3.6.3. Independent Auditor Report Drawn up in Compliance with the Central Bank Law and Related Legislation(*)

To the Board of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey
Ankara

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (the “Bank”) which comprise the balance sheet as of 31 December 2016 and statement of profit or loss, 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 notes.

The Bank Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Bank Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Law of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey and related legislation (Note I.A.(2)), 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 auditor’s 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 entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the entity 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2016 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Law of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey and related legislation (Note I.A.(2)).

Additional Paragraph for English Translation

The effect of the differences between the accounting principles summarized in Section I – A – (2) and the accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which the accompanying financial statements are to be distributed and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have not been quantified and reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements differ materially from IFRS. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the Bank’s financial position and results of its operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in such countries of users of the financial statements and IFRS.
