the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to
do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are
responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the
auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
15
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally
accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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’s internal control.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Bank to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit
findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.
16
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we
have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence,
and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we
determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of
the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our
auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine
that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the
public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent
auditors’ report are Shiuh-Ran Cheng and Chen-Hsiu Yang.

I NDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Union Bank of Taiwan
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Union Bank
of Taiwan (the Bank) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), which
comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows
for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as
of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its
consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations
Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, Regulations
Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting
Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC)
endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the
Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and
Attestation of Financial Statements of Financial Institutions by Certified Public
Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section
of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of
Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and
we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
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 for the
year ended December 31, 2018. These matters were addressed in the context of our
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.
The key audit matters of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2018 are described as follows:
Accuracy of Interest Revenue from of Discounts and Loans
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the amount of interest revenue from discounts
26
and loans was $6,987,828 thousand which, represented approximately 55% of total
net revenue, and was considered material to the financial statements as a whole.
Refer to Note 36 to the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we considered
the accuracy of the recognition of interest revenue as a key audit matter for the
year ended December 31, 2018.
The main audit procedures we performed in response to certain aspects of the key
audit matter described above were as follows:
1. Understanding of the design of the Company’s computerized information system and General IT Controls, and testing of the operating effectiveness of the controls over the relevant application system and the information generated.
2. Understanding of the design of the application system for recognition of interest revenue from commercial loans and discounts. Testing of operating effectiveness of relevant automated controls in the application system.
3. Select material loans to verify if the balance generated from the information system is the same with the carry amount.
4. Testing and assessment of the accuracy of interest revenue generated by information system. Verify if there is any difference between the interest revenue of the aforementioned loans derived from the information system and those recorded in the ledgers.
Assessment of the Impairment of Discounts and Loans
As of December 31, 2018, the net amount of discounts and loans of the Company was
$325,015,686 thousand which, represented approximately 50% of total consolidated
assets, and was considered material to the financial statements as a whole. Refer
to Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management
performs loan impairment assessment involving critical judgements on accounting
estimates and assumptions; therefore, we determined allowance for possible losses
on discounts and loans a key audit matter for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The Company’s management peridocally performs loan impairment assessment through
making judgements to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month
expected credit losses or the lifetime expected credit losses. Also, the allowance
provision should comply with classification of credit assets and relevant
regulations for the provision issued by the authorities.
For the accounting policies and relevant information on loan impairment assessment,
refer to Notes 4, 5 and 14 to the financial statements.
The main audit procedures we performed in response to certain aspects of the key
audit matter described above were as follows:
1. Obtain an understanding of and perform test on the relevant internal controls in respect of the Bank’s loan impairment assessment.
2. Obtain an understanding of the assumptions and critical factors of the impairment assessment model, including the Probability of Default and the Loss Given Default, and testing whether those estimates reasonably reflected the
27
actual status of each loan.
3. Perform test on reasonableness of calculation of expected credit losses for selected loans.
4. Test the classification of credit assets by length of overdue period for the respective loans and its collateral in order to assess whether the provision of allowances for possible losses complies with relevant regulations issued by authorities.
Other Matter
We have also audited the separate financial statements of Union Bank of Taiwan as
of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 on which we have issued an
unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the
Preparation of Financial Reports by Public Banks, Regulations Governing the
Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and
SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the
Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for
overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an
audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in
the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted
in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
28
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s internal control.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied
with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with
them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear
on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine
those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law
29
or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected
to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’
report are Shiuh-Ran Cheng and Chen-Hsiu Yang.
