==================================================================================================================================================
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2006

1. STATUS AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Standard Chartered Bank (Pakistan) Limited ("the Bank") was incorporated in Pakistan on 19 July 2006 and was granted approval for commencement of banking business by State Bank of Pakistan, with effect from 30 December 2006. The ultimate holding company of the Bank is Standard Chartered Plc., incorporated in England. Its registered office is at Standard Chartered Bank Building, I.I. Chundrigar Road, Karachi.

The Bank commenced formal operations on 30 December 2006 through amalgamation of entire undertaking of Union Bank Limited and the business carried on by the branches in Pakistan of Standard Chartered Bank, a bank incorporated by Royal Charter and existing under the laws of the England. The scheme of amalgamation was sanctioned by State Bank of Pakistan vide its order dated 4 December 2006.

The Bank is engaged in the banking business as defined in the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and has a total number of 115 branches in Pakistan and 2 branches in Sri Lanka (2005: 43 branches in Pakistan) in operation at 31 December 2006.

Standard Chartered Bank (Pakistan) Limited has three subsidaries. All of them are incorporated in Pakistan.

-- Union Leasing Limited

-- Standard Chartered Modarba

-- Standard Chartered Services of Pakistan (Private) Limited

These financial statements are separate financial statements of the bank in which investments in subsidiaries are accounted for on the basis of direct equity interest rather than on the basis of reported results. Consolidated financial statements are presented separately.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

2.1 Basis of presentation

In accordance with the directives of the Federal Government regarding the shifting of the banking System to Islamic modes, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has issued various circulars from time to time. One permissible form of trade related mode of financing comprises of purchase of goods by the Bank from its customers and immediate resale to them at appropriate mark-up in price on deferred payment basis. The purchases and sales arising under these arrangements are not reflected in these financial statements as such but are restricted to the amount of facility actually utilised and the appropriate portion of mark-up thereon.
2.2 Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan, the requirements of the Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 and the Companies Ordinance,1984. Approved accounting standards comprise of such International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as notified under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984. Wherever the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984, Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 or directives issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan ("SECP") and the SBP differ with requirements of these standards, the requirements of the Companies Ordinance, 1984, Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962 or the requirements of the said directives take precedence.

The SECP has approved and notified the adoption of International Accounting Standard 39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' (IAS 39) and International Accounting Standard 40, 'Investment Property' (IAS 40). The requirements of these standards have not been followed in the preparation of these financial statements as the SBP has deferred the implementation of these standards for the banks in Pakistan till further instructions. However, investments have been classified and valued in accordance with the requirements of various circulars issued by SBP.

The SECP has notified the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards 3 - Business combinations' on 6 December 2006. The Bank has adopted this standard for preparation of these financial statements.

During 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan notified the Islamic Financial Accounting Standard 1 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan relating to accounting for Murabaha transactions undertaken by a bank, effective for financial periods beginning on or after 1 January 2006. The standard has not been adopted by stand-alone Islamic branches of conventional banks pending resolution of certain issues, e.g., invoicing of goods, recording of inventories, concurrent application with other approved accounting standards in place for conventional banks, etc.. Pakistan Banks Association has taken up the matter with the State Bank of Pakistan. The adoption of this standard is not likely to have a material effect on these financial statements.
2.3 Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except that certain available for sale, trading and derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value.
2.4 Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with approved accounting standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in the following:

-- Note 4 Fair value determination on acquisition

-- Note 9.3 Provision for doubtful advances

-- Note 30 Income taxes

-- Note 34 Employees retirement benefit plans
2.5 Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Pakistan Rupees, which is the Bank's functional currency. Except as indicated, financial information presented in Pakistan Rupees has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1 Business acquisitions
Acquisitions from entities under common control

Business combinations arising from transfers of interests in entities that are under the control of the shareholder that controls the Group are accounted for as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. For this purpose comparatives are restated. The assets and liabilities acquired are recognised at the carrying amounts recognised previously in the combining entity's financial statements.
Other acquisitions

Other business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method. The cost of acquisition is measured as the fair value of the asset given, equity instruments issued and the liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identified assets acquired are fair valued at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
3.2 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash and balances with treasury bank and balances with other banks.
3.3 Investments

The Bank classifies its investments as follows:

a) Held fortrading

These are securities, which are acquired with the intention to trade by taking advantage of short term market / interest rate movements and are carried at market value. The surplus / deficit arising as a result of revaluation at market value is taken to income.
b) Held to maturity

These are securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that are held with the intention and ability to hold to maturity. These are carried at amortised cost.
c) Available for sale

These are investments that do not fall under the held for trading or held to maturity categories and are carried at market value. The surplus / deficit arising as a result of revaluation at market value is kept in a separate account below equity.
d) Subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at amortised cost.
3.4 Sale and repurchase agreements

Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements ('repos') remain on the balance sheet; the counterparty liability is included in borrowings from financial institutions. Securities purchased under agreements to resell ('reverse repos') are recorded as lendings to financial institutions. The difference between sale and repurchase price is treated as interest/markup/return and accrued over the life of the agreements using the effective interest method.
3.5 Advances

Advances are stated net of provision against non-performing advances. Specific and general provisions are made based on an appraisal of the loan portfolio that takes into account Prudential Regulations issued by SBP from time to time. Specific provisions are made where the repayment of identified loans is in doubt and reflect an estimate of the amount of loss expected. The general provision is for the inherent risk of losses which, although they have not been separately identified, are known from experience to be present in any loan porfolio. Provision made / reversed during the year is charged to the profit and loss account and accumulated provision is netted off against advances. Advances are written-off when there is no realistic prospect of recovery.

When the Bank is the lessor in a lease agreement that transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee, the arrangement is presented within loans and advances.
3.6 Operating fixed assets - tangible Owned

Operating fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or are recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit and loss account during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using straight line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Gains and losses on disposal of fixed assets are included in profit and loss account currently.
Leased

Fixed assets held under finance lease are stated at lower of fair value of asset and present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of lease less accumulated depreciation. Financial charges are allocated over the period of lease term so as to provide a constant periodic rate of financial charge on the outstanding liability. Depreciation is charged on the basis similar to owned assets.
3.7 Intangible assets Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the share of net identifiable assets acquired at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment.
Computer software

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised on the basis of the expected useful lives.
Acquired intangibles in business combination

Acquired intangibles in business combination that have finite lives are amortised over their economic useful life based on the manner that benefits of the relevant assets are consumed.
3.8 Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Bank's non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of goodwill is estimated at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
3.9 Staff retirement benefits

Defined benefit plan

The Bank operates approved funded pension and gratuity schemes for all its non-management employees and pension scheme for its management employees. The employees can opt either for pension or gratuity at the time of retirement / termination. The bank also operates a funded gratuity scheme for all of Union Bank employees.

For defined benefit plans, the liability recognised in the balance sheet is the present value of defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using "Projected Unit Credit Actuarial Cost Method".

Actuarial gains and losses that arise are recognised in shareholders' equity and are presented in the statement of recognised income and expenses in the period they arise. Past service costs are recognised immediately to the extent that benefits are vested and are otherwise recognised over average period until benefits are vested on a straight line basis. Current service costs and any past service costs together with the expected return on plan assets less the effect of the unwinding of the discount on plan liabilities are charged to operating expenses.
Defined contribution plan

The Bank also operates a defined contribution gratuity scheme for all its management staff and a provident fund scheme for all its permanent staff, contributing at rates ranging from 8.33 percent to 10 percent of basic salary.
3.10 Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the Pakistan Rupees at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to Pakistan Rupees at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to Pakistan Rupees at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, are translated to Pakistan Rupees at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.
3.11 Taxation

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the profit and loss account except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they probably will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
3.12 Revenue recognition

Mark-up I return on advances and investments is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method, except income which warrants carry forward in compliance with the Prudential Regulations of the SBP and with credit policies manual of the Bank.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability (or, where appropriate, a shorter period) to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. The effective interest rate is established on initial recognition of the financial asset and liability and is not revised subsequently.

Fees and commission income are generally recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided. Fees and commission which in substance amount to an additional interest charge, are recognised over the life of the underlying transaction on a level yield basis.

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive income is established. Usually this is the ex-dividend date for equity securities.
3.13 Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. All derivative financial instruments are carried as assets when fair value is positive and liabilities when fair value is negative. Any change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments is taken to profit and loss account.
3.14 Provisions

Provisions for restructuring costs and legal claims are recognised when: the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.
3.15 Fiduciary activities

The Bank commonly acts in fiduciary capacities that result in the holding or placing of assets on behalf of individuals, trusts, retirement benefit plans and other institutions. These assets and income arising thereon are excluded from these financial statements, as they are not assets of the Bank.
3.16 Segment reporting

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Bank that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The Bank's primary format for segment reporting is based on business segments.
3.17 Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are set off and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to set off the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
3.18 Subordinated liabilities

Subordinated liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, and subsequently measured at their amortised cost using the effective interest method.
3.19 New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The following standards, amendments and interpretations of approved accounting standards, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007 are either not relevant to Bank's operations or are not expected to have significant impact on the Bank's financial statements other than certain increased disclosures:

30.2 The income tax assessments of SCB Pakistan branches have been finalized upto and including the tax year 2004. Bank's / departmental appeals for the assessment / tax years 1976-77 to 2004 are pending before different appellate levels.

