Building ASEAN Together
Maybank has been a regional bank since 1960, with the incorporation of our operations in Malaysia and opening of branches in Singapore and Brunei in that same year. Our roots in ASEAN are deep, being a Group with presence in all 10 ASEAN countries. We have been able to gain a place in ASEAN communities because we believe in embracing diversity & inclusiveness and in providing financial services with a humanising touch. We have financed our customers’ first home, helped start their small businesses, and partnered with them to expand their companies across the region. There are many more experiences that we have shared, and that we hope to be part of in the years to come.
We are passionate about being at the heart of the communities we serve to prepare them for the future and bridge them to opportunities and a better way of life.
In this report, we present our journey of humanising financial services and the aspirations we have for ASEAN and beyond.

Chairman’s Statement
I am pleased to present our third annual report and audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2014. Our Company has performed commendably, delivering a Return on Equity of 14.03%. Net Profit for the year hit a new record of USD10.76 million.
Total asset grew to USD596.86 million as at 31 December 2014, representing a 29.31% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth. Our gross loans registered a significant growth to USD352.62 million, representing 29.60% y-o-y growth, while our total customers’ deposits grew moderately y-o-y at the rate of 21.70% ending at USD361.06 million. Our solvency ratio remains adequately capitalized at 18.99%.
The building blocks to ensure that Maybank is indeed one of the top foreign banks in Cambodia have been steadily placed since the beginning of our network expansion journey for the last few years. We expanded our footprint with the opening of another five new branches to bring the total number of branches to 21 as well as adding new ATMs to a total of 37 as at end of 2014.
The year also saw us strengthen our positioning in the affluent segment with the launch of our Maybank Premier Wealth Banking service that provide a differentiated banking experience focusing on a partnership in which the customers’ needs are our highest priority. As part of the Group regionalization drive, our Premier Wealth clients can enjoy a wide range of products as well as regional service recognition across Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Philippines.
With a local staff strength of more than 300, our human capital played an important role in delivering our results in 2014. A noteworthy achievement is our ability to attract top young and dynamic talents through our Maybank Group GO Ahead Challenge program. Selected young Cambodians will undergo a two year on-the-job rotation scheme as part of the Group Maybank Apprentice Program, which includes International Assignment to gain experience in Maybank Group’s international banking operations. From a nation building perspective, this program demonstrates Maybank’s commitment to develop home grown talents to contribute their expertise to develop the countries which Maybank has presence in.
We continue to make good strides in our Corporate Responsibility efforts with our award winning Maybank Child Sponsorship: A Way Out of the Dump initiative through another year of collaboration with the People Improvement Organisation. The employee volunteerism aspect was elevated with a new approach that challenged Maybankers’ volunteerism spirit and passion to a higher level of engagement in sustainable and meaningful initiatives for the community, as well as to enable Maybankers to embrace change.

Chairman’s Statement
The year also saw the expansion of the existing program to another level with the launch of the Maybank Vocational Sponsorship program to equip a selected group of students in dress-making to a level where they can gain employment as a dressmaker or start their own business. Such initiative is another testament to Maybank’s CR philosophy to invest in programs that empower communities to help them to flourish.
In addition, the “Maybank One Wish, Enriching Many Lives” initiative, which is premised on a CR concept aimed to grant the wish of eligible community
members in Cambodia who are faced with basic life difficulties or challenges was also launched. The initiative aims to reach out directly to the community members who need support to develop, improve or solve a problem within his/her community or has faced hardship and need support/help to rebuild their lives.
As we begin our journey in 2015, we’ve had a change in the leadership team with Mr. Lee Tien Poh leaving Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. on 1st March 2015 to take on a senior role within Maybank Group. Mr. Lee has played an important role during his tenor as CEO of Maybank Cambodia and has made significant contributions in laying a solid foundation for our Bank, our sincere thanks to him.
Succeeding the role as the new CEO of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. is Ms. Cynthia Liaw. Ms Liaw is an experienced consumer banker who has demonstrated her drive and leadership and has achieved many milestones in Singapore. The Board welcomes her and we are confident that she will continue our Bank’s growth momentum and bring our Bank to greater height in Cambodia.
I also welcome Mr. Soon Su Long, who joined as a director of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. on 31st March 2015. Mr. Soon’s appointment will enable our Bank to offer a coherent strategy in coordinating our business activities within the Indochina countries and ASEAN. His presence will enable our Bank to be best in class in delivering the right solutions and right products to our clients who need cross border banking services.
We look forward to the creation of the ASEAN Economic Community by the end of 2015 which represents a market of over 600 million people. As we are a part of the Maybank Group, with a diversified work force over 30 nationalities, Maybank Cambodia can leverage on the Group’s multi-cultural assets to excel in a liberalized ASEAN market. In particular, we help our customers here in Cambodia to grow their businesses in the ASEAN market leveraging on our network across the ASEAN Economic Community. Our people are also well versed in using technology for the delivery of new products and services to serve our growing customer base.
Once again, on behalf of the Board, I wish to thank all our stakeholders for their support, cooperation and assistance rendered to Maybank Cambodia. Special thanks to the National Bank of Cambodia and other regulatory authorities for the guidance and support. I envisage we will see more opportunities in 2015 and we can look forward to continued support and guidance from all stakeholders going forward.

DearShareholders,This is my first letter to you as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. I would first like to thank the Board and the Group Management team for giving me the opportunity to undertake this challenge and responsibility. At the same time, I am also very excited at the opportunity to demonstrate the growth possibilities that Maybank Cambodia can achieve. In this letter, I would like to share with you my thoughts on how we have performed in 2014, and our expectations for 2015.
REVIEW OF 2014 PERFORMANCE
In 2014, we were faced with the challenges of our lending margins under pressure, and a higher overheads from the initial investments in building up our franchise. Both challenges required us to focus on improving our productivity and cost management efforts.
Against this backdrop, our company was able to achieve a net profit of USD10.76 million, the highest since we first started our operations here two decades ago. We were able to deliver a commendable Return of Equity of 14.03%.
Our net interest income grew by 9.29% when compared to FY2013 mainly driven by higher loan growth showing a 29.60% y-o-y growth. With lending margins under pressure, our Net Interest Margin to Total Asset ratio had deteriorated to 3.41%, from last year of 4.03%.
Despite a challenging 2014, our company continued to deliver on key strengths built in the past years and the talent of more than 300 local Maybankers. Pursuing on our business expansion strategy and in building up our franchise in Cambodia, we have successfully opened another 5 new branches this year making our footprint to 21 branches, and 37 ATMs across the country. Our robust growth in our business franchise has translated to our business growth, which saw Gross Loans and Advances grew significantly by 29.60% to USD352.62 million from USD272.08 million in 2013. We were also able to capitalize on our bigger branch footprint and brand visibility to help strengthen our funding capability. As a result, our Customers’ Deposits grew higher by 21.70% to USD361.06 million in 2014 from USD296.68 million in 2013.
The expansion in our deposit volume can also be attributed to the launch of our Premier Wealth Banking service to cater for the growing affluent customer segment in this country, which is an indication of the value creation potential of this new business. This included the rollout of the first Maybank Premier Wealth Lounge at one of the newly opened branches at the vibrant BKK1 area, which introduces a differentiated and new level of banking experience for our customers. This is a testament to our philosophy of putting customer experience at the forefront of everything we do. Internally, we have also embarked

on various service improvement initiatives to equip our employees in delivering consistent customer experience in fundamental areas, including the launch of a service commitment to passionately create consistent customer delight.
Our ongoing productivity improvements and cost management efforts have also yielded some results with one of the key banking productivity indicators, Cost to Income Ratio remained marginally higher at 47.13% as against last year’s 46.64%. We expect this trend to improve over the coming years as we continue to adopt prudent cost management.
On asset quality, we take cognizance of the need to grow responsibly and the need to balance growth with preservation of asset quality. This effort is reflected in a lower non-performing loan ratio of 2.36% in 2014 when compared to last year’s 3.18%. This is a clear indication of the success of our on-going efforts in reinforcing the credit asset quality framework, ensuring loan origination quality as well as pursuing proactive prevention and recovery activities.
OUR OUTLOOK FOR 2015& HEADLINE KPIs
As with FY2014, we will continue to drive productivity improvements and cost management to ensure that we manage our overheads growth in a comfortable range vis-à-vis our net operating income.
Since coming on board as the new CEO on 1 March 2015, I am excited to embrace the challenges ahead amidst the positive economic growth prospects in Cambodia. My focus will be to continue to take Maybank Cambodia into the next phase of growth. For the past 3 years, we have focused much on capability building and putting in the necessary infrastructure and framework. Under the next growth phase, I am certainly delighted with our plans to roll out a variety of new banking products which will certainly bring new and enhanced banking experience to our customers here. Moving forward, our strategy is to leverage on technology to deliver innovative banking solutions to our customers, and to provide a better customer experience. It is indeed about building on Maybank’s strength of humanising financial services, having the right service solutions and providing convenience to customers through technology.
Some of the products and services lined up are our enhanced internet banking suite including the introduction of a mobile app, card and merchant acquiring business, treasury, cash management, enhanced remittances and third party financial products. On services, we will also be bringing in Saturday banking services and investment services. Our priorities will always be helping our customers and employees to grow - helping our customers to expand their business and to accumulate wealth, and helping our employees to acquire relevant knowledge and skills, so that they can be ready for the challenges in the banking and finance industry in the region, and not just for Cambodia.
I am also especially excited with the young and local talent of more than 300 employees whom I will be working with, including the few Cambodia top talents whom have joined us through the award winning innovative business case competition, Maybank GO Ahead Challenge. Central to all the business initiatives that we will be embarking on is the continuing development of the local talent to enable them to take on leadership roles both within Maybank Cambodia as well as regionally within our Maybank Group. There will be increased emphasis on improving our internal environment to promote continuous learning and transformation around high performance and productivity.
With these considerations in place, our guidance for FY2015 on key performance indicators are:
APPRECIATION
I wish to thank all Maybankers for their commitment and contribution to the performance of the Bank last year. I would also like to extend my deepest appreciation to our customers and shareholders for their continued trust, loyalty and support rendered in what has been a somewhat challenging year.
Finally, I would like to record our appreciation to Mr. Lee Tien Poh, the former CEO who has taken on a senior Group role since March 2015. We are especially thankful for his leadership in building up Maybank Cambodia’s capability and infrastructure since local incorporation in 2012. He has successfully built up market share and positioned the Bank for the next growth phase.
On behalf of the management team, I would also like to express our appreciation for the valuable guidance provided by the members of the Maybank Cambodia Board, as well as the National Bank of Cambodia and other regulatory bodies, and we look forward to continued support for the coming years as we bring Maybank Cambodia to great new heights.
Thank you.

