FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
I am delighted to present the Bank’s annual re-port for the year ended 31st December 2014. It has been another year of strong results in the face of increasing competition and im-proved macro-economic conditions. Cente-nary Bank is a Tier–I financial institution with a network of service delivery channels spread across Uganda. We aim to provide appropri-ate financial services especially microfinance to all the people of Uganda particularly in ru-ral areas. We are therefore at the forefront of increasing financial inclusion and reaching out to the unBanked population
The Operating EnvironmentThe Board and Management keep abreast of happenings in the environment because the Bank’s growth entirely depends on it, especially the forces of macro-economic conditions. On a positive note, 2014 headline inflation declined to 1.8% from 6.7% in 2013. The main driver of inflation in 2014 was the fall in food prices attributed to increased food supply in the domestic market. This is reflected in the modest increase in the Bank’s operating expenses.
The Uganda shilling weakened by about 9% against the dollar in 2014 with much of the depreciation oc-curring in the second half of the year on the back of strong import demand coupled with low export levels, instability in some neighboring countries, low foreign direct investment and reduced remittances from the diaspora. The Bank’s balance sheet which is predomi-nantly denominated in Uganda shillings and the dollar
denominated operating costs have been affected by the weakening shilling. The depreciation of the shilling also led to an increase in the Bank’s capital expenditure.
The market place continues to be associated with in-creasing competition from other players and the tel-ecommunication sector. Centenary Bank is however leveraging on the platforms of telecoms to deliver its mobile Banking services through our telephone Bank-ing platform called CenteMobile. The Bank continues to enhance its e- Banking platforms.
Interest rates continued to rise especially in quarter four of 2014 particularly on short tenors. The overnight rate closed the year at 10.7% while the 364 day rate closed at 13.9%. The rise in the rates was attributed to a depreciation of the shilling against other hard cur-rencies. To some extent, changes in the investor senti-ment as well as expectations on forward trends had an impact. We expect upward pressure on interest rates to continue in 2015. The increase in interest rates had an impact on our funding costs hence a decrease in the Bank’s interest margin as reflected in the financial re-sults.
Return to ShareholdersThe Bank’s basic earnings per ordinary share have in-creased to Shs 2,952 from Shs 2,319 the previous year, while return on equity (ROE) increased from 25.3% to 25.9% which is above the Industry ROE of 16.1%. Despite stiff competition in the sector, the strong per-formance posted by the Bank once again demonstrates our ability to deliver substantial and sustained value for our shareholders and other stakeholders. The Bank is still adequately capitalized and meets all the statutory capital requirements.
The Bank’s Tier II capital adequacy ratio as at 31 De-cember 2014 was 29.5% (2013: 28.7%) compared with 12% required by Bank of Uganda and this was above the industry average of 22.2%. The Bank’s good performance and growth momentum have been driven by the continued focus on microfinance, convenience and affordability of the Bank’s products.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Corporate Social Investment Centenary Bank believes in sustainability of lives and the environment in which we work, so 1% of the pre-vious year’s net profit was devoted to Corporate Social Investment. In 2014, the Bank focused on health, edu-cation, environment, supporting the social mission of the Church and supporting other community causes. Under education, people benefited from the financial literacy initiatives. In health, the Bank continued to raise awareness on breast, cervical and prostate can-cer by contributing towards the completion of the can-cer ward at Nsambya Hospital, sponsoring the Cancer Run organized by Uganda Rotary Office, printing and distributing brochures with cancer awareness mes-sages countrywide and holding screening camps; these initiatives reached more than 2,500,000 people. Under environment, the Bank contributed to water and sani-tation projects, along with clean energy initiatives and also supported 125 Church projects and community initiatives including construction, women programs and nutrition.
Corporate GovernanceThe Board membership remained stable and continued to serve with complete dedication. The Board contin-ues to provide the strategic direction for all the Bank’s operations. None of the members of the Board had any conflict of interest in the matters of the Bank on which they were required to provide guidance and direction. The various board committees continued to play a vital role in supporting the board and management to dis-charge their duties. At their Annual General meeting of 07th June 2014, the shareholders re-appointed the board to serve for another three years. As part of their oversight duty, the board approved the Bank’s rolling strategic plan for the year 2015 – 2017 with a focus on innovation and execution that will translate into im-proved productivity and operational efficiency
Environmental OutlookGenerally, the operating environment forecasts point to a better economic environment in 2015 compared to 2014. Uganda’s gross domestic product is estimated at 6.7% for the financial year 2014/15 compared to 4.5% for 2013/2014. This growth is expected to be led by public expenditure in the form of infrastructure
spend in the energy and transport sectors, increased agricultural output, rebound in private sector credit and increased foreign direct investment. 2016 is an election year and it is common for uncertainties in growth patterns to set in. With this macro-economic operating environment, Centenary Bank is set to continue with its growth drive, putting in place adequate structures and systems that will continue to improve customer service. We will continue to consolidate the Bank’s position in the market place as the leading microfinance provider in Uganda.
The Bank will continue to leverage on its operational and financial strength to take advantage of opportuni-ties in the environment like oil and gas industry not for-getting the emerging middle class, youth and women. The Bank is set to manage challenges plus risks that lie ahead.
ConclusionI wish to express an immense sense of gratitude to all who have enabled the Bank achieve the success regis-tered in 2014; our customers, shareholders and strate-gic business partners for the continued loyalty, support, not forgetting my fellow board members for their guid-ance and support.
All the above-mentioned achievements would not be realized without a passionate team at Centenary Bank comprising of 2,001 staff members. I am sure that with the sound leadership and support provided by the board of Directors and guided by the same vision and mission, we shall be able to move Our Bank to even greater heights of success.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
IntroductionI am happy to present to you Centenary Bank’s annual report and financial statements for the year 2014. In the year under review, we are pleased with the Bank’s performance which aligns well with our vision and also our proven track record of sustained growth. The Bank is well positioned with a clear strategy and a strong brand.
2014 Performance reviewNotwithstanding the macro-economic turbulences, the Bank continued its growth on all fronts especially prof-itability and total assets. This growth momentum has been maintained due to continued focus on strategy execution.
The Bank posted a 27.3% growth in profit after tax to close at Shs 73.8 billion compared to Shs 58.0 bil-lion the previous year and representing a market share of 15.2%. Total income went up by 17.7% to reach Shs 324.3 billion up from Shs 275.6 billion the previous year, mainly driven by growth in loans and advances to customers and increase in transaction volumes. Net in-terest income rose by 20.1% to Shs 210.5 billion from Shs 175.3 billion the previous year. Total expenses in-creased by 12.0% to Shs 228.8 billion from Shs 204.4 billion mainly attributed to the Bank’s expansion.
During the year, the balance sheet grew impressively with total assets reaching Shs 1,636.9 billion from Shs 1,451.0 billion the previous year, representing a 12.8% increase and close to industry growth of 13.1%. This impressive growth was reflected in the net loan book that grew to Shs 830.9 billion up from Shs 672.3 billion the previous year, a growth of 23.6% which is above the industry growth of 14.0%. Despite this growth, the Bank maintained a high quality asset portfolio with an average non-performing loan book of 2.8%, which is below the Bank’s set target of 3% and the industry av-erage of 4.1%.