Despite management's expectation of favourable decision in the pending appeals, any tax liability in case of adverse decision has been fully provided.
30.3 Union Bank's tax assessments for the assessment years 1993-94 to 2001-02 and tax year 2005 are under various stages of appeal against certain disallowances. The assessment for 2005 was raised with additional demand of Rs. 753 million and company's appeal before CIT (A) was successful but the department has filed an appeal before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal against the order of the Commissioner Income Tax (Appeals). However, the date of hearing of the appeal is yet to be decided. The management is confident of favourable outcome from appeals process.
30.4 EBI's (acquired by the Union Bank in 2002) assessments for the assessment years 1981-82 to 2001-02 are under various stages of appeal. The management is confident of favourable outcome from appeals process.
30.5 One of the assets acquired as part of the acquisition of Emirates Bank Pakistan's operations (EBIL) by Union Bank included tax compensation receivable from CBR amounting to As 160.653 million on account of delayed refunds. The taxation officer had determined the amount of compensation of As 44.320 million through order dated 27 January 2006 as against the bank's claim of As 160.653 million. Appeal was filed before the Commissioner of Income tax (Appeals) who has allowed further compensation of As 72.476 million vide order no. 16 to 26 dated 31 May 2006. The bank and tax department have filed appeals before the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal which are pending for adjudication. The bank has also filed an application for resolution of this dispute by the Alternate Dispute Resolution Committee but the matter has not been heard as yet. As a matter of prudence, the bank has made a provision of As 43.857 million against the afore-mentioned tax compensation.

36. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

36.1 On-balance sheet financial instruments

Except for investment in subsidiaries, unlisted companies, fixed term advances ot over one year, staff loans and fixed term deposits of over one year, the fair value of on balance sheet financial assets and liabilities are not significantly different from their book value as these assets and liabilities are either short term in nature or are frequently re-priced.

The fair value of fixed term advances of over one year, staff loans, fixed term deposits of over one year and investment in subsidiaries cannot be calculated with sufficient reliability due to non-availability of relevant active market for similar assets and liabilities.

The fair value of investment in quoted subsidiaries is disclosed in note 8.11.

40. RISK MANAGEMENT

Through its risk management structure the Bank seeks to manage efficiently the core risks: credit, market, country, and liquidity risk. These arise directly through the Bank's commercial activities whilst compliance and regulatory risk, operational risk and reputational risks are normal consequences of any business undertaking.

The basic principles of risk management followed by the bank include:
Balancing risk and reward

Risk is taken in support of the requirements of the Bank's stakeholders. Risk should be taken in support of the Bank strategy and within its risk appetite.
Responsibility

Given the Bank is in the business of taking risk, it is everyone's responsibility to ensure that risk taking is both disciplined and focused. The Bank takes account of its social, environmental and ethical responsibilities in taking risk to produce a return.
Accountability

Risk is taken only within agreed authorities and where there is appropriate infrastructure and resource. All risk taking must be transparent, controlled and reported.
Anticipation

The Bank looks to anticipate future risks and to maximise awareness of all risk.
Risk management

The Bank aims to implement best practices and have a specialist risk function of international standards, with strength in depth, experience across risk types and economic scenarios.
Ultimate responsibility for the effective management of risk rests with the Company's Board. Acting within an authority delegated by the Board, the Executive Committee, reviews specific risk areas and monitors the activities of the Risk Committee ("RC") and the Asset and Liability Committee ("ALCO").

RC headed by Chief Risk Officer (CR0), through authority delegated by the Board, is responsible for credit risk, market risk, operational risk, compliance and regulatory risk, legal risk and reputational risk. ALCO, through authority delegated by the Board, is responsible for liquidity risk, for structural interest rate and foreign exchange exposures, and for capital ratios.

The day to day responsibility for managing risk rests with CR0 who overseas and manages the risk through a team of a managers; Senior Credit Officer responsible for credit risk in Wholesale Bank, Head of Consumer Credit responsible for credit risk in Consumer Bank (including SME), Head of Special Assets Management responsible for remedial risk management, Head of Credit Risk Controls responsible for collateral management, security documentation, credit MIS and controls, Head of Market Risk responsible for liquidity risk and risks associated with price movements, arising from interest and exchange rate movements.

The Bank has established polices, procedures, processes, and controls and have provided the Risk team adequate support by way of risk systems and tools for measuring and reporting risk for monitoring, controlling, reviewing and managing risk.
40.1 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not settle its obligations in accordance with agreed terms. Credit exposures may arise from lending, trade finance, securities and derivative exposures. Credit exposures include both individual borrowers and groups of connected counterparties and portfolios in the banking and trading books.