McKinsey’s Three Paths to ProsperityMcKinsey Global Institute (MGI) suggests three potential drivers of returns for ASEAN companies, governments and investors: namely, globalisation, urbanisation and the deployment of disruptive technologies. Each is already a force, but could further significantly add to growth.
Capex Inflection PointASEAN’s capital expenditure (capex) as a share of GDP has only been gradually increasing, meaning that capex is driving growth. There is potential for capex to accelerate as free trade kick starts new capital investment and ASEAN’s accelerating capex cycle is in clear divergence of China’s decelerating capex cycle.
As an ASEAN regional financial services group, Maybank is positioned to benefit from the long term growth of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) from 2015.
Our presence in all 10 ASEAN countries places us in a favourable position to support and benefit from the ASEAN growth story as we deliver innovative solutions to our clients. Doing business in ASEAN is our strength as we have the heritage, talent and connections to capture market opportunities. We list down some of the reasons we are excited about the growth opportunities in ASEAN.

The ASEAN Opportunities Realising the potential for long term growth
M&As are on the riseMerger and Acquisitions (M&A) have risen in recent years in the lead up to the launch of the AEC. M&As are dominated particularly by non-cyclical sectors such as financial and consumer sectors. With financials arguably facing more regulatory scrutiny, the consumer segment is expected to continue to be a focus.
Intra-Regional FDI share risingThe chart shows the investment share percentage of foreign direct investment (FDI) that stays within the ASEAN region. In recent years, there has been a steady rise and one-fifth of all FDI share is now inter-ASEAN.
Increasing infrastructure needsUSD7 trillion will be needed by ASEAN economies infrastructure needs between 2014 and 2030, according to McKinsey Global Institute’s (MGI) estimates. Given strong urbanisation and demographic trends, such spending will need to occur to prevent growth from being curtailed by infrastructure bottlenecks.
Underleveraged balance sheetsThe ability to fund capex relies on both favourable demographics and under-leveraged balance sheets. ASEAN is under-leveraged, particularly Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Both of ASEAN’s capex and credit cycles have capacity to accelerate.

Prime savers ratio risingASEAN’s Prime Savers Ratio (those aged between 40-60 to the total population) is forecast to continue to rise. For 2010-30E, the rising trend of the Prime Savers and mid-young ratios in ASEAN economies has the potential to benefit from economic growth and financial market performance.
Potential for higher financial inclusionLow levels of financial inclusion still exist in many parts of ASEAN. However, with savings profile change, advancement in technology and adoption of mobile banking, financial inclusion should improve. The potential appears greatest in Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos and even the Philippines.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
We continue to leverage on technology and IT solution work tools to automate human capital management and development practices. Continuing from the launch of our myHR2u employee portal in 2013, the online Performance Management module was rolled out in 2014. This module automates the performance management process from goal setting to performance review, and increases visibility and transparency, allowing staff to better align their own goals with those of their supervision, team and Maybank as a whole.
TALENT & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We continue to increase the readiness of our talent and leadership pool as we accelerate our growth, expand business activities and increase our footprint in the country. We have a robust talent management framework that harnesses the right intellectual capital that resides in our young workforce and enables us to design suitable pipeline programs feeding into leadership roles. We deploy global best practice processes in identifying our talent pool, comparable to or better than top performing organisations worldwide.
We participated in the Group’s multi-level talent reviews, namely the Country Talent Review. These sessions play the critical role in spotting the right talents for the right roles as well as develop these potential talents via our various leadership acceleration programs. This is a clear demonstration of our commitment to raise the level of our Internal Talents to that of global levels while maintaining our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
We also offered junior development program and talent programs to nurture high potential junior talents for long term retention and to assume key positions in the Bank as well as the Region or Group. The most successful program includes the Global Maybank Apprentice Program, a 2-year on-the-job rotation program, including International Assignments to immerse in the Group’s global network operations. A dedicated coach and mentor are assigned to guide the Global Maybank Apprentices throughout their journey.
Prospective talents can also join Maybank via the Maybank Internship Program that provides opportunities to talented undergraduates to gain hands-on working experience and acquire skills to increase their graduate employability. A high percentage of interns enrolled for this program have been absorbed into permanent employment with the Bank.
Our multi-channel recruitment platforms such as the award winning innovative business case competition, Maybank GO Ahead Challenge (MGAC), have been effective platforms in drawing top talents in Cambodia to grow their career with Maybank. Maybank continues to trailblaze in the student competition arena with the offer of a one-of-a-kind challenge experience designed to excite, stretch and grow participants.
The 3rd edition of MGAC in 2014 delivered on its Bigger, Better and Bolder promise. Over 400 applications were received within a short 6-week application window, a 2-fold increase over 2013 and commendable 198% increase over 2012. Cambodia young talents participated alongside talents from participating countries that had increased from 10 in 2013 to 20 in 2014 – a great testimony of our Group globalisation efforts. Applications came from over 20 nationalities from the ASEAN region, US, UK, China and Hong Kong, Algeria, Spain, Mauritius, Maldives and Italy. The Group also received applications from countries like Russia, US, Kazakhstan and Myanmar for the first time.
For MGAC 2014, the Grand Finals were held in two cities, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta, for Challengers to experience Maybank’s regional footprint. Besides a cash prize, the winning team also had the opportunity to attend the Maybank STAR program in Shanghai, a leadership development program for the Top 50 leaders of Maybank Group to exchange ideas as well as learnings.

71% of those who joined the Bank from the previous MGACs and graduated from their studies have now joined Maybank Cambodia. MGAC will continue in 2015 as a platform that links bright minds in the region with the common goal of attaining a fruitful career in regional organisations. From a nation building perspective, MGAC demonstrates Maybank’s commitment to develop home grown talents to contribute their expertise to develop the countries which Maybank has presence in.
PERFORMANCE BASED REWARDS STRATEGY
As we transform our business, our total rewards strategy is linked to our business strategy to ensure profitability of the Bank to return value to shareholders as well as attract, retain and motivate our staff to enhance their skills, performance and career growth in the Bank. Our holistic approach to our rewards structure offers both monetary and non-monetary rewards. Basic pay is benchmarked against market to remain competitive as well as a wide range of staff benefits. Benefits include medical and health and work experience benefits such as flexible work arrangements, amongst others. We reward high performance aligned to our culture of meritocracy. Performance based rewards include variable bonus and long term incentive plan (i.e. our Cash-Settled Performance-Based Employee Share Scheme).
We have multiple other platforms to boost motivation and recognise staff for exemplary performance. These include recognition for top performance via our Maybank Awards Program 2014, namely best managers, executives, non-executives, top branch, top sales functions achievers, innovation, customer service, core value champion, corporate responsibility volunteers, spot award and career development opportunities. The performance awards culminated in a celebratory Maybank Tiger Roar Workshop and Awards Night that took place in early 2015.
In 2014, we also introduced a Staff Education Assistance scheme for staff from clerical category upwards undertaking various professional and postgraduate studies on a part-time basis. This scheme provide opportunities for our talents to gain academic qualifications in line with Maybank’s philoshopy of being a learning and knowledge-based organization, enabling our talents to learn and grow with the organization. We aim to develop talents who are committed to acquire knowledge, skills and capabilities to be future leaders and/or specialists, and promote continuous professional development.
Besides staff benefits offered under the Bank’s total rewards package, we also introduced a unique Maybank Staff Welfare Fund (emulating a similar model has been successfully implemented at the Group level for more than 20 years) that renders financial assistance to staff and family members suffering from sickness, accident and losses or damage of property due to natural disasters as well as cases that are not provided for or covered under any staff scheme provided by the Bank. The establishment of this Staff Welfare Fund, which comprises of voluntary donations from our staff, with a matching contribution from the Bank, further reinforces our aspiration as an Employer of Choice. The implementation of such a Fund is a first among all the Banks in Cambodia.
LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT
We continue to deploy best-in-class learning and development programmes to nurture our employees at all levels. Our structured integrated learning framework emphasises experiential learning to help our people develop greater passion for self-learning as well as provide them with a holistic learning programme. Aligned to Maybank’s Employer Value Proposition (EVP) “GO Ahead”, staff are encouraged to take personal ownership of their development by upgrading their skills, taking on expanded responsibilities, cross-rotational roles and international assignments. The learning activities during the year were focused on enhancing knowledge and skills to increase operational efficiency and service excellence, and expand certification of staff to successfully execute their role.
During the year, we rolled out a program to enhance the credit skills and close the competency gaps of the core credit staff across the Bank. The core credit staff were placed under a credit certification programme namely the, Credit Skills Assessment (CSA) by Omega and Maybank Internal Credit Accreditation Programme (MICAP) by Group Credit & Risk Management. Over 70% of our core credit staff from across the Bank who enrolled in these program have received their Credit Certification while the remaining 30% are currently undergoing the program.
WORKPLACE & WELL-BEING
We organize activities that promote physical and emotional well-being and healthy lifestyles. Health and wellness activities are yearly initiatives to promote a healthy lifestyle among our staff. In 2014, a Maybank Sport Program was launched, consisting of a series of competition that took place throughout the year. Three sporting events (futsal, badminton and table tennis) were offered for all staff to participate, either as individuals or teams. This program was successful in promoting team spirit and relationship among our staff. One other program that benefitted our staff was the health talk by a specialist in the medical profession, organized in collaboration with DKSH.
For the first time, we also sent our futsal team to participate in the Maybank Group Sports Carnival which had over 2,000 Maybankers from across the Region competing in various outdoor games. Such event is an important platform to promote team spirit, a sense of belonging and foster unity across the Group.

