessment based on the Group policies, we have evaluated the appropriateness of specific impairment provision with supportable input. Based on our discussions with the Group management, we have evaluated and challenged whether the key assumptions and other judgements, underlying the estimation of impairment were reasonable.

We have reviewed the appropriateness and sufficiency of disclosures made in the financial statements of the Group with respect to receivables from finance sector operations and related impairment provision.