Customer deposits grew from Shs 966.0 billion to Shs 1,175.1 billion, a growth of 21.7% which is above the industry growth of 14.9%. The Bank continued to attract new customers and closed the year with 1,307,757 deposit accounts compared to 1,240,077 the previous year, thereby maintaining the lead posi-tion in the industry in terms of customer base. In ad-dition to customer deposits, the other funding sources of the Bank are represented by equity which increased by 25.3% to Shs 317.5 billion, up from Shs 253.3 billion the previous year.
Business development and innovationWith regard to business development and innova-tion, the Bank closed 2014 with 62 branches and 153 ATMs at 112 locations. Over the past years, the Bank has been expanding its footprint in terms of delivery channels. In 2012, we expanded by 2 branches and 11 ATMs. In 2013, we opened 4 service centers and 4 offsite ATMs. In order to consolidate our position, we decided to open one service center in 2014 and 5 offsite ATMs. Expanding by only one service center in 2014 was mainly attributed to other major investments the Bank decided to undertake, including the acquisi-tion of a new core Banking application and completing the new headquarters. Besides, the Bank’s strategy is to focus more on other e-Banking channels of service delivery. During the year, the Bank rolled out Point of Service (POS) machines, joined the Interswitch ATM platform and partnered with MTN, Airtel and Ezeey money on a number of e-Banking solutions to expand its delivery channels. The Bank introduced a youth sav-ings campaign (Centevolution) in recognition of the valuable contribution of the youth to the economy.
Partnerships and collaborationsTo respond to some of the challenges that Private En-terprises and the youth face in accessing credit facilities, the Bank went into partnership with European Invest-ment Bank, Abi-Trust, Kampala Capital City Authority and Government of Uganda and the main focus was on
financing the agro industry, micro credit projects and supporting expansion of business ventures owned by the youth residents in Kampala district.
Strategy 2015Despite the difficult prevailing market conditions, the Bank will remain committed to its long-term strategy which will enable it to capture emerging growth op-portunities in Uganda. We expect that the growth mo-mentum will be continued through maintaining efficient operations, prudent lending and risk management. The Bank will continue to implement an engaging strategy that focuses on delighting customers, enhancing pro-ductivity and efficiency. The Bank will pursue its growth focusing on new delivery channels and products. The Bank plans to increase its market share by rolling out more electronic Banking services and getting on agency Banking. The Bank will also ensure that customer ser-vices are upheld.
ConclusionI wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to our customers, shareholders and busi-ness partners for their support to the Bank and contin-ued confidence and trust in our business. I also want to thank the Board of Directors for the oversight and guidance they have given the Bank. Lastly, I am grateful to management and staff of the Bank for their dedica-tion and sacrifice that enabled delivery of this excellent financial performance. Team, we could not have done it without you! Thank you for continuing to live our core values.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
4.0 ApproachThe philosophy of the Bank is that best corporate gov-ernance should be engrained and intrinsic in all the processes, structure and culture of the Bank. This is in harmony with the objectives of good corporate gov-ernance which seeks to protect stakeholders’ interests by balancing entrepreneurial leadership with transpar-ency and control mechanisms, without compromising value creation and efficient decision-making. The Bank endeavors to establish and maintain good governance and risk management systems and practices.
The Bank’s risk management function is responsible for identifying and understanding the different types of risks faced, internally and externally, locally and interna-tionally and for measuring and managing them accord-ingly through established and emerging risk manage-ment methodologies. The Bank has a clearly identified enterprise risk management framework that emanates from the sound governance principles. The risk objec-tives are integrated and aligned with the Bank’s wider business development and management objectives.
The Bank is a member of the Institute of Corporate Governance of Uganda and subscribes to promot-ing corporate governance in various institutions in the country. Members of the Board and senior manage-ment also subscribe to the Institute.
4.1 Codes and RegulationsThe Bank operates in a highly regulated industry with corporate governance principles largely promoted through appropriate legislation and regulations, against a backdrop of the Bank’s own internal standards ar-ticulated in a Corporate Governance Charter. The Bank considers good governance as one of the pillars for sound operation of its business, performance and sustainability hence its commitment to compliance with legislation, regulation, codes and guidelines of best practice. The Bank seeks to maintain high standards of governance, including transparency, accountability and fairness to all stakeholders and these are regularly evaluated against relevant local and international best practice, including the King III code in order to embrace current best practice.
4.2 Board Structure(i) Structure The Bank has a unitary Board in which the ex-
ecutive and non-executive directors are brought together in a single structure and share collec-
tive responsibility. The authority of the Board is therefore vested in the collective body.
(ii) Appointment Directors are appointed based on a competency
profile and rotation criteria that ensures there is a sound mix of relevant skills, experience and continuity for good leadership to the Bank.
The Board of Directors is appointed by the sharehold-ers for a term of 3 years in line with the Articles of Association and all appointments including those of any alternate directors are subjected to regulatory vetting and approval. The Bank’s approach is that directors need sufficient time to understand the business to use-fully apply their skills and this can be achieved and dem-onstrated over a medium tenure hence preference for the said term which also promotes stability. Retiring di-rectors also qualify for reappointment which promotes continuity for the Board.
In appointing directors, the shareholders take into ac-count and balance relevant skills, experience and geo-graphical representation. The directors’ skills and ex-perience canvas:
• MicrofinanceinlinewiththeBank’smissionandvision
• Financialandcommercialbankingskills• Operationalexperienceandcapitalmanagement• Regulatoryexperience• Riskmanagementandfinancialcontrolexpertise• Corporateplanning
The roles of the Board Chairman and the Chief Execu-tive Officer/Managing Director are separate and dis-tinct with the Chairman of the Board of Directors being a non-executive director. To maintain independence, the Chairman of the Board is not a member of any of the specialized committees of the Board of Directors specified under the Financial Institutions Act (including Audit, ALCO, Risk and Compensation).
The Bank also has a clear formal demarcation of re-sponsibilities between the Board and Management with the Board providing strategic oversight, has the respon-sibility to ensure that the company has effective man-agement and has ultimate responsibility for the func-tioning of the Bank and its sustainability. Management on the other hand is in charge of the Bank’s day-to-day operations.
The Board is accountable for all decisions taken by its