Human Resource
With a work-life business approach, staff are more productive. In 2014, we launched a Flexible Work Arrangement policy which allows a fixed flexible schedule at the workplace. This policy empowers our staff to manage and optimize their working hours without affecting their business and personal commitments. Such support mechanism will help ensure work-life balance is attained successfully for both the Bank as well as our staff.
STAFF VOLUNTEERISM: INSPIRING MEANING & SUSTAINABILITY
The Cahaya Kasih (CK) Volunteerism Programme is Maybank’s flagship volunteer programme where staff volunteer their time and expertise to bring about positive change and difference to the communities they engage with where Maybank has presence. During the year, over 300 volunteers spent over 2,000 volunteer hours on the CK Challenge and other activities. Their passion for volunteerism is evident from their active participation in the Bank’s Cahaya Kasih Volunteerism Programmes, namely the CK Challenge sustainable initiatives and Maybank Global CR Day.
Our Global CR Day saw our Maybankers from across the world, including in Cambodia creating a visible ‘force of good’. The 5th Global CR Day 2014, themed
‘Inspiring Global Communities’, chalked milestones in terms of participation and range of initiatives undertaken across our Maybank Group. A record of 24,971 staff participated worldwide, an increase of 6.2% over 2013. Man-hours clocked also increased to 129,921 (over 92,000 in 2013).
In 2014, we continued to participate in the second cycle of the Group CK Challenge with sustainable initiatives implemented that are aligned with Maybank Foundation’s CR Pillars namely, Community Empowerment, Education, Healthy Living, Environmental Diversity and Arts & Culture. For 2014, Maybank Cambodia has focused on its long-term child sponsorship program with the People Improvement Organisation. We also launched the very first “Maybank One Wish, Enriching Many Lives” program in early 2015. Our commitment in driving CR and employee volunteerism earned us the Maybank Group Best CR Educational Initiative Award for 2014.
DIVERSITY, INCLUSIVITY & GENDER POLICY
As a regional organisation with staff of over 30 nationalities, we value diversity and differences and tap on them for experience and creativity to give us a broader range of competence, skills and experiences to enhance our capabilities to achieve business results. Our Diversity and Inclusion Policy governs all aspects of employment practices and activities, ensuring there is no discrimination or harassment, and is based on the rule of meritocracy. The principles of this policy are embedded in our HR strategy, policies and practices from recruitment to training, rewards and compensation to promotion, resignation, training, wellness and recreational activities and corporate responsibility initiatives amongst others as reported in this section. The policy is also practiced in our business relationship with all stakeholders.
We continue to advance our women agenda year-on-year to enable women to accelerate their development and enhance performance while successfully balancing the demands of career and personal life. Apart from the many programmes we have to create an enabling environment such as the flexible work arrangements.
We seek to empower our workforce with the knowledge and
skills needed…

Financial Review
Maybank (Cambodia) Plc has again achieved a record year with a net profit of USD10.76 million and a Return on Equity of 14.03% despite a challenging year. During the year under review, we were faced with the challenges of seeing our lending margins under pressure, and also from higher overheads contributed mainly by the initial investments made to build-up our franchise and presence across the country.
Despite a 29.60% Year-on-Year (YoY) gross loans growth, Net Interest Income grew at a slower pace of 9.29% mainly attributable to the lending margins coming under pressure; with the Bank’s Net Interest Margin (NIM) registering a drop to 3.41% from last year’s 4.03%. We expect that lending margins will continue to remain under pressure on the back of aggressive lending growth amongst the financial institutions.
Taking cognisant of the loans market conditions, we have placed focus on our fee based income contributions. As a result, the Bank’s Net Fee & Commission Income grew significantly by 24.17%; contributed by higher service charges and trade finance income.
During the year, Overhead expenses increased by 12.49% YoY outpacing the growth of Net Operating Income of 11.33% YoY. Higher overhead expenses came mainly from our network expansion plan and capacity/infrastructure building post-incorporation of the Bank. We have initiated, and will continue to drive productivity improvements and cost management to ensure that we manage our overheads growth in a comfortable range vis-à-vis our net operating income. As a result, Cost-to-Income Ratio grew marginally to 47.13% when compared to last year’s 46.64%.
Loans growth led by preservation of asset quality
A better loans recovery effort contributed to improved provision for loans loss which registered a net reversal of provision of USD347,114 and a bad debt recovery of USD534,232. As stringent controls are in place to ensure preservation of asset quality, our asset quality continued to improve with NPL Ratio registering a drop to 2.36% when compared to last year’s 3.18%.

These solid results are testament to our strong franchise and our strategy of keeping focused on delivering on our Group regional strategy and growth of our business whilst managing our efficiency and capital position.
Financial Review
KEY RATIO INDICATORS FY2014 FY2013
Net Interest Margin (%) 3.41% 4.03%
Return on Equity (%) 14.03% 14.84%
Return on Asset (%) 1.80% 2.12%
Fee to Income Ratio (%) 15.26% 13.68%
Cost to Income Ratio (%) 47.13% 46.64%
Loan-to-Deposit Ratio (%) 97.66% 91.71%
Asset Quality
NPL Ratio (%) 2.36% 3.18%
Capital Adequacy
Solvency Ratio 18.99% 21.98%
The Bank’s Total Assets grew by 29.31% to USD596.86 million as at 31 December 2014; mainly contributed by higher Gross Loans and Advances which registered a growth of 29.60% YoY to USD352.62 million.
Deposit growth supported by larger footprint and better brand visibility
Customers’ Deposits grew by 21.70% to USD361.06 million as we continued to capitalise on our larger footprints (branch network, ATM and Internet Banking) and better brand visibility. The growth in customers’ deposits came from both CASA and fixed deposits; growing by USD34.51 million and USD29.86 million respectively. The banking sector also saw increased competition for deposits funding amongst the financial institutions. The higher competition has resulted in our CASA ratio deteriorated slightly to 57.49% (vs 58.33% in FY2013), and registering a higher Loans-to-Deposits ratio to 97.66% from last year’s 91.71%.
Capital adequacy remained satisfactory
The key measure of capital adequacy is the Solvency Ratio which is based on Net Worth to aggregate credit risk exposure of not less than 15% as per regulatory requirement. As at 31 December 2014, our Solvency Ratio remained adequately capitalized at 18.99%. We will seek to maintain an adequate level of capital to support the underlying risk of the business, to optimize growth and to withstand capital demands.
Improved asset quality
Our asset quality continued to improve with NPL ratio standing at 2.36% when compared to 3.18% in 2013.
2015 OUTLOOK
Amidst the continued tougher lending and funding environment, interest margin is expected to be under continuing pressure as banks continue with their aggressive lending assets growth. We will continue to seek ways to diversify and add more contribution from fee based income component, by leveraging on our new products offering, and from our cross border presence across the ASEAN region.
As with FY2014, we intend to continue driving productivity improvements and cost management to ensure that we manage our overheads growth in a comfortable range vis-à-vis our net operating income.

Statement on Corporate Governance
INTRODUCTION
The Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. Board believes that good corporate governance should not be a mere statement of compliance, and is committed to achieving the highest standards of business integrity, ethics and professionalism across all of the Bank’s activities. With this commitment and in line with the Group’s regional aspirations in humanising financial services, the Board aims to enhance business prosperity and foster a culture with ethical values, whilst continuously delivering and sustaining the Bank’s value propositions for the benefit of its stakeholders locally and internationally.
The Board’s key and overriding approach in this regard is to ensure that the right executive leadership, strategy and internal controls for risk management are well in place. The Board also continuously reviews its governance model to ensure its relevance, effectiveness and ability to meet the challenges of the future.
This Corporate Governance Statement seeks to provide vital insights into the corporate governance practices of the Group to the investors. The Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s corporate governance model adopts the following requirements and guidelines:-
1. National Bank of Cambodia’s (“NBC”) Prakas on Governance in Banks and Financial Institutions
2. Maybank Group’s Corporate Governance Model
Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s corporate governance model is ultimately designed to preserve and enhance shareholders’ value through a system of rules, practices and processes that balances the interests of the Bank’s stakeholders. Apart from complying with the stated local requirements and guidelines, the Bank also monitors developments in corporate governance standards of leading and reputable organisations and institutions in the region and around the world to ensure that its own highest standards of corporate governance are upheld.

