Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on the independent audit we performed on the Bank’s annual report, in accordance with the Article 397 of TCC and “Communique on Independent Audit of Banks” published in the Official Gazette no.29314 dated April 2, 2015 on whether the financial information provided in this annual report is presented fairly and consistent with the Bank’s consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements there on which auditor’s report dated March 3, 2017 has been issued.

We conducted our audit in accordance Independent Standards of Auditing (“ISA”) which is a part of Turkish Auditing Standards promulgated by the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (“POA”). These standards require compliance with ethical requirements the independent audit to be planned and performed to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial information provided in the annual report is free from material misstatement and consistent with the consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements. An independent audit involves performing audit procedures to obtain audit evidence about the historical financial information. The procedures selected depend on the independent auditor’s professional judgment. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial information provided in the annual report of the Board of Directors is presented fairly and consistent with the audited consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements in all material respects.

Report on other responsibilities arising from regulatory requirements

In accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 402 of the Turkish Commercial Code, within the framework of the Independent Auditing Standards 570 “Going Concern”, no material uncertainty has come to our attention to be disclosed which causes us to believe that the Bank will not be able to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.