committees and for its delegation to management of the business and affairs of the Bank. This delegation is reviewed regularly in light of business developments to ensure that the Board canvasses and devotes attention to any emerging strategic issues; such review has seen the instituting of a Board IT (Strategy) Committee for Board oversight on the increasing role of IT in the deliv-ery of banking services and the new business landscape with the advent of telecom companies in the financial services arena. (iii) Induction and Training On appointment, every new director receives
a comprehensive induction pack containing a wide range of information on the Bank. The Di-rector is placed under an orientation program which includes site visits, training on corporate governance, a review of the relevant legislation and regulations, one-on-one meetings with the Chairman and senior management. Annual re-fresher programmes are arranged in-house and externally for all directors in areas concerning responsibilities and legal obligations of a director, corporate governance and corporate strategy, planning and risk management.
Personal training is also availed to address indi-vidual directors’ unique needs. All directors are encouraged to subscribe for membership with an institute in corporate governance.
As part of the Board of Directors’ annual work plan, the directors are expected to make site vis-its.
4.3 RemunerationDirectors’ remuneration is approved by shareholders and is determined by the directors’ scope of respon-sibility and market surveys in order to obtain sufficient and competitive remuneration in line with the share-holders philosophy on remuneration of directors. The Board in turn approves the remuneration of Executive Directors and senior management also premised upon a philosophy of the position the Bank wishes to have in the industry as well as taking into account perfor-mance targets of the business, individual senior ex-ecutives’ achievements of targets, external norms and benchmarks. No member of management is present during proceedings when the members’ remuneration is discussed to avoid conflict of interest.
(iv) Board Responsibilities The key responsibilities of the Board include the
following:
(i) Establish strategic objectives and corporate val-ues and ensure that these are understood with-in the organization.
(ii) Reviewing management performance and moni-toring progress towards set objectives.
(iii) Set and enforce clear lines of responsibility and accountability throughout the organization in-cluding clear demarcation of responsibilities be-tween the Board and Management and develop a position/job description for the Managing Direc-tor [CEO].
(iv) Establish approval authority of different levels of Senior Management and ensure there is appro-priate oversight by management.
(v) Having timely and frank discussions of problems and issues in relation to the Bank including its fi-nancial affairs and risk management processes.
(vi) Ensure that Board meetings are held at least once in every quarter of the financial year.
(vii) Recognizing the importance of audit process and communicating its high importance throughout the Bank and utilizing in a timely and effective manner the findings in internal and external au-dits and timely correction by management of problems identified by auditors.
(viii) Approve compensation of Senior Management and other key personnel.
(ix) Enforce sound corporate governance in the Board, Senior Management and organizational structures, incentive structure, nature and extent of transactions with affiliates and related par-ties, Board mandate, composition of the Board, Board’s expectation of management and ensure feedback received from stakeholders is docu-mented and addressed.
(x) Ensuring that the Bank remains a going concern.
(v) Board meetings The Board and its committees convene quarterly
for compliance with both regulatory require-ments and equally so for addressing the business needs of the Bank. In addition to the statutory committees, the Board has 3 additional commit-tees to oversee the Bank’s unique needs; namely; IT (Strategy) Committee, Credit (Risk) Commit-tee and the Shareholding Review Committee. The Board also convenes additional meetings at least once a year for strategic planning and train-ing respectively.
One of the formal and also required arrange-ments through which directors perform their re-sponsibilities to the Bank is attendance of Board meetings. The Board further subscribes to a code of conduct at its meetings to maintain an open and inclusive atmosphere which promotes accountability. Quorum for all meetings is made of non-executive directors to enhance engage-ment and objectivity.