Statement on Corporate Governance
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Board Charter
In recognition that robust and well thought-out corporate governance practices are essential to safeguard the interests of the Bank’s stakeholders, the Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. Board is guided by the Board Manual (Manual) in respect of the Board’s role, powers, duties and functions.
The Manual not only reflects the current best practices and the applicable rules and regulations, it also outlines processes and procedures to ensure the Bank’s board and their committees’ effectiveness and efficiency. It is a dynamic document to be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the Bank’s policies, procedures and processes as well as amended relevant rules and regulations.
The Manual comprises, amongst others, well defined terms of reference as well as authority limits for the Board and its committees, and the various relevant internal policies.
The chapters covered under the Manual are as follows:-
1. Bank’s standard of business conduct;
2. Directors’ duties and obligations;
3. Appointment and resignation of Directors;
4. Governance structure;
5. Board and board committee proceedings;
6. Remuneration and benefits for Directors;
7. Supply of information to the Board;
8. Training and induction programmes;
9. Annual Board assessment;
10. Conflict of interest and related party transactions; and
11. Other key policies of Maybank and the Bank.
Roles and Responsibilities of the Board
The business and affairs of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. are managed under the direction and oversight of the Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. Board, which also has the responsibility to periodically review and approve the overall strategies, business, organisation and significant policies of the Bank.
The Board also sets the Bank’s core values, adopts proper standards to ensure that Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. operates with integrity, and complies with the relevant rules and regulations.
The Board has a formal schedule of matters reserved for its decision which include, amongst others, the following:-
• ReviewingandapprovingthestrategiesandbusinessplansforMaybank(Cambodia)Plc. to ensure that they are aligned with the Bank’s Vision and Mission;
• IdentifyingandmanagingprincipalrisksaffectingtheBankincludingestablishingand approving the relevant policies for the prevention of money laundering, and anti- competitive practices;

• Approvingpoliciesrelatingtocorporatebranding,publicrelations,investorrelationsand shareholder communication programmes; and

Other than as specifically reserved to the Board in the Board’s Terms of Reference, as documented in the Manual, responsibility for managing Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s business activities is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc., who is accountable to the Board.
Board Composition and Balance
There are currently 6 Directors on the Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. Board. Three are Independent Non-Executive Directors, three are Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors.
The present composition of the Board is in compliance with NBC’s regulations as at least two of its members are Independent Directors.
The Directors provide a wealth of knowledge, experience and skills in the key areas of accountancy, law, securities, international business operations and development, finance and risk management, amongst others. A brief profile of each member of the Board is presented on pages 32 to 35 of this Annual Report.
Diversity and Inclusiveness
The Board is committed to ensuring diversity and inclusiveness in its composition and deliberations and the Group embraces the proposition that having a diverse Board would have a positive, value-relevant impact on the Group. In this regard, the Board considers diversity from a number of different aspects, including gender, age, cultural and educational background, ethnicity, nationalities, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service.
Directors’ Independence and Independent Non-Executive Directors
The current Board composition, which comprises a high proportion of Non-Executive Directors, helps the Board to ensure and provide strong and effective oversight over management. Non-Executive Directors do not participate in the day-to-day management of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. and do not engage in any business dealing or other relationships with Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. (other than in situations permitted by the applicable regulations) in order to ensure that they remain truly capable of exercising independent judgment and act in the best interests of the Bank and its shareholders. Further, the Board is satisfied and assured that no individual or group of Directors has unfettered powers of decision that could create a potential conflict of interest. Additionally, none of Maybank’s Independent Non-Executive Directors has more than a 5% equity interest in the licensed institution or in its related companies, and none of them is connected to a substantial shareholder of the licensed institution.
The Non-Executive Directors of Maybank continue to proactively engage with senior management and other relevant parties such as the external/internal auditors as well as Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s Compliance and Risk units, to ensure that the various concerns and issues relevant to the management and oversight of the business and operations of the Bank are properly addressed. The Board’s commitment to ensure good governance in its deliberation on key issues is evident with the scheduling of “Board Time Without Management”
The Board ensures that all Non-Executive Directors possess the following qualities:-
• Abilitytochallengetheassumptions,beliefsorviewpointsofotherswithintelligent questioning, constructive and rigorous debating, and dispassionate decision-making in the interest of Maybank;
• Willingnesstostandupanddefendtheirownviews,beliefsandopinionsfortheultimate good of Maybank; and
• AgoodunderstandingofMaybank(Cambodia)Plc.’sbusinessactivitiesinorderto appropriately provide responses to the various strategic and technical issues confronted by the Board.
Directors’ Independence Policy
The Bank’s Directors’ Independence Policy summarises Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s approach in determining directors’ independence. It provides a guideline for the Board in the assessment of independence of each Independent Director.
Consistent with the Bank’s Directors’ Independence Policy, the Board via the Group Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“NRC”), where applicable, assesses the independence of Independent Directors upon his/her appointment and re-appointment. The tenure of service for Independent Directors has been capped at the maximum of nine years whereby upon completion of such tenure, the Independent Director may continue to serve on the Board subject to re-designation as Non-Independent Director. In exceptional circumstances, the shareholders may decide that an Independent Director can remain beyond the cumulative term of nine years, subject to the Group NRC’s assessment (where applicable), Board’s recommendation as well as strong justification be provided to the shareholders at a general meeting. The Board noted that currently none of its independent members has reached the nine years cumulative term in Maybank.
The Group NRC undertakes the independence assessment via the Board and Peer Annual Assessment as well as Fit and Proper Assessment exercises taking into accounts the directors’ skills, experience, contributions, background, economic and family relationships, tenure of directorship and the Independent Directors’ self-declaration on their compliance with the independence criteria under the Bank’s Policy on Directors’ Independence.

Identification of candidates
Evaluation of suitability of candidates
Meeting up with candidates
Final deliberation by Group NRC
Recommendation to Board
The Group NRC determines the ability of the Independent Director to continue bringing independent and objective judgment to the board deliberations as well as considers if there is any ground or reason that has come to the attention of the Group NRC that may affect the independence status of the Independent Directors of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.
The Board considers that the three Independent Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), namely Mr Cheah Teik Seng, Datuk R. Karunakaran and Mr Spencer Lee meet the said independence criteria under the Bank’s Policy on Directors’ Independence.
Board Appointment Process
A formal and transparent procedure is in place vis-à-vis the appointment of new Directors to the Board, the primary responsibility of which has been delegated to the Group NRC. Such responsibilities include screening, conducting initial selection of internal and external candidates, performing requisite evaluation and assessment on the candidates’ ability to discharge their duties effectively and efficiently, prior to making recommendations to the Board for its approval. The Group NRC also ensures candidates possess the appropriate skills, core competencies, experience, integrity and time to effectively discharge his or her role as a director.
This procedure is in line with the Bank’s Fit and Proper Policy which has been in force since August 2013 which would be revised and amended from time to time to incorporate new provisions as required under the NBC Prakas on Fit and Proper Criteria. In accordance with this procedure, the Group NRC recommends to the Board suitable candidates for directorships of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.
The Fit and Proper Policy, which sets out the attributes and qualifications required of a candidate to determine his/her suitability, include amongst others, requirements in respect of his/her management and leadership experience, which has to be at the most senior level in a reputable local or international financial services group, public corporation or professional firm/body. In relation to the candidate’s skills, expertise and background, the candidate should ideally and to the extent available, possess a diverse range of skills, including in particular, business, legal and financial expertise, professional knowledge and financial industry experience, as well as experience in regional and international markets. The Fit and Proper Policy also assists in identifying the gaps in skills in the composition of the Board.
The following aspects would be considered by the Board in making the selection, with the assistance of the Group NRC:-
1. Probity, personal integrity and reputation – the person must have key qualities such as honesty, integrity, diligence, independence of mind and fairness.
2. Competence and capability – the person must have the necessary skills, ability and commitment to carry out the role.
3. Financial integrity – the person must manage his debts or financial affairs prudently.
The Policy on the Nomination Process for the Appointment of Chairman, Director and CEO of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. (Policy on Nomination Process) sets out a clear and transparent nomination process of the same, which involves the following five stages:-
The application for the appointment of such candidates is thereafter submitted to NBC for the requisite approval under the Prakas on Fit and Proper Regulatory Requirements for Applying Entities and Licensed Banks and Financial Institutions.
The Bank also conducts annual assessments on the suitability of the Directors to continuously occupy their strategic leadership position subsequent to the appointment process, in accordance with the Bank’s Fit and Proper Policy. The fit and proper assessment involves self-declaration by the Directors as well as independent checks on their business interests to ensure the suitability of the Directors to continue to serve as directors of Maybank.
Succession Plan
The Fit and Proper Policy which was first introduced in 2013 outlines the general limitation on the tenure of directorships for Non-Executive Directors of Maybank who have reached the age of 70 and above, and/or have served the Board for 12 years or more. Such directors may however, continue to serve the Board once the Board has evaluated and assessed their suitability. Subsequently, the Bank’s Policy on Tenure of Directorship (Tenure Policy) was recently established to incorporate both the relevant provisions on tenure of directorships as provided for in the Bank’s Fit and Proper Policy and Directors’ Independence Policy to better articulate the Bank’s policy on limiting the tenure of Non-Executive Directors on the Board of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.
Appointments on the Board are not considered in isolation but as a component of the Board’s succession plan. In this context, the limitations on age and tenure of directorship as described in the Tenure Policy provides the Board with the opportunity to consider and reassess its succession plan periodically, not only to ensure continuity in meeting its long term goals and objectives but also to affirm that the knowledge, experience and skill sets of its members would be well suited to meet the demands of the ever changing landscape of the financial industry.
With the assistance of the Group NRC (where applicable), the curriculum vitae of prospective candidates would from time to time, be discreetly obtained from various internal and external sources (including institutions which maintain salient details on directors with financial industry background) for further review, to ensure that the Board would always have a steady pool of talent to choose from whenever there is a need to appoint additional members on the Board or otherwise, to replace a member who is retiring or resigning from the Board.
Directors’ Retirement, Re-Election and Re-Appointment
All directors of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. are subject to re-election by the shareholders at least once every three years in accordance with Articles 27 of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Board’s support for a Director’s re-election is not automatic and is subject to satisfactory assessment of performance.
Mr. Cheah Teik Seng, Mr Spencer Lee and Mr. Hamirullah Boorhan, each of whom are due for re-election pursuant to Article 27 of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s Memorandum and Articles of Association would be seeking re-election at the forthcoming AGM.
As evaluated and approved by the Board, all of these directors have all met the Board’s expectations and continued to perform in an exemplary manner as demonstrated by among others, their contribution to the Board’s deliberations and the Board would accordingly recommend to the shareholders their respective re-elections on the Board.
Board and Individual Director’s Effectiveness
The Group NRC follows a formal and transparent process to assess the effectiveness of individual Directors, the Board as a whole and its committees, as well as the performance of the CEO (based on his Balanced Scorecard) in respect of their respective skills and experience, pursuant to the Board and Peer Annual Assessment exercise. This is undertaken upon the completion of every financial year.
The Board and Peer Annual Assessment exercise is primarily based on answers to a detailed questionnaire prepared internally by Corporate & Legal Services of Maybank incorporating applicable best practices. The assessment questionnaire is distributed to all the respective Board members and covers topics which include, amongst others, the responsibilities of the Board in relation to strategic planning, risk management, performance management, financial reporting, audit and internal process, human capital management, corporate social responsibility, communication, corporate governance, and shareholders’ interest and value. Other areas being assessed include Board composition and size, the contribution of each and every member of the Board at meetings, the Board’s decision-making and output, information and support rendered to the Board.

