Ourresponsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit ofthe financial statements section of our report.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Head Office ofCitibank N.A. United Arab Emirates Branches (continued)Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conductedin accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arisefrom fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence thatis sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on theeffectiveness of the Banks’ internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accountingestimates and related disclosures made by management. 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 orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Banks ability to continue as a going concern. If weconclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s reportto the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modifyour opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’sreport. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a goingconcern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation.We communicate with the management regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing ofthe audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.2

Actual results may differ from these estimates.The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accountingestimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that periodor in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainties and critical judgements in applyingaccounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financialstatements are described in note 3.e)New and revised IFRSs applied on the consolidated financial statementsThe following new and revised IFRSs, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after1 January 2020, have been adopted in these consolidated financial statements.In the current year, the Group has applied a number of amendments to IFRS Standards and Interpretationsissued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are effective for an annual period thatbegins on or after 1 January 2020.Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in thesefinancial statements.New and revised IFRSSummaryAmendments to IFRS 9 FinancialInstruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7Financial Instruments Disclosures relating tointerest rate benchmark reformThe changes modify specific hedge accounting requirements so thatentities would apply those hedge accounting requirementsassuming that the interest rate benchmark on which thehedged cash flows and cash flows from the hedginginstrument are based will not be altered as a result ofinterest rate benchmark reform; are mandatory for all hedging relationships that aredirectly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform; are not intended to provide relief from any otherconsequences arising from interest rate benchmark reform(if a hedging relationship no longer meets the requirementsfor hedge accounting for reasons other than those specifiedby the amendments, discontinuation of hedge accountingis required); and require specific disclosures about the extent to which theentities' hedging relationships are affected by theamendments.10