Shareholding Review Committee The primary role and responsibility of the Board Share-holding Review Committee is to preserve the integrity of the Bank’s shareholding structure and provide a plat-form for discussion of matters of interest to the Bank’s substantial shareholders while upholding the fiduciary duty of directors to act in the best interest of the Bank as a whole.
The Bank also consults with all its shareholders pre-ceding the Bank’s Annual General Meeting. At these consultative meetings shareholders receive the Board of Directors’ proposals on shareholding issues raised. This forum provides a platform for engaging the share-holders and building consensus that would ultimately form a resolution at a general meeting of sharehold-ers. During the consultative meetings, shareholders are permitted to bring in delegates who are experts on
the subjects at hand to discuss with the Board.
All directors are required and attend the meetings with the shareholders. During the year one shareholders consultative meeting and Annual General Meeting were held. G. IT Strategy CommitteeThe Board IT Strategy Committee provides strategic leadership and governance of the Bank’s IT resources, services and initiatives, to facilitate direction, oversight, monitoring & evaluation by the Board.
The overall objectives of the IT Strategy Committee are to ensure that the Board:
a. Understands and focuses on the strategic impor-tance of IT, as well as key issues and systems to manage IT risks and constraints.
b. Provides direction and oversight on IT activities, as well as monitors and evaluates the impact of investments, initiatives and strategies employed.
c. Places emphasis on driving and supporting busi-ness strategies and objectives.
d. Formulates and regularly reviews the TOR of this committee.
(vii) Board Evaluation The Board conducts an annual evaluation of its
compliance with governance standards and of its performance as a collective body. Consequently, an Action Plan for improvement is developed. At the Bank, Board evaluation has now been taken to a higher level to encompass evaluation of the performance of the Board Chairman, the individ-ual directors and the perfomance of the respec-tive Board Commitees.
4.4 Delegation of Authority and Effective ControlThere is clear segregation of responsibilities between the Board and management and between the role of the Chairman of the Board and Managing Director. Ac-cordingly the Board provides strategic oversight and has the responsibility to ensure that the Bank has effec-tive management, while management is in charge of the Bank’s day-to-day operations. Authority has been delegated to the Managing Director to manage the business. There is a clear appreciation of the four eyes principle under the Financial Institutions Act. The Bank has two Executive Directors including the Managing Director. The Executive Director is a member of the Board of Directors.
The Board operates within an established structure that ensures that there are adequate processes in place
18 Centenary BankAnnual Report 2014
CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
to monitor operations. An assessment of how well the Board works and its contribution is vital to the achieve-ment of the objectives of the Bank and is done on a regular basis.
4.5 Company SecretaryThe Board has a service of a full time Company Secre-tary. This position is a central source of guidance and advice to the Board collectively and to its members on matters of governance and compliance. Accordingly the Company Secretary ensures that Board members are cognizant of their duties and responsibilities in consonance with legislation and current best practice and that they are versed with changes in the relevant laws and governance thinking and trends. The Com-pany Secretary in consultation with the Chairman as-sists individual directors identify training relevant to the identified needs of the respective directors and assists the Board in accomplishing their annual work plan and strategy.
The Company Secretary also plays a pivotal role in re-laying decisions of the Board to management for its im-plementation.
4.6 Planning StrategyThe Board in one of its primary roles concerns itself with strategic direction. The Board considers and ap-proves the Bank’s objectives and the strategy and plans to achieve these objectives and which is used to meas-ure management performance. At an annual meeting with management, the Board reviews management’s performance against the approved strategies, objec-tives and financial plans. Through a forward planning process and outlook, the Board determines areas of im-provement and aspects of its activities and business that it will assign high priority. With a continuum of changes in the environment including new legislation, new finan-cial services delivery channels, the advent of consumer protection, increased consumer expectations, corpo-rate governance practices, these are analyzed and an impact assessment made on the risks and opportunities they bring for strategy. Management’s performance is monitored regularly on its achievement of the agreed key strategic objectives. Management performance is subsequently evaluated against the same through a Bal-anced Score Card.
4.7 ComplianceCompliance is integral to the Bank’s culture. The over-sight of compliance risk management is delegated to the Audit Committee charged with reviewing and ap-proving the annual compliance plan.
The impact of new and proposed legislation and regula-tion is assessed by Management and recommendations submitted to the Board through the Risk Management
Committee.
The Bank is compliant with all new legislation and regu-lations mainly the Companies Act, the Employment Act & Regulations and the Financial Institutions Consumer Protection Guidelines instituted by the Central Bank.
The Bank sponsors a defined contribution provident fund for its staff and this is compliant with the Uganda Retirement Benefits Regulatory Authority Act 2012. The scheme is managed separately from the Bank in accordance with applicable laws and best practice with the required employee representation thereon. The Bank has a compliance function which among other things monitors the ethical conduct of the Bank and considers the development of ethical standards and requirements. The function also reviews complaints handling and reporting procedures.
4.8 Going ConcernThe Board has reviewed the facts and assumptions on which the Bank is operated and based on these, contin-ues to view the Bank as a going concern for the fore-seeable future.
4.9 Governance JourneyThe Board is aware that corporate governance princi-ples and best practice evolve and that there is always room for improvement for the institution.
The Bank has therefore maintained a practice of moni-toring corporate governance developments and evalu-ating them to ensure that the Bank adopts principles and practices that are relevant and best fit and serve to enhance business and community objectives.
4.10 Risk Management and ControlThe Bank uses an Enterprise wide Risk Management (ERM) approach which is governed by the Risk Man-agement Framework Policy. The Bank recognizes that many risks within the organization are interrelated and should not be managed independently, but rather across the Bank. This ERM framework sets forth guidance to manage risks across the Bank. It aims to strengthen the Bank’s ability to develop an integrated view of risk and the means to handle risks within a comprehensive ap-proach.
Enterprise-wide Risk Management provides uniform processes to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and re-port on key risks. It supports Centenary Bank’s Board of Directors (BOD) corporate governance needs, ena-bles informed decision-making, and identifies areas for value optimization.