Statement on Corporate Governance
The Assessment requires actionable improvement programmes to be identified, upon review of the results of the Board and committee assessment by the Group NRC (where applicable) and the Board. Such programmes may include training needs of individual Directors. The Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the Group NRC (where applicable) discuss with individual members on areas of performance improvement.
Having considered its composition, calibre and diversity, the Board must be satisfied that it will continue to ensure an efficient and effective conduct of deliberations. The current Board size enables the Board to discharge its function in a professional manner in consideration of the composition, breadth and complexity of the Bank’s business activities, domestically and internationally. Future changes to the Board may be made to enhance complementarity of skills and at the same time enable proper succession planning.
As ever, the Chairman will always try to ensure that the Board’s decisions are reached by consensus (and failing this, reflect the will of the majority), and any concern or dissenting view expressed by any Director on any matter deliberated at meetings of the Board, or any of its Committees, as well as the meetings’ decisions, will accordingly be addressed and duly recorded in the relevant minutes of the meeting.
Role and Responsibilities of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer
The roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and the CEO are separated with a clear division of responsibilities, defined, documented and approved by the Board, in line with best practices so as to ensure appropriate supervision of the Management. This distinction allows for a better understanding and distribution of jurisdictional responsibilities and accountabilities. The clear hierarchical structure with its focused approach and attendant authority limits also facilitates efficiency and expedites informed decision-making.
Chairman
Mr Cheah Teik Seng has been the Chairman of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. since 5 April 2012.
The Chairman leads the Board and is also responsible for the effective performance of the Board. He continuously works together with the rest of the Board in setting the policy framework and strategies to align the business activities driven by the senior management with the Bank’s objectives and aspirations, and monitors its implementation, and also ensures orderly conduct and proceedings of the Board, where healthy debate on issues being deliberated is encouraged to reflect an appropriate level of scepticism and independence.
He takes the lead to ensure the appropriateness and effectiveness of the succession planning programme for the Board and senior management levels. He also promotes a healthy working relationship with the CEO and provides the necessary support and advice as appropriate. He continues to demonstrate the highest standards of corporate governance practices and ensures that these practices are regularly communicated to the stakeholders.
The CEO
Ms Cynthia Liaw Yen Lin has been appointed as the CEO of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. on 1 March 2015.
Ms Cynthia has been delegated certain responsibilities by the Board in her capacity as CEO and is primarily accountable for overseeing the day-to-day operations to ensure the smooth and effective running of the Bank.
Furthermore, she is responsible for mapping the medium to longer term plans for Board approval, and is accountable for implementing the policies and decisions of the Board, as well as coordinating the development and implementation of business and corporate strategies, specifically by making sure that they are carried through to their desired outcomes, especially in the institution of remedial measures to address identified shortcomings. She is also responsible for developing and translating the strategies into a set of manageable goals and priorities, and setting the overall strategic policy and direction of the business operations, investment and other activities based on effective risk management controls.
The CEO ensures that the financial management practice is performed at the highest level of integrity and transparency for the benefit of the shareholders and that the business and affairs of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. are carried out in an ethical manner and in full compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
The CEO is also tasked with ensuring that whilst the ultimate objective is maximising total shareholder return, social and environmental factors are not neglected, and also developing and maintaining strong communication programmes and dialogues with the shareholders, investors, analysts as well as employees, and providing effective leadership to the Bank organisation. She is also responsible for ensuring high management competency as well as the emplacement of an effective management succession plan to sustain continuity of operations. The CEO also functions as the intermediary between the Board and senior management.
Board Meetings
The Board meets on quarterly basis, with additional meetings convened as and when urgent issues and/or important decisions are required to be addressed between the scheduled meetings. During the financial year ended 31 December 2014, the Board met 5 times to deliberate and consider a variety of significant matters that required its guidance and approval.
All Directors have complied with the requirement that Directors must attend at least 75% of Board meetings held in the financial year in accordance with NBC’s Prakas on Governance in Banks and Financial Institutions.

The Board believes that one area that the Board needs to focus on in order to remain effective in the discharge of its duties and responsibilities is the setting of a fair and comprehensive remuneration package that commensurate with the expertise, skills, responsibilities and the risks of being a director of a financial institution.
The determination of remuneration packages for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) including the non-executive Chairman is a matter for the Board as a whole following the relevant recommendation made by the Group NRC after independent benchmarking with relevant external peers.
The component parts of remuneration of the Executive Director are structured so as to link short and long-term rewards to corporate and individual performance.
A significant portion of the Executive Director’s compensation package has been made variable in nature depending on the Bank’s performance during the year, which is determined based on the individual Key Performance Indicators and a scorecard aligned with the corporate objectives, and approved by the Board.
In line with good corporate governance, the Board has set out its intention to periodically review the NEDs remuneration for Maybank and its group of companies at least once every three years.
Quality and Supply of Information to the Board
The Board has full and unrestricted access to all information pertaining to Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s businesses and affairs as well as to the advice and services of the senior management of the Bank. In addition to formal Board meetings, the Chairman maintains regular contact with the CEO to discuss specific matters, and the latter assisted by the Corporate Secretary ensures that frequent and timely communication between the senior management and the Board is maintained at all times as appropriate.
The Board is regularly kept up to date on and apprised of any regulations and guidelines, as well as any amendments thereto issued by the National Bank of Cambodia and other relevant regulatory authorities.
The Annual Board Outline Agenda serves as a mechanism to highlight to the Board and relevant Board Committees as well as the senior management subject matters other than ‘routine’ for the period to facilitate better planning and for greater time effectiveness for various parties. It also gives a greater sense of discipline on the part of senior management to commit to the said outline. Concurrently, such focus allows the Board to deliberate on and contribute towards achieving a higher level of value-added discussions on such identified issues and other relevant matters.
An agenda together with appropriate papers for each agenda item to be discussed is forwarded to each Director in advance before the scheduled meeting to enable the Directors to review the papers in preparation for the meeting, and to obtain further clarification or explanation, where necessary, in order to be adequately apprised before the meeting.
Additionally, Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s minutes of meetings of the Board and various Board Committees incorporate the discussions of the members at the meetings in arriving at decisions and are concise and accurate. The draft minutes of the meeting are circulated to the Board for early feedback and suggestions prior to tabling at the subsequent meetings for formal confirmation.
Senior management members are invited to attend Board meetings to report on matters relating to their areas of responsibility, and also to brief and present details to the Directors on recommendations submitted for the Board’s consideration. Additional information or clarification may be required to be furnished, particularly in respect of complex and technical issues tabled to the Board. In order to ensure that board papers are of the highest quality and prepared in accordance with best practice requirements and within the expectations of the Board, Directors are given an avenue to provide feedback during each Board meeting to rate the quality of the papers and that of the session discussing the papers.
Corporate Secretary
In her function as the Corporate Secretary, the Head of Corporate Affairs & Services and Corporate Secretary is responsible for advising the Board on issues relating to corporate compliance with the relevant laws, rules, procedures and regulations affecting the Board and the Bank, as well as best practices of governance. She is also responsible for advising the Directors of their obligations and duties to disclose their interest in securities, disclosure of any conflict of interest in a transaction involving Maybank (Cambodia) Plc., prohibition on dealing in securities and restrictions on disclosure of price-sensitive information. All Directors have access to the advice and services of the Corporate Secretary.
Independent Professional Advice
Independent professional advice can be obtained by any Individual Directors, at Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s expense where necessary, in the furtherance of their duties in accordance with Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.’s Policy and Procedure on Access to Independent Professional
Advice, Senior Management and Corporate Secretary by Directors of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. Copies of any reports, advice and recommendations provided by the independent professional adviser to the relevant Director would be forwarded by the said Director to the Corporate Secretary, who will, where appropriate, circulate them to other Directors to ensure that they are kept informed of pertinent issues, which may have an impact on the Bank’s interest, growth and performance.
Directors’ Training
The Board acknowledges the importance of continuing education for its Directors to ensure they are equipped with the necessary skill and knowledge to perform their functions and meet the challenges of the Board. For the year under review, the Board members have attended training programmes and workshops organised by the Maybank Group for its Directors across all the group of companies.
An induction programme for new Directors is developed and coordinated by Corporate & Legal Services to provide new Directors with the necessary information and overview to assist them in understanding the Bank’s operations and appreciating the challenges and issues the Bank faces in achieving its objectives. The programme covers subject matters, amongst others, concerning the Bank’s business and strategy, work processes and Board Committees, as well as the duties and responsibilities of Directors of licensed institutions.
The Board continues to assess the training needs of its Directors vide the Board Assessment and identify key areas of focus for training programmes.
BOARD PROFESSIONALISM
Directorships in Other Companies
Each member of the Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. Board holds not more than five directorships in public listed companies to enable the Directors to discharge their duties effectively by ensuring that their commitment, resources and time are more focused.
Whilst the Board values the experience and perspective gained by the Non-Executive Directors from their memberships on the boards of other companies, organisations, and associations, the Board Manual provides that the Non-Executive Directors must first consult the Chairman to ensure that their acceptance of such other appointments, such as directorships of other listed companies, would not unduly affect their time commitments and responsibilities to the Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. Board.
The Group NRC assesses the independence of the Independent Non-Executive Directors who hold directorships in licensed subsidiaries in the Maybank Group, pursuant to a declaration made that they are not taking instructions from any person including Maybank.
Conflict of Interest
Members of the Board are required to make a declaration at the Board meeting in the event that they have interests in proposals being considered by the Board, including where such interest arises through close family members, in line with various statutory requirements on the disclosure of Director’s interest. In all situations where the Directors could be deemed as interested, they would excuse themselves from the discussion and leave the meeting room. The minutes of meeting would also reflect as such.
BOARD COMMITTEES
Delegation of certain of its governance responsibilities has been undertaken by the Board in favour of its Board Committees, which operate within clearly defined terms of references, primarily to assist the Board in the execution of its duties and responsibilities. Although the Board has granted such discretionary authority to these Board Committees to deliberate and decide on certain key and operational matters, the ultimate responsibility for final decision on all matters lies with the entire Board. The Chairmen of the Board Committees will table and present a report on the activities of the respective Board Committees at the quarterly Board meetings.
The Board Committees of the Maybank Board are as follows:-
1. Audit Committee
2. Risk Management Committee
Audit Committee
The Board authorises the Audit Committee to investigate any activities within its Terms of Reference and has unrestricted access to both the internal and external auditors and members of the senior management of the Bank.
The activities carried out by the Audit Committee, which met 4 times during the year under review, are summarised in the Audit Committee Report and its Terms of Reference as stated on page 69 of this Annual Report. Members of the Audit Committee are as indicated on page 69 of this Annual Report.