The Board of Directors has delegated down the authority to CEO and the Bank's Executive Committee to establish credit risk appetite and make recommendations to the Board for approval of policies for managing credit risk.

The CEO and the Executive Committee in turn rely on CR0 and the Risk Committee to determined these and recommend for their support and Boards approval. The CR0 is also delegated down by the CEO responsibility to delegate credit authorities to independent Risk Officers.

Credit risk appetite is established through business strategy papers and underwriting standards by the business managers, which are approved by the the Executive Committee once recommended and supported by the Risk Committee chaired by the CR0.

Specific procedures for managing credit risk within Wholesale and Consumer (including SME) are determined at the Senior Credit Officer and Head of Consumer Credit levels for their respective jurisdictions with specific policies and procedures being adapted to different risk environment and business goals.

Credit analysis includes review of facility details, credit grade determination and financial spreading/ratio analysis. Portfolio review, Early Alerts and Stress Testing based on scenario analysis is a combined responsibility of Client Relationship and Risk function. Client relationship origination and credit approval roles are clearly segregated throughout Wholesale and Consumer Banks.
40.1.1 Wholesale Banking

Within the Wholesale Banking business, a numerical grading system is used for quantifying the risk associated with counterparty. The grading is based on a probability of default measure, with customers analysed against a range of quantitative and qualitative measures. Expected Loss is used for the further assessment of individual exposures and portfolio analysis.

There is a clear segregation of duties with loan applications being prepared separately from the approval chain.
40.1.2 Consumer Banking

For Consumer Banking, standard credit application forms are generally used, which are processed in central units for different products and market segments. As with Wholesale Banking, origination and approval roles are segregated.

40.2 Market Risk

The Bank recognises market risk as the exposures created by potential changes in market prices and rates. Market risk exposures arise primarily from interest rate and foreign exchange related contracts. The Bank has no significant exposure to equity and commodity price risk.

Market risk is managed by the Head of Market Risk reporting directly to the CRO, who agrees policies and procedures and levels of risk appetite in terms of Value at Risk ("VaR"). Limits are then proposed by the business within the terms of agreed policy. These are agreed and delegated down by CRO under delegated authority from the CEO and are monitored by Head of Market Risk as part of an independent risk management function. Policies cover both the trading and non-trading books.

In addition to market risk policies as well as VaR and other market risk limits, independent stress testing of portfolios, factor sensitivity measures and derivatives are also employed as additional risk management tools to manage and hedge market risk exposures. Risk models are periodically back tested against actual results to ensure pre-determined levels of accuracy are maintained.

40.5 Yield / Interest Rate Risk

Yield risk is the risk of decline in earnings due to adverse movement of the yield curve. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in the market interest rates.The Bank is exposed to various risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. The bank manages this risk by matching the re-pricing of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments.
40.6 Liquidity Risk

The Bank defines liquidity risk as the risk that the Bank either does not have sufficient financial resources available to meet all its obligations and commitments as and when they fall due, or can access them only at excessive cost.

Liquidity risk is managed through the Asset and Liability Committee ("ALCO"). This committee, chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for both statutory and prudential liquidity.

Liquidity risk is monitored through the internal liquidity risk management policy. A range of tools are used for the management of liquidity. These comprise commitment and wholesale borrowing guidelines, key balance sheet ratios, medium term funding requirements and day to day monitoring of future cash flows.

In addition, liquidity contingency funding plans are reviewed periodically to ensure that alternative funding strategies are in place and can be implemented on a timely basis to minimise the liquidity risk that may arise due to unforeseen adverse changes in the market place.

A substantial portion of the Bank's assets are funded by customer deposits made up of current and savings accounts and other deposits. These customer deposits, which are widely diversified by type and maturity, represent a stable source of funds.

The Bank also maintains significant levels of marketable securities either for compliance with local statutory requirements or as prudential investments of surplus funds.

40.8 Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of a direct or indirect loss being incurred due to an event or action arising from the failure of technology, processes, infrastructure, personnel and other risks having operational risk impact.

The Country Operational Risk Group ("CORG") has been established to ensure that an appropriate risk management framework is in place at a grass root level and to report, monitor and manage operational, social, ethical and environmental risk. The CORG is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer and CR0 is an active member of this forum.

All business units within the Bank monitor their operational risks using set standards and indicators. Significant issues and exceptions are reported to the CORG and are also picked up by independent Risk function for discussion at the Risk Committee chaired by CR0. Disaster recovery procedures, business contingency planning, self-compliance audits and internal audits also form an integral part of the operational risk management process.
41. ISLAMIC BANKING BUSINESS