framework provides Management and staff with the information they need to perform their risk manage-ment-related duties. The document provides both background information such as Centenary Bank’s ERM objectives, policy, and principles in addition to the detailed formal processes and methodologies for risk identification, assessment, management, monitoring and reporting using informa-tion such as process flow diagrams and procedures. ERM Objectives applicable:
Centenary Bank’s ERM program brings risk knowledge and information to the fore in decision-making process-es to mitigate the downside of unrewarded risk while exploiting rewarded risks to benefit from business op-portunities.
The ERM objectives are to: • Support the Bank’s business growth strategy
through the implementation of well-defined and common risk management processes, tools, and techniques.
• Counter losses and improve business value through optimization of risk and return.
• More knowledgeably seize and exploit oppor-tunities and quickly identify risks to avoid, both current and emerging risks.
• Reduce uncertainty and increase the likelihood of success in achieving the bank’s strategic initia-tives.
• Build credibility and sustainable stakeholder con-fidence in Centenary Bank’s governance and risk management processes and comply with both regulatory and local laws and jurisdictions.
• Improve the understanding of interactions and interrelationships between risks.
• Establish clear accountability and ownership of risk.
• Develop a common language that helps to estab-lish the broad scope of risk and to organize risk management activities and reinforce Centenary Bank’s risk culture.
• Develop capacity for continuous monitoring and reporting of risk across Centenary Bank, from the operational level to the Board.
a. Risk Management Policy The risk management policy defines the Bank’s busi-ness processes, structure, risk profile and risk appetite. It is a guiding document in the application of the bank’s comprehensive risk management framework which is regularly reviewed. The policy among other things defines the roles and re-
sponsibilities of management and the board in the man-agement of existing and emerging risks in the bank and the market respectively. The document defines “Sound Practice” in terms of the Bank’s risk management and provides guidelines for management to address the Bank’s risk profile on an ongoing basis.
b. Risk Categories:To enhance the understanding of particular sources of risk, their possible consequences, and the practical ap-proaches to managing them, Centenary Bank has de-fined risks into 9 major categories.These risk categories are groupings that help the bank to consistently identify, assess measure, monitor and report across on its overall risk exposure. Using con-sistent risk categories across the bank enables aggre-gation and determination of overall risk impact. This enhances the understanding of particular sources of risk, their possible consequences and the practical ap-proaches to managing them.
Centenary Bank has adopted the following risk categories: i) Strategic Risk Risk of current and prospective impact on the
Bank’s earnings and capital arising from poor business decisions, improper implementation of decisions or lack of response to industry, eco-nomic or technological changes.
ii) Credit Risk Potential that a Bank borrower or counterparty
will fail to meet their obligations in accordance with agreed terms.
iii) Liquidity Risk Risk resulting from the Bank’s failure to pay its
debts and obligations when due because of its in-ability to convert assets into cash, or its failure to procure enough funds, or, if it can, that the funds come with an exceptionally high cost that may affect the bank’s incomes and capital fund now and in the future.
iv) Market Risk This is the risk that the value of the Bank’s invest-
ments will decrease due to unexpected and/or adverse changes in market factors such as stock and commodity prices as well as interest and for-eign exchange rates.
Key market risks factors for the Bank include Interest Rate Risk and Foreign Exchange Risk which have been described below:
i. Interest Rate Risk: the exposure of a bank’s
20 Centenary BankAnnual Report 2014
CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
financial condition to adverse movements in in-terest rates.
ii. Foreign Exchange Risk: risk associated with doing business in two or more currencies. For-eign exchange price risk relates to possible re-valuation losses (or gains) on long/over bought or short/oversold currency positions in response to movements in exchange rates.
v) Reputation Risk This is the risk arising from changes in public
opinion that impact the Bank’s earnings or access to capital. This can be mainly thought of as pub-licity or operational inadequacies that would have an adverse effect on the Bank’s public image.
vi) Operational Risk Risk of direct or indirect loss resulting from inad-
equate or failed internal processes, people, and systems or from the external events or unfore-seen catastrophes. It includes the exposure to loss resulting from the failure of a manual or au-tomated system to process, produce, or analyze transactions in an accurate, timely, and secure manner.
Operational risks increase the Bank’s exposure to other risks by impairing the Bank’s ability to adequately assess, monitor and report on other risks. Operational risks cut across all the Bank’s divisions and include, but not limited to:
Human Resources Risk: The risk arising from inadequate human resources or inappropriate use of available staffing resources.
Business Process Risk: The risk arising from in-
adequate implementation and non-adherence to the Bank’s business processes.
Legal Risk: The risk arising from contracts or
other arrangements that are not enforceable through available means.
Health & Safety Risk: The risk arising from noncompliance with or lack of health and safety regulations, policies, or procedures.
vii) Compliance Risk Risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, material fi-
nancial loss, or loss to reputation a bank may suf-fer as a result of its failure to comply with laws, regulations, prudential guidelines, supervisory recommendations and directives, rules, internal policies and procedural guidelines and codes of
conduct applicable to its banking activities.
viii) Information Technology Risk The risk arising from inadequate information
communication technology (ICT) resources or inappropriate use of available ICT resources. This can result in financial loss and lost business opportunities due to unavailability of the ICT re-sources, loss of data integrity and confidentiality.
ix) Country Risk Refers to the risk of investing in a country, other
than Uganda, resulting from uncertainties arising from the economic, social and political conditions of that country that may cause borrowers in that country to be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations to the Bank.
The main categories of country risk comprise sovereign, transfer and contagion risk and are described below:
Sovereign risk: Denotes a foreign government’s capacity and willingness to repay its direct and in-direct (i.e. guaranteed) foreign currency obliga-tions.
Transfer risk: This is the risk that a borrower
may not be able to secure foreign exchange to service its external obligations.
Contagion risk: This risk arises where adverse developments in one country lead to a down-grade of rating or a credit squeeze not only for that country but also other countries in the re-gion.
4.11 Business Continuity Management:Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a holistic management process that identifies Potential impacts that threaten an organization and provides a framework for building resilience and the capability for an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stake-holders, reputation, brand and value creating activities.The Bank has in place an appropriate business continu-ity management program with the ultimate purpose to minimise the impact on the organization and recover from loss of information assets which may result from natural disasters, accidents, equipment failures, and deliberate actions to an acceptable level through a combination of preventive and recovery controls. The process includes the development, maintenance, and testing of contingency plans and work-around proce-dures necessary to sustain the operational continuity of mission critical processes, information technology sys-tems and resources.

5.8 Funding mix
The funding mix has remained rather stable in terms of value. Savings accounts represent 47.9% of total equity and liabilities compared to 44.1% in 2013. The Bank has been able to maintain a stable deposit mix in 2014 due to an increase in its loyal customer base and massive de-posit mobilisation. Current accounts represent 17.2% of total equity and liabilities compared to 15.0% for the same period last year. Time deposits constituted 6.7% of total equity and liabilities compared to 7.5% for 2013. Borrowed and managed funds contribute only 5.1% of the total equity and liabilities (2013: 6.4%).
5.6 Statement of financial Position analysis
The Bank’s total assets during the year under review in-creased by 12.8% (2013: 29.3%) due to the expansion in the Bank’s distribution channels by 1 service centre, 7 ATMs at 6 locations and growth in its investments, loan and advances portfolio.
Net loans and advances accounted for 50.8% (2013: 46.3%) of total assets and registered a 23.6% (2013: 20.7%) growth to close at Shs 830.9 billion in 2014 up from Shs 672.3 billion in 2013. The loan growth was driv-en by good customer service, reduced interest rates and increased lending opportunities in the market.
Customer deposits, which consist of current accounts, savings accounts and time deposits, made up the Bank’s main sources of funding. These deposits grew by 21.7% (2013: 18.0%) to Shs 1,175.1 trillion in 2014 from Shs 965.9 billion in 2013. The good deposit growth is attrib-uted to increased marketing efforts and an increase in the Bank’s distribution channels.

5.9 Equity
Equity, which comprises share capital, share premium and retained earnings, finances 19.4% (2013:17.5%) of the total assets. The level of equity is a function of earnings which are distributed as dividends and amount of earnings which are ploughed back into the business. The Bank’s policy is to maintain a sustain-able dividend growth which satisfies shareholders.
5.10 Capital adequacy
The Bank monitors its capital adequacy using ratios established by the Bank for International Settlement (BIS) as approved by Bank of Uganda, the regulator. The ratios measure capital adequacy by comparing the Bank’s eligible capital with its statement of finan-cial position assets, off-statement of financial position commitments and market and other risk positions at weighted amounts to reflect their relative risk. At 31 December 2014, the Bank had a regulatory total capital base of 29.4% (2013: 28.7%) of risk-weighted assets. This compares favorably with the regulatory requirement of 12.0%.
Statement of cash flows analysis
The Bank’s cash flow from / (used in) operating activi-ties went down from Shs 126.7 billion in 2013 to (Shs 13.1 billion) in 2014.
Cash flows in investing activities decreased from Shs 24.4 billion to Shs 14.6 billion during the year ended 2014.
Cash flows from / (used in) financing activities de-creased from Shs 29.2 billion in 2013 to (Shs 19.9 bil-lion) in 2014. The reduction was mainly attributed to a reduction in long term borrowings of Shs 9.3 billion.

CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
The Bank’s directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accord-
ance with International Financial Reporting Standards and in the manner required by the Companies Act of Uganda,
2012 and Financial Institutions Act 2004, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to en-
able the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
The directors’ responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the prepa-
ration and fair presentation of these financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are rea-
sonable in the circumstances.
Under the Companies Act of Uganda, the directors are required to prepare financial statements for each year that give
a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Bank as at the end of the financial year and of the operating results of
the Bank for that year. It also requires the directors to ensure the Bank keeps proper accounting records that disclose
with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Bank.
The directors accept responsibility for the financial statements, which have been prepared using appropriate account-
ing policies supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates, in conformity with International Financial
Reporting Standards, the Companies Act of Uganda, 2012 and Financial Institutions Act 2004. The directors are of
the opinion that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the financial affairs and the profit and
cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2014. The directors further accept responsibility for the maintenance of
accounting records that may be relied upon in the preparation of financial statements, as well as adequate systems of
internal financial control.

believe the business will not be a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of this statement.

with the International Financial Reporting Standards, the Companies Act of Uganda, 2012 and Financial Institutions

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
08Report on the financial statementsWe have audited the accompanying financial statements
of Centenary Rural Development Bank Limited, which
comprise the statement of financial position as at 31
December 2014, and the statement of comprehensive
income, 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.
Directors’ responsibility for the financial statementsThe Bank’s directors are responsible for the prepara-
tion and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards and in the manner required by the Compa-
nies Act of Uganda, 2012 and the Financial Institutions
Act, 2004, and for such internal control as the directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of fi-
nancial statements that are free from material misstate-
ment, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the fi-
nancial 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 au-
dit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the finan-
cial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain au-
dit 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 state-
ments, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presenta-
tion 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 Bank’s internal control. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of account-
ing policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by the directors, 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
opinion.
OpinionIn our opinion the accompanying financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial po-
sition of Centenary Rural Development Bank Limited
as at 31 December 2014, and its financial performance
and its cash flows for the year then ended in accord-
ance with International Financial Reporting Standards
and the requirements of the Companies Act of Uganda,
2012 and the Financial Institutions Act, 2004.
Report on other legal requirementsAs required by the Companies Act of Uganda, 2012,
we report to you, based on our audit that:
i) we have obtained all the information and expla-nations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of the au-dit;
ii) in our opinion proper books of account have been kept by the Bank, so far as appears from our examination of those books; and
iii) the Bank’s statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income are in
agreement with the books of account

b Summary of significant accounting policiesThe principal accounting policies adopted in the prepa-ration of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparationThe financial statements are prepared in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial statements are presented in the functional currency, Uganda Shillings (Shs), rounded to the nearest thousand, and prepared on the historical cost basis, ex-cept where otherwise stated in the accounting policies
below. The preparation of financial statements in con-formity with IFRS requires the use of estimates and as-sumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Bank’s account-ing policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judg-ment or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.
c New and amended standards and interpretationsThe accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. Amendments result-ing from improvements to IFRSs to the following stand-ards did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Bank:
• Investment Entities – Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclo-sure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 27 Sepa-rate Financial Statements

d Standards issued but not yet effectiveStandards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the Bank’s financial statements are listed below. This listing is of standards and interpretations issued, which the Bank reasonably expects to be ap-plicable at a future date. The Bank intends to adopt those standards when they become effective. The Bank expects that adoption of these standards, amend-ments and interpretations in most cases not to have any significant impact on the Bank’s financial position or performance in the period of initial application but additional disclosures will be required. In cases where it will have an impact the Bank is still assessing the pos-sible impact.
NUMBER TITLE EFFECTIVE DATE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
1-Jan-18 In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard in-troduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early application permitted. Retrospective application is required, but compara-tive information is not compulsory. Early application of previous versions of IFRS 9 (2009, 2010 and 2013) is permitted if the date of initial application is before 1 February 2015. The adoption of IFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Bank’s financial assets, but no impact on the classifica-tion and measurement of the Bank’s financial liabilities.
Amendments to IAS 19
Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions
1-July-14 IAS 19 requires an entity to consider contributions from employees or third parties when accounting for defined benefit plans. Where the contributions are linked to service, they should be attributed to periods of service as a negative benefit. These amendments clarify that, if the amount of the contributions is inde-pendent of the number of years of service, an entity is permitted to recognise such contributions as a re-duction in the service cost in the period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contribu-tions to the periods of service. This amendment is ef-fective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. It is not expected that this amendment would be relevant to the Bank, since the Bank does not have defined benefit plans with contributions from employ-ees or third parties.

Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consid-eration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a cus-tomer.The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognising revenue.The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition re-quirements under IFRS. Either a full or modified retro-spective application is required for annual periods be-ginning on or after 1 January 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.
The standards issued but not yet effective which the Bank does not expect to have an impact on the financial statements are listed below:

9.6 2010-2012 cycle (issued in December 2013)In the 2010-2012 annual improvements cycle, the IASB issued seven amendments to six standards, summaries of which are provided below. Other than amendments that only affect the standards’ Basis for Conclusions, the changes are effective 1 July 2014. Earlierapplication is permitted and must be disclosed.IFRS 2 Share-based Payment: Definitions of vesting conditionsThe amendment defines ‘performance condition’ and ‘service condition’ to clarify variousissues, including the following:• Aperformanceconditionmustcontainaservice
condition• A performance target must be met while the
counterparty is rendering service
• Aperformance targetmayrelate to theopera-tions or activities of an entity, or to those of an-other entity in the same group
• A performance condition may be a market ornon-market condition
• If the counterparty, regardless of the reason,ceases to provide service during the vesting pe-riod, the service condition is not satisfied
• Theamendmentmustbeappliedprospectively.
IFRS 3 Business Combinations: Accounting for con-tingent consideration in a business combinationThe amendment clarifies that all contingent considera-tion arrangements classified as liabilities or assets aris-ing from a business combination must be subsequently measured atfair value through profit or loss whether or not they fall within the scope of IFRS 9 (or IAS 39, as applicable). The amendment must be applied prospectively.
IFRS 8 Operating Segments: Aggregation of op-erating segmentsThe amendment clarifies that an entity must disclose the judgements made by managementin applying the aggregation criteria in IFRS 8.12, includ-ing a brief description of operatingsegments that have been aggregated and the economic characteristics (e.g., sales and grossmargins) used to assess whether the segments are simi-lar. The amendment must be applied retrospectively.
9.7 Reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assetsThe amendment clarifies that the reconciliation of seg-ment assets to total assets isrequired to be disclosed only if the reconciliation is re-