Statement on Risk Management & Internal Control
Financial year ended 31 December 2014
INTRODUCTION
This Statement on Internal Control is made pursuant to Prakas on Internal Control of Bank and Financial Institution issued by the National Bank of Cambodia which requires the Board of Directors (“Board”) to include in its Company Annual Report a statement about the state of internal control. The statement should describe the Bank’s Internal Control System and the corresponding policies, procedures and mechanisms. Such statement shall also assess the effectiveness of the Internal Control System in light of business growth and diversification and changes occurred in the Bank.
Accordingly, the Board is pleased to provide the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control (“Statement”) that has been prepared in accordance with the Prakas on Internal Control of Bank and Financial Institution issued by the National Bank of Cambodia which outlines the processes adopted by the Board in reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management and internal control system of the Bank.
Board Responsibility
The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility in establishing a sound risk management framework and internal control system as well as reviewing its adequacy and effectiveness. The Board is of the view that the risk management framework and internal control system are designed to manage the Bank’s risks within the acceptable risk appetite, rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the business goals and objectives. It can therefore only provide reasonable, rather than absolute assurance against material financial misstatement fraud and loss.
The Board has established a governance structure to ensure effective oversight of risk and control in the Bank. The Board is satisfied that the Bank has implemented an ongoing process to identify, evaluate, monitor, manage and respond to significant risks faced by the Bank in its achievement of the business goals and objectives and in consideration of the changes in the business environment and regulatory requirements. The outcome of this process is closely monitored and reported to the Board for deliberation. This on-going process has been in place for the entire financial year under review and up to the date of approval of this Statement for inclusion in the Annual Report.
Management Responsibility
The Management is overall responsible for implementing the Board’s policies and procedures on risks and controls and its roles include:
• Identifyingandevaluatingtherisksfaced,andtheachievementofbusinessobjectives and strategies;
• Formulatingrelevantpoliciesandprocedurestomanagetheserisks;
• Designing,implementing,andmonitoringtheeffectiveimplementationofrisk management framework and internal control system;
• ImplementingthepoliciesapprovedbytheBoard;
• Implementingtheremedialactionstoaddressthecompliancedeficienciesasdirectedby the Board; and
• ReportinginatimelymannertotheBoardanychangestotherisksandcorrective actions taken.
Risk Management and Internal Control Structure
The key processes that the Board have established in reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management framework and internal control system include the following:
Risk Management Framework
• Clear line of Responsibility, Authority and Accountability
The Board has established an organisation structure with clearly defined lines of responsibility, authority limits, and accountability aligned to business and operations requirements which support the maintenance of a strong control environment.
• Oversight by Risk Management Committee (RMC)
The Board has also delegated the responsibility of reviewing the effectiveness of risk management to the RMC. The effectiveness of the risk management system is monitored and evaluated by the Credit & Risk Management (CRM) function, on an ongoing basis. The RMC assists the Board to review and oversee the effectiveness of the risk management of the Bank, wherein the CRM function would facilitate the continuous monitoring and evaluating of the Bank’s risk management system. Any approved policy and framework formulated to identify, measure and monitor various risk components would be reviewed and recommended by the RMC to the Board. Additionally, the RMC reviews and assesses the adequacy of these risks management policies and ensures infrastructure, resources and systems are emplaced for risk management.
• Bank Aligned Risk Governance Structure
The risk governance structure is aligned across all the business units through the streamlining of the risk frameworks, policies and organisation structures to enhance the risk management and risk culture.
• Updates and Communication of Risk Management Principle, Policies, Procedures and Practices
Risk management principles, policies, procedures and practices are reviewed and updated regularly to ensure relevance to the current business environment as well as compliance with current/applicable laws and regulations. These updates are communicated and made available to all employees. The Bank also adopted a whistle blowing policy, providing an avenue for employees to report actual or suspected malpractice, misconduct or violations of the Bank’s policies and regulations in a safe and confidential manner.
• Written Control Policies
A written Management Control Policy (MCP) and Internal Control Policy (ICP) from Management are in place. The MCP outlines the specific responsibilities of the various parties i.e. the Management, the Internal Audit Committee (IAC) and the Audit Committee of the Board (ACB) pertaining to internal control. The ICP is to create awareness among all the employees with regards to the internal control components and the basic control policy.
• Anti-Fraud Policy
There is an Anti-Fraud Policy implemented. The policy provides broad principles, strategy and policy for the Bank to adopt in relation to fraud in order to promote high standard of integrity. The Framework establishes robust and comprehensive programmes and controls for the Bank as well as highlights the roles and responsibilities at every level for preventing and responding to fraud.
• Clearly Defined and Communicated Three Lines of Defence
The Bank has established the three lines of defence concept: risk taking units, risk control units, and internal audit. The risk taking units manage the day-to-day management of risks inherent in their business activities, while the risk control units are responsible for setting the risk management framework and developing tools and methodologies. Complementing this is internal audit, which provides independent assurance of the effectiveness of the risk management approach.
• Operational Risk Management
The implementation of the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process to enable the Management to identify and assess the risks under their areas of supervision and control on a continual basis. The resultant operational risk profile is validated through internal loss data from the Incident Management and Data Collection (IMDC) and it also serves as a trigger point to determine the types of Key Risk Indicator (KRI) to adopt and monitor operational risk exposures. The overall process is facilitated by Group Risk.
Internal Control System
The key elements of the internal control system established by the Board that provides effective governance and oversight of internal control include:
• Board Approved Annual Business Plan and Budget
An annual business plan and budget are submitted to the Board for approval. Performance achievements are reviewed against the targeted results on a monthly basis allowing timely responses and corrective actions to be taken to mitigate risks. The Board reviews regular reports from the management on the key operating statistics, as well as legal and regulatory matters. The Board also approves any changes or amendments to the Bank’s policies.

Risk Management Approach
Risk is an inherent component in all aspects of the Bank’s businesses. The management of risk has evolved into an important business driver for strategic decisions in support of the Bank’s business objectives, balancing the appropriate level of risk taken proportionate to the desired level of reward, while maintaining the sound financial position and capital of the Bank.
The Bank’s approach to the management of risk involves the establishment of risk principles and strategies as the core foundation in driving strong risk management culture and practices across the Bank.
Maybank’s approach to risk management is premised on the seven broad risk principles:
i. Establishment of a risk appetite and strategy, which articulates the nature, type, and level of risk the Bank is willing to assume and must be approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”).
ii. Capital management driven by the Bank’s strategic objectives and accounts for the relevant regulatory, economic and commercial environments in which the Bank operates.
PRINCIPLES OF RISK MANAGEMENTThe principles are core discipline of the Bank, which serves as the foundation for the
Bank’s risk management practices and processes

Risk Management
“ ”Credit & Risk Management continued to evolve and strengthen value creation in risk management as a dynamic business partner and providing competitive advantage to support the Bank’s aspiration
iii. Proper governance and oversight through a clear, effective and robust Bank governance structure with well-defined, transparent and consistent lines of responsibility established within the Bank.
iv. Promotion of a strong risk culture, which supports and provides appropriate standards and incentives for professional and responsible behaviour.
v. Implementation of integrated risk frameworks and policies to ensure that risk management practices and processes are effective at all levels.
vi. Execution of sound risk management processes to actively identify, measure, control, monitor and report risks inherent in all products, activities, processes, systems and exposures of the Bank.
vii. Ensure sufficient resources and systems infrastructure are in place to enable effective risk management
The Bank’s risk appetite is a critical component of Maybank’s robust risk management framework and is driven by both top-down Board leadership and bottom-up involvement of management at all levels. The RAS enables the Board and Senior Management to communicate, understand and assessthe types and levels of risk that the Bank is willing to accept in pursuit of its business objectives.
The development of its risk appetite has been integrated into the annual strategy and business planning process for the Bank and is adaptable to changing business and market conditions. The Bank’s risk appetite balances the needs of all stakeholders by acting both as a governor of risk, and as a driver of future and current business activities.
The articulation of the risk appetite through the Risk Appetite Statementincludes a comprehensive view of all material risks to the Bank, deliberated by Senior Management, endorsed by the Risk Management Committee and approved by the Board.
The Bank’s risk governance model provides a transparent and effective governance structure, which promotes active involvement from the Board and Senior Management in the risk management process to ensure a uniform view of risk across the Bank.
The governance model aims to place accountability and ownership whilst facilitating an appropriate level of independence and segregation of duties.The structure is premised on the three lines of defence and defines the lines of authority, roles and responsibilities to efficiently manage risk across the Bank.

