STATEMENT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

Statement of Responsibility of the Board of Management of the Bank in respect of the consolidated financial statements

The Board of Management of Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank (“the Bank”) is responsible for preparing the consolidated financial statements which give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Bank and its subsidiary as at 31 December 2024, the results of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Management is required to:

  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
  • prepare the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Bank and its subsidiary will continue in business.

The Board of Management of the Bank is responsible for ensuring that proper accounting records are kept which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the consolidated financial position of the Bank and its subsidiary and enable consolidated financial statements to be prepared which comply with the basis of accounting as set out in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The Board of Management is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Bank and its subsidiary and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or error.

Approval of the consolidated financial statements

We hereby, approve the accompanying consolidated financial statements as set out on pages 222 to 306. The consolidated financial statements which give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Bank and its subsidiary as at 31 December 2024, the results of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, the Vietnamese Accounting System and regulations on the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements applicable to credit institutions operating in Vietnam.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF HO CHI MINH CITY DEVELOPMENT JOINT STOCK COMMERCIAL BANK

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank (“the Bank”) and its subsidiary which were prepared on 31 December 2024 and approved by the Board of Management of the Bank on 31 March 2025. The consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended, and explanatory notes to the consolidated financial statements including significant accounting policies, as set out on pages 222 to 306.

The Board of Management’s Responsibility

The Board of Management of the Bank is responsible for the preparation and the true and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiary in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, the Vietnamese Accounting System and regulations on the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements applicable to credit institutions operating in Vietnam, and for such internal control which the Board of Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Vietnamese Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical standards and requirements and plan and perform the audit in order to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiary are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Bank and its subsidiary’s preparation and true and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements 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 Bank and its subsidiary’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Bank and its subsidiary as at 31 December 2024, the results of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, the Vietnamese Accounting System and regulations on the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements applicable to credit institutions operating in Vietnam.