ported to the chief operating decisionmaker, similar to the required disclosure for segment liabilities. The amendment must be applied retrospec-tively.
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement: Short-term re-ceivables and payablesThe amendment clarifies in the Basis for Conclusions that short-term receivables and payables with no stat-ed interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial. The amendment is effective immediately.
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 In-tangible Assets: Revaluation method – proportionate restatement of accumulated depreciation/amortisation
The amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 clarify that the revaluation can be performed, asfollows:• Adjustthegrosscarryingamountoftheassetto
market valueOR• Determine the market value of the carrying
amount and adjust the gross carrying amount proportionately so that the resulting carrying amount equals the market value
The amendments also clarify that accumulated depreciation/amortisation is the difference be-tween the gross and carrying amounts of the asset. The amendments must be applied retro-spectively.
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures: Key manage-ment personnelThe amendment clarifies that a management entity – an entity that provides key management personnel servic-es – is a related party subject to the related party dis-closures. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to disclose the expenses incurred for management services. The amendment must be ap-plied retrospectively.In the 2012-2014 annual improvements cycle, the IASB issued five amendments to four standards, summaries of which are provided below. The changes are effec-tive 1 January 2016. Earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed.
IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations: Changes in methods of disposalAssets (or disposal groups) are generally disposed of either through sale or distribution to owners. The amendment clarifies that changing from one of these disposal methods to the other would not be considered
a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is, therefore, no interruption of the application of the requirements in IFRS 5. The changes are effective 1 January 2016. Earlier application is per-mitted and must be disclosed. The amendment must be applied prospectively. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Bank.
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Servicing contractsThe amendment clarifies that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. An entity must assess the nature of the fee and the arrangement against the guidance for continuing involvement in IFRS 7.B30 and IFRS 7.42C in order to assess whether the disclosures are required. The assessment of which servicing contracts constitute continuing involvement must be done retrospectively. However, the required disclosures would not need to be provided for any period beginning before the annual period in which the entity first applies the amendments.
Applicability of the offsetting disclosures to con-densed interim financial statements:The amendment clarifies that the offsetting disclosure requirements do not apply to condensed interim finan-cial statements, unless such disclosures provide a sig-nificant update to the information reported in the most recent annual report. The changes are effective 1 Janu-ary 2016. Earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. The amendment must be applied retrospec-tively. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Bank.
IAS 19 Employee Benefits: Discount rate: region-al market issueThe amendment clarifies that market depth of high quality corporate bonds is assessed based on the cur-rency in which the obligation is denominated, rather than the country where the obligation is located. When there is no deep market for high quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bond rates must be used. The amendment must be applied prospec-tively. The changes are effective 1 January 2016. Earlier application is permitted and must be disclosed. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Bank.
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting: Disclosure of information ‘elsewhere in the interim financial report’The amendment clarifies that the required interim dis-closures must either be in the interim financial state-ments or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the interim financial report (e.g., in the
40 Centenary BankAnnual Report 2014

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
management commentary or risk report). The other information within the interim financial report must be available to users on the same terms as the interim fi-nancial statements and at the same time. The changes are effective 1 January 2016. Earlier application is per-mitted and must be disclosed. The amendment must be applied retrospectively. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Bank.
9.8 Interest income and expense
Interest income and expense on all interest bearing in-struments are recognised using the effective interest method in profit or loss. The effective interest method is a method of calculat-ing the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective inter-est rate is the rate that exactly discounts financial in-struments estimated future cash payments or receipts through its expected life or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount.
Once a financial asset or a group of similar financial as-sets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognised based on the rate of interest that was used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
9.9 Fees and commission income
Fees and commissions are generally recognised on an accrual basis when the service has been provided. Loan commitment fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred (together with related direct costs) and recognised as an adjustment to the effective inter-est rate on the loan.Other fees and commissions include; Loan and lease processing fees, Commitment Fees Overdraft to Customers, commissions on Advance Payment Guar-antees, bid bonds & Guarantees ,drafts Payable, bills Payable, Inter-branch, RTGS /EFT Transfers ,Cheques, uncleared Effects and ledger fees .
9.10 Translation of foreign currencies
The accounting records are maintained in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates, Uganda Shillings (“the functional cur-rency”). Transactions in foreign currencies during the year are converted into Uganda shilling using the ex-change rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the transla-tion at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recog-nised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Non–monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rates as at the date of recognition.
9.11 Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
a. Financial assets Initial recognition and measurementFinancial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or avail-able-for-sale financial assets. All financial assets are rec-ognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial as-sets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Bank commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Subsequent measurementFor purposes of subsequent measurement financial as-sets are classified in four categories:
• Financialassetsatfairvaluethroughprofitorloss• Loansandreceivables• Held-to-maturityinvestments• Available-for-salefinancialinvestments
Financial assets at fair value through profit or lossFinancial assets at fair value through profit or loss in-clude financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments as defined by IAS 39. The Bank has designated its financial assets held for trading, at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value presented as finance costs (negative net changes in fair value) or finance income (positive net changes in fair value) in the statement of profit or loss.