Risk identification is the initial step in the risk management process as the Bank identifies, understands and assesses the risks inherent in all products, activities, business initiatives, markets and environment. Involves a structured process of determining events or scenarios that may adversely impact the Bank. The objective is to enable early detection of risks and to ensure adequate risk management controls and procedures in place to ensure appropriate management of these risks in an informed and strategic manner.
The Bank leverage on Maybank Group’s comprehensive quantitative and qualitative risk measurement techniques across different dimensions of risk factors. Stress testing is also used to identify and quantify possible or future changes in the financial and economic condition that could have unfavourable effects.
The Bank emplaces proper control to govern risk exposures and ensure alignment with the established risk appetite. Both quantitative and qualitative controls including risk triggers and limits have also been established to oversee and manage the risk exposures identified. The Bank also implemented risk mitigation techniques aimed to minimize existing or to prevent new or emerging risks from occurring.
As part of the Bank’s oversight on risk management, accurate, clear, informative and timely management information is fundamental for the monitoring and reporting of risk exposures and exceptions to senior management and the relevant committees on a regular basis.
The monitoring and reporting process is essential as it enables the Bank to capture existing exposures and facilitates early identification of emerging risks, prompt decision-making and communication of mitigating strategies.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESSAdopting Maybank Group’s risk management practices has enabled the Bank to systematically identify, measure,
control, monitor and report risk exposures within the Bank.

as a way out of poverty. The sponsorship program entailed a monthly funding allocation to
cover basic food and school support as well as special regular engagement sessions with
Maybankers. In 2014, a new Cambodia CR Challenge was launched to challenge Maybankers’
volunteerism spirit and passion to a higher level of engagement in sustainable and meaningful
initiatives for the community, as well as to empower Maybankers eager to bring about change.
Maybankers volunteer as a team via the Challenge and organized unique initiatives that will

component of this initiative, i.e. equipping the children with vocational skills – children with less aptitude towards formal learning whom must not be ignored, instead options were explored to
equip them with suitable vocational skills that can increase their chances of “survival” in the society, as another way out of the dump. Our program train these students in dress-making to a level
where they can gain employment as a dressmaker or start their own business. The skill training is for 10 months followed by 2 months of small business training to help graduates develop the

HARDSHIP RELIEFMaybank One Wish, Enriching Many Lives Program
We rolled out the “Maybank One Wish, Enriching Many Lives” program premised on a CR concept aimed to grant the wish of eligible community members in Cambodia who are faced with basic
life difficulties or challenges. As a country, Cambodia is still one of the world’s poorest nations and grinding poverty is a fact of life for many people. Many Cambodians are faced with various life
difficulties and challenges, and for many, they may not have the capacity or capability to seek for assistance. There are issues at times, that people who are faced with genuine hardship are not
heard. Providing access to assistance is the first step to help, of which we look out for initiatives that can provide a community or individual with capability building tools, skills or assistance to
help them overcome their current hardship and benefit them for years to come.
We are constantly working towards providing our people with the tools and support in order for them to perform better. In 2014, we created an inclusive working environment through various employee engagement programs, employee training programs as well as rewarding our people fairly for their work.

provincial towns. We were the first foreign bank which opened a branch in one of the provincial town where only the top two local banks were present. We provided a possible third choice for the
consumers, fulfilling our humanising mission of offering fair terms and pricing for customers, providing people with convenient access to financing as well as serve the community by giving them
a broad range of financial product and service options. Moving forward, we will be embarking on innovative channels to provide easier and faster access to customers.
We are committed to having deep knowledge of our clients, including understanding their social and environmental needs. At the same time, we believe that our business will only thrive when embedded with elements of good governance, social innovation and environmental integrity. Our efforts to-date were made to enhance our services by improving the accessibility and convenience for our customers and to make valuable contributions to the communities where we operate.

Independent Auditors’ Reportto the Shareholder of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc.
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Maybank (Cambodia) Plc. (“the Bank”), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2014 and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility For The Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Cambodian Accounting Standards and relevant regulations and guidelines issued by the National Bank of Cambodia, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Cambodian International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 auditors’ 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 Bank’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view 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. 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
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2014, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Cambodian Accounting Standards and relevant regulations and guidelines issued by the National Bank of Cambodia.

As at 31 December 2014, the Bank has a total of twenty-one (21) branches located in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, Battambang, Tboung Khmum, Kampong Cham, Banteay Meanchey and Takeo.
Employees
As at 31 December 2014, the Bank has a total of 308 employees (2013: 291 employees).
Approval of the financial statements
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 5 March 2015.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation
2.1.1 Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Cambodian Accounting Standards (“CAS”) and the guidelines of the NBC on the preparation and presentation of financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements, including their utilization, are not designed for those who are not informed about the Kingdom of Cambodia’s accounting principles, procedures and practices and furthermore are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in countries other than the Kingdom of Cambodia.
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied by the Bank.
2.1.2 Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared based on the historical cost convention.
2.1.3 Fiscal year
The Bank’s fiscal year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December.
2.1.4 Functional and presentation currency
The national currency of Cambodia is the Khmer Riel (“KHR”). However, the Bank transacts and maintains its accounting records primarily in United States dollar (“US$”). Management has determined the US$ to be the Bank’s measurement and presentation currency as it reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances of the Bank. This is in accordance with Prakas No. B7-07-164 dated 13 December 2007.
Transactions in foreign currencies (“FC”) are translated into US$ at the exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than US$ at the balance sheet date are translated into US$ at the rates of exchange ruling at that date. Exchange differences arising on translation are recognized in the income statement.
2.1.5 Translation of US$ into KHR
The translation of the US$ amounts into KHR is presented in the financial statements to comply with the Cambodian Law on Corporate Accounts, their Audit and the Accounting Profession dated 8 July 2002 and relevant Prakas of NBC, using the closing exchange rate of KHR 4,075: US$1 ruling at the reporting date (2013: KHR 3,995: US$1), as announced by NBC. Such translation should not be construed as a representation that the US$ amounts represent, or have been or could be converted into KHR at that or any other rate.
2.2 Significant accounting judgments and estimates
In applying accounting policies, management has used its judgment and made estimates in determining the amounts recognized in the financial statements, as follows:
2.2.1 Operating lease
The Bank has entered into lease on premises used for its operations. The Bank has determined, based on the evaluation of the terms and conditions of the lease agreements (i.e., the lease does not transfer ownership of the asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term and lease term is not for the major part of the asset’s economic life), the lessor retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties.
2.2.2 Functional currency
CAS 21 requires management to use its judgment to determine the entity’s functional currency such that it most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. In making this judgment, the Bank considers the following:
a) The currency that mainly influences prices for financial instruments and services (this will often be the currency in which prices for its financial instruments and services are denominated and settled);
b) The currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; and
c) The currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.
2.2.3 Allowance for loan losses
When preparing the financial statements, the quality of loans and advances is reviewed and assessed to determine their classification and level of allowance for loan losses, as more fully disclosed in Note 2.3.5.
2.2.4 Recognition of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses and temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable income together with future tax planning strategies.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2.2 Significant accounting judgments and estimates (continued)
2.2.5 Impairment of non-financial assets
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on available data from binding sales transactions in an arm’s length transaction of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs for disposing of the asset. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The Bank assesses impairment on assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the Bank considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
• Significantunderperformancerelativetoexpectedhistoricalor projected future operating results;
• Significantchangesinthemannerofuseoftheacquiredassets or the strategy for overall business; and
• Significantnegativeindustryoreconomictrends.
2.2.6 Estimated useful lives of property and equipment, and software costs
The Bank estimates the useful lives of its property and equipment, and software costs. This estimate is reviewed periodically to ensure that the period of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from the items of property and equipment, investment properties and software costs.
2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies
2.3.1 Change in accounting policies
The accounting policies and methods of calculation applied by the Bank are consistently applied and there were no changes during the year.
2.3.2 Segment information
The Bank operates within one business segment, commercial banking, and within one geographical segment, the Kingdom of Cambodia.
2.3.3 Cash and cash equivalents
For cash flow statement purposes, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank balances, demand deposits and short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.3.4 Loans and advances
All loans and advances to customers are stated in the balance sheet at the amount of principal and accrued interest receivable (net of interest- in-suspense), less any amounts written off, and allowance for loan losses. Short-term loans are those with a repayment date within one year from the date the loan was advanced. Long-term loans are those with a final repayment date of more than one year from the date the loan was advanced.
Loans are written off when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Recoveries of loans and advances previously provided for decrease the amount of the provision for loan losses in the income statement.
Loans and advances classified as substandard, doubtful or loss are considered as non-performing loans.
2.3.5 Allowance for loan losses
Allowance for loan losses is made with regard to specific risks and relates to those loans and advances that have been individually reviewed and specifically identified as special mention, sub-standard, doubtful or loss. In addition, a general allowance is also maintained for loans classified as normal.
The Bank follows the mandatory credit classification required by Prakas No. B7-09-074 dated 25 February 2009, which is to classify their loan portfolio into five classes. The Prakas also requires that minimum
general and specific allowances be provided depending on loan classification.
The allowance is based on a percentage of total outstanding loans and advances (including accrued interest), net of interest-in-suspense as follows:
The Bank provides additional specific allowance beyond what is required by the Prakas to more fully reflect the known financial condition of the borrowers to the Bank. Interest-in-suspense accruing to non-performing loans is not considered for purposes of the Bank’s loan loss analysis.
An uncollectible loan or portion of a loan classified as bad is written off after taking into consideration the realizable value of the collateral, if any, when in the judgment of the management, there is no prospect of recovery.
2.3.6 Other credit-related commitments
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into other credit- related commitments including loan commitments, letters of credit and guarantees. The accounting policy and provision methodology are similar to originated loans as disclosed above. Allowance is raised against other credit related commitments when losses are considered probable.
2.3.7 Other assets
Other receivables included in other assets are carried at anticipated realizable values. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance sheet date.
2.3.8 Property and equipment
(i) Items of property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an item of property comprises major components having different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment.
(ii) Depreciation of property and equipment is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets at the following rates:
Leasehold improvements 20%
Office equipment 25%
Furniture and fittings 20%
Motor vehicles 25%
(iii) Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of property and equipment that has already been recognized is added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset, will flow to the Bank. All other subsequent expenditure is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.
(iv) Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property and equipment are determined as the difference between the estimated net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in the income statement on the date of retirement or disposal.
(v) Fully depreciated property and equipment are retained in the financial statements until disposed of or written off.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
2.3 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.3.8 Property and equipment (continued)
(vi) The carrying amounts of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when there is an indication that the assets might be impaired. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying values of the assets with their recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement immediately.
(vii) Reversal of impairment losses recognized in prior years is recorded where there is an indication that the impairment losses recognized for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is recognized to the extent of the carrying amount of the asset that would have been determined (net of amortization and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized. The reversal is recognized in the income statement immediately.
2.3.9 Software costs
Software costs that are paid for by the Bank are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Software costs are amortized on a straight-line method basis at the rate of 20% per annum.
2.3.10 Deposits from customers and other banks
Deposits from customers and other banks are stated at placement value.
2.3.11 Other liabilities
Other liabilities are stated at cost.
2.3.12 Provisions for liabilities
Provisions for liabilities are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.
2.3.13 Income tax
(i) Current income tax
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted at the balance sheet date.
(ii) Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these differences can be utilized, except where the deferred income tax arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed
at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are re-assessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred income tax assets to be recovered.
2.3.14 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements, and the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the balance sheet.
2.3.15 Recognition of income and expense
(i) Interest income
Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.
Interest income on overdraft, term loans and other loans is recognized on a daily accrual basis. Where a loan becomes non- performing, the recording of interest is suspended until it is realized on a cash basis. Loans are deemed to be non- performing where repayments are in arrears for ninety days or more.
(ii) Fee and commission income
Income from the various activities of the Bank is accrued using the following bases:
1) Loan arrangement fees and commissions on services and facilities extended to customers are recognized on the occurrence of such transactions;
2) Commitment fees and guarantee fees on services and facilities extended to customers are recognized as income over the period in which the services and facilities are extended;
3) Service charges and processing fees are recognized when the service is provided.
(iii) Interest expense
Interest expense on deposits of customers, settlement accounts of other banks and borrowings are recognized on an accrual basis.
(iv) Fee and commission expense
Fee and commission expense is recognized as incurred.
2.3.16 Operating leases
Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
2.3.17 Related parties
Parties are considered to be related if the Bank has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, or vice-versa, or where the Bank and the party are subject to common control or significant influence. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities and include close family members of any individual considered to be a related party.
Related parties, as defined in Articles 49 and 50 of the Cambodian Law on Banking and Financial Institutions, include the following:
(i) Any person holding directly or indirectly at least ten percent (10%) of the capital or voting rights;
(ii) Any company of which the Bank directly or indirectly holds at least 10% of the capital or voting rights;
(iii) Any individual who participates in the administration, direction, management or internal control; and
(iv) The external auditors.

