NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000
1. STATUS AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Credit Agricole Indosuez The Global French Bank is incorporated in France with limited liability. It
is operating in Pakistan as a Commercial Bank under Banking Companies Ordinance, 1962
through two branches located at Karachi and Lahore.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In accordance with the directives of the Federal Government regarding the shifting of the banking
system to Islamic modes, the State Bank of Pakistan has issued various circulars from time to
time. One permissible form of trade-related mode of financing comprises of purchase of goods by
the bank from their customers and immediate resale to them at appropriate mark-up in price on
deferred payment basis. The purchase and sale arising under these arrangements are not
reflected in the accounts as such but are restricted to the amount of facility actually utilised and
the appropriate portion of mark-up thereon
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
3.1 Accounting convention
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain
investments which are stated on the mark to market basis as disclosed in note 3.5.
3.2 Staff retirement benefits
The branches operate an approved funded gratuity scheme for all its employees who have
completed 5 years' service or more. Contributions allowable under Income Tax rules have
been made to the fund.
3.3 Taxation
Taxation charge in the accounts is based on taxable income. The branches account for
deferred taxation on timing differences using the liability method.
3.4 Advances
Advances are stated at cost less provision for bad and doubtful balances. The provision for
bad and doubtful advances is made in accordance with the Prudential Regulations of the
State Bank of Pakistan.
3.5 Investments
During the year, the bank has decided to value Treasury bills on mark to market basis. The
difference between the carrying value and the revalued amount is taken to a surplus / deficit
on revaluation account and shown separately in the balance sheet below capital. The policy
has been changed to comply with the requirements of State Bank of Pakistan's BSD
Circular No. 20 of August 4, 2000.
Previously these investments were carried at cost. Had the policy remained unchanged the
value of investments would have been lower by Rs. 1.045 million. However there is no
effect on profit and loss account due to the change in policy.
All other investments are stated at cost and adjusted for amortization of premium / discount.
3.6 Operating fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to
income applying the straight line method. A full month's depreciation is charged in the
month of addition while no depreciation is charged for the month in which the disposal is
made.
Gains and losses on the disposal of fixed assets are included in income currently.
3.7 Revenue recognition
Profit / return on advances and investments are recognised on an accrual basis.
Fees, commissions and brokerage income is recognised when earned.
3.8 Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into Pak rupees at the rates of
exchange approximating those prevailing at the balance sheet date, except those foreign
currency deposits against which forward cover has been obtained from the State Bank of
Pakistan, which are stated at contracted rates.
Outstanding forward exchange contracts are translated on a mark to market basis.
Exchange gains or losses are included in the profit and loss account.
