2.3 Basis of MeasurementThe financial statements have been prepared in Ghana Cedi (GHC) and under the historical cost conven-tion except for available for sale investments, investment properties, derivative financial assets/liabilities held for trading which have been measured at fair value.

2.4 Use of Estimates and JudgementsThe preparation of the Bank’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The Bank based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assump-tions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances beyond the control of the Bank. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.

3.0 Risk Management DisclosuresTaking risk is core in the business of Banking. In the performing of its statutory duties, the Bank analyses, evaluates and assumes positions of taking calculated risks. The Bank's aim is therefore to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return and minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance.

The arm of the committee within management is the Risk Management Depart-ment which assists it in the discharge of this responsibility. The Bank's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Bank, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions, products and services offered.

Through the compliance department, the Bank ensures it complies with all prudential and regulatory guidelines in the pursuit of profitable Banking opportunities while avoiding excessive, unnecessary and uncontrollable risk exposures. Being an inherent feature in the business of the Bank, various mitigating measures are put in place to better manage risk.

All risk management policies are formulated at the board level through the Board Committee Risk and Compliance. The Bank, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment, in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