22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
22.3 Taxation contingency
The taxation system in Cambodia is relatively new and is characterized by numerous taxes and frequently changing legislation, which is often unclear, contradictory, and subject to interpretation. Often, differing interpretations exist among numerous taxation authorities and jurisdictions. Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, who are enabled by law to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges.
These facts may create tax risks in Cambodia substantially more significant than in other countries. Management believes that it has adequately provided for tax liabilities based on its interpretation of tax legislation. However, the relevant authorities may have differing interpretations and the effects could be significant.
23. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Bank’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk) and liquidity risk. Taking risk is core to the financial business, and operational risks are an inevitable consequence of being in business.
The Bank does not use derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contract and interest rate swaps to manage its risk exposure.
The Bank intends to comply with NBC’s regulations for financial risk management purposes. In addition to minimum requirements of NBC, the Bank also adopts relevant financial risk management procedures of the Parent Company.
23.1 Operational risk
The operational risk loss which would result from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems is managed through established operational risk management processes, proper monitoring and reporting of the business activities by control and support units which are independent of the business units and oversight provided by the management.
The operational risk management entails the establishment of clear organizational structures, roles and control policies. Various internal control policies and measures have been implemented. These include the establishment of signing authorities, defining system parameter controls, streamlining procedures and documentation. These are reviewed continually to address the operational risks of its banking business.
23.2 Credit risk
The Bank takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty will cause a financial loss to the Bank by failing to discharge an obligation. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Bank’s business. Credit exposure arises principally in lending activities that lead to loans and advances. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as loan commitments.
(a) Credit risk measurement, mitigation and concentration control
Governance
Overall supervision and responsibility in managing risk resides with the Bank’s Board-level Risk Management Committee. At management level, supervision of material credit risk is being done by the Executive Committee and the Credit Committee of the Bank. Risk pricing is covered by Asset and Liability Management Committee. These committees ensure that all the relevant risk areas are properly identified, measured, managed, priced, monitored, and disclosed within their respective terms of reference.
The following are the key risk areas encountered by the Bank and how they are managed:
(i) Credit risk management framework
Develop, enhance and communicate an efficient, effective and consistent credit risk management framework, leveraging on people and technology.
(ii) Credit policies
Develop and review credit policies including providing empowerment to approve loans.
(iii) Regulatory requirements
Ensure compliance with NBC and other regulatory requirements on credit risk management.
(iv) Risk limits concentrations
Set, review and monitor risk limits and concentrations according to various categories such as a single customer group and product types.
(v) Portfolio management
Manage and control the Bank’s portfolio, including providing analysis of the overall composition and quality of the various credit portfolios to identify any particular sensitivities and concentrations. At the same time, to safeguard and preserve the asset quality of the Bank by analyzing vulnerable industries where prospects have changed or are showing unfavorable signs.
(vi) Credit review
Perform post-approval review of credit proposals to assess whether loan originators, pre-evaluators and approving authorities have addressed and analyzed credit risks sufficiently and provided mitigating factors.
(b) Maximum exposure to credit risk before collateral held or other credit enhancements
For maximum exposure of financial assets to credit risk, refer to Note 23.2 (c).
The credit exposure arising from off-balance sheet activities i.e. commitments and contingencies is discussed in Note 22.1.
(c) Concentration of risks of financial assets with credit risk exposure
Concentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Bank’s performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographic location.

As at 31 December 2014, the past due but not impaired financial assets pertain to loans classified as special mention with aging of less than 90 days.
(e) Collateral repossessed
During the year, the Bank did not obtain assets by taking possession of collateral held as security.
23.3 Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse movement in the level of market prices or rates, the two key components being foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk.
23.3.1 Foreign currency exchange risk
Foreign currency exchange risk refers to the adverse exchange rate movements on foreign currency exchange positions taken from time to time. The Bank maintains a policy of not exposing itself to large foreign exchange positions. Any foreign currency exchange open positions are monitored against the operating requirements, predetermined position limits and cut-loss limits.
As at 31 December 2014, balances in monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than US$ are not significant. Therefore, no sensitivity analysis for foreign currency exchange risk was presented.
23.3.2 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the volatility in net interest income as a result of changes in the levels of interest rate and shifts in the composition of the assets and liabilities. Interest rate risk is managed through close monitoring of returns on investment, market pricing, cost of funds and through interest rate sensitivity gap analysis. The potential reduction in net interest income from an unfavorable interest rate movement is monitored against the risk tolerance limits set.
Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments
The Bank does not account for any fixed rate instruments at fair value through profit or loss, and the Bank does not have derivatives as at year end. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.
Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments
The Bank does not have significant variable-rate instruments. Therefore, no cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments was presented.

23.4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk relates to the ability to maintain sufficient liquid assets to meet its financial commitments and obligations when they fall due at a reasonable cost.
Management believes that the Bank fully complies with all liquidity requirements of NBC as it closely monitors all inflows and outflows and the maturity gaps through periodical reporting. Additionally, movements in loans and customers’ deposits are monitored and liquidity requirements adjusted to ensure sufficient liquid assets to meet its financial commitments and obligations as and when they fall due.
Analysis of the financial assets and liabilities of the Bank into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining periods to repayment follows:

We may live on the same planet but often we’re worlds apart because there are gaps between us. Gaps that keep us from life’s best experiences. Gaps between those who have and those
At Maybank, we believe we can cross each of these gaps, because at the bottom of it all, we’re all human. We can work together, learn together and understand each other.
The things that set us apart.
Let’s bridge those gaps by being human.
The things that bring us together.
Which is why together, we can build bridges. The bridges that
can unite people at all times from all backgrounds and from all
places. The bridges that can carry us across the ups, the downs
and the unexpected. Connecting us with the future we’ve always
been planning for and helping us lead the lives we wish to live.
