This is a translation from the original "INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT" issued in the Greek Language
(ECB) and applying to the members of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). 8. Fixed assets are valued at cost, except land and buildings, which are valued at market prices, determined by independent appraisers, less depreciation. In financial year 2007, the book value of the Bank's real estate was adjusted to its reasonable (market) value, as determined by independent appraisers. The resulting surplus value ( €71.5 million) was
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of BANK OF GREECE AE (the Bank), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2007, the income statement, and the statement of profit distribution.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements: Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles determined by the European Central Bank (ECB) as they have been adopted by the Bank in Article 54A of its Articles of Association and the Greek Company Law. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor's Responsibility: Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with the Greek Auditing Standards which are based on International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the 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 entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion: The recorded provision for pension and other liabilities to Employee Funds amounts to €1,003 million, which is not supported by an analysis of the calculation method and, consequently, we could not assess its adequacy. In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves as to adequacy of the provision for pension and other liabilities to Employee Funds, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of BANK OF GREECE AE as of December 31, 2007, and of its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the accounting principles determined by the European Central Bank as they have been adopted by the Bank in Article 54A of its Articles of Association and the Greek Company Law.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements: The General Council report is consistent with the information required by the Directives of the European Central Bank and the aforementioned financial statements.