41Centenary BankAnnual Report 2014
CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Loans and receivablesThis category is the most relevant to the Bank. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such fi-nancial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the statement of comprehensive income. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in profit or loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receiva-bles.
Held-to-maturity investmentsNon-derivative financial assets with fixed or determina-ble payments and fixed maturities are classified as held to maturity when the Bank has the positive intention and ability to hold them to maturity. After initial meas-urement, held to maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the EIR, less impairment. Am-ortised cost is calculated by taking into account any dis-count or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as interest income in profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the state-ment of profit or loss as finance costs.
Available-for-sale (AFS) financial investmentsAFS financial investments include equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as AFS are those that are neither classified as held for trading nor designated at fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and that may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in the market conditions. The Bank did not have any available-for-sale assets as at 31 December 2014 or 2013.
DerecognitionA financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a finan-cial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Bank’s statement of financial position) when:
• Therights toreceivecash flows fromtheassethave expired, or
• The Bank has transferred its rights to receivecash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either
(a) the Bank has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
(b) the Bank has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the as-set, but has transferred control of the asset
When the Bank has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred con-trol of the asset, the Bank continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Bank’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Bank also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the asso-ciated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Bank has retained.
b. Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurementFinancial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives des-ignated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial liabilities are recognised initial-ly at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Bank’s financial liabilities include customer deposits, loans and borrowings and managed funds.
Subsequent measurementThe measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or lossFinancial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are clas-sified as held for trading if they are incurred for the pur-pose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Bank that are not designated as hedging in-struments in hedge relationships as defined by IAS 39. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recog-nised in the statement of profit or loss.Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IAS 39 are satisfied. The Bank has not designated any finan-cial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Loans and borrowingsThis is the category most relevant to the Bank. After in-itial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, customer deposits and managed funds are subsequent-ly measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in profit or loss. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings, customer de-posits and managed funds.
DerecognitionA financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or ex-pires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially differ-ent terms, or the terms of an existing liability are sub-stantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.
OffsettingFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the bank has a currently enforce-able legal right to set off the recognised amounts and it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when per-mitted under IFRSs.
9.12 Impairment of financial assets
The Bank assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention of the Bank about the following loss events:
The estimated period between a loss occurring and its identification is determined by management for each
identified portfolio. In general, the periods used vary between 3 month and 6 months.
• significantfinancialdifficultyoftheborrower• a breach of contract, such as default or delin-
quency in interest or principal repayments;• the grantingtotheborrower, foreconomicor
legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
• itbecomingprobablethattheborrowerwillen-ter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;
• the disappearance of an activemarket for thatfinancial asset because of financial difficulties; or
• observabledataindicatingthatthereisameasur-able decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the de-crease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the group, including:
• adverse changes in the payment status of bor-rowers in the group; or
• Nationalor localeconomicconditions thatcor-relate with defaults on the assets in the group.
Assets carried at amortised costThe Bank first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collective-ly for financial assets that are not individually significant.
If the Bank determines no objective evidence of im-pairment exists for an individually assessed financial as-set, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk charac-teristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to be rec-ognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans or held-to-maturity investments carried at amor-tised cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carry-ing amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial instrument’s original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Bank
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
43Centenary BankAnnual Report 2014
CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
may measure impairment on the basis of an instru-ment’s fair value using an observable market price.
The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the cash flows that may result from foreclo-sure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure is probable.
For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impair-ment, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Those characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due according to the contrac-tual terms of the assets being evaluated.
Provisions for impairment on assets assessed individu-ally are referred to as specific provisions, whilst provi-sions for such losses on assets assessed collectively are referred to as general provisions.
When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the related provision for loan impairment. Such loans are written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previ-ously written off are reported as other income in the statement of comprehensive income.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impair-ment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debt-or’s credit rating), the previously recognised impair-ment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance ac-count. The amount of the reversal is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
In addition to the measurement of impairment losses on loans and advances in accordance with IFRS as set out above, the Bank is required by the Financial Insti-tutions Act 2004 to estimate losses on loans and ad-vances as follows:
Specific provision for the loans and advances consid-ered to be non-performing (impaired) based on the criteria, and classification of such loans and advances established by the Bank of Uganda, as follows:
• Substandardloanswitharrearsperiodbetween91 to 180 days – 20%
• Doubtfulloanswitharrearsperiodbetween180to 365 days – 50%
• Losswitharrearsperiodexceeding365days–
100% provision
• Generalprovisionof1%ofcredit facilities lessspecific provision and suspended interest
In the event that provisions computed in accordance with the Financial Institution Act 2004 materially ex-ceed provisions determined in accordance with IFRS, the excess is accounted for as an appropriation of re-tained earnings.
9.13 Impairment of non-financial assets At the end of each reporting period, the Bank assesses whether there is any indication that an asset is impaired, that is, whether its carrying amount is higher than its recoverable amount). If there is an indication that an asset is impaired, then the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. [IAS 36.9]The recoverable amount is de-termined by assessing;
• Ifthefairvaluelesscostsofdisposalorvalueinuse is more than carrying amount, then it is not necessary to calculate the other amount since the asset is not impaired. If an impairment loss is determined, the loss is recognised through profit or loss.
• Iffairvaluelesscostsofdisposalcannotbedeter-mined, then recoverable amount is value in use.
• Forassetstobedisposedof,recoverableamountis fair value less costs of disposal.
The Bank looks at both external and internal in-dicators to determine if an asset is impaired.

9.14 Property and equipment
i. Recognition and measurement Items of property and equipment are measured
at cost less accumulated depreciation and accu-mulated impairment losses.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
44 Centenary BankAnnual Report 2014
CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attribut-able to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their in-tended use, the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equip-ment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property or equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment.The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of the item of property and equipment, and are recognised net within other income in profit or loss.
ii. Subsequent costs The cost of replacing a part of an item of prop-
erty or equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the bank and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property and equipment since this most closely reflects the expected pat-tern of consumption of the future economic ben-efits embodied in the asset. Leased assets under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and compara-tive periods are as follows:
Leased buildings Shorter of 50 years or lease period
Computer hard ware 3 yearsFurniture, fixtures and fittings 5 yearsMotor vehicles & cycles 4 yearsGenerators & office equipment 8 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each financial year-end and adjusted if appropriate.
9.15 Fair value measurement
The Bank measures financial instruments at fair value at each reporting date. Also, fair values of financial in-struments measured at amortised cost are disclosed in Note 4(a).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transac-tion between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the pre-sumption that the transaction to sell the asset or trans-fer the liability takes place either:• Intheprincipalmarketfortheassetorliability,or• Intheabsenceofaprincipalmarket,inthemost
advantageous market for the asset or liability
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Bank. The fair value of an as-set or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. The Bank uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial state-ments are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly ob-servable
• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the fi-nancial statements on a recurring basis, the Bank deter-mines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair

value measurement as a whole) at the end of each re-porting period.
9.16 Intangible assets
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised on the basis of the expected useful lives of 3 years (33.3%).
Costs associated with developing or maintaining com-puter software programs are recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly associated with the production of identifiable and unique software prod-ucts controlled by the bank, and that will probably gen-erate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Direct costs include software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
9.17 Tax
Current income tax Income tax expense is the aggregate of the charge to the statement of comprehensive income in respect of current income tax and deferred income tax. Current income tax is the amount of income tax payable on the taxable profit for the year determined in accordance with the Ugandan Income Tax Act. Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are meas-ured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.
Current income tax relating to items recognised di-rectly in equity or other comprehensive income is recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income and not in profit or loss. Management periodi-cally evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which the tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred income taxDeferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:• When the deferred income tax liability arises
from the initial recognition of goodwill or an as-set or liability in a transaction that is not a busi-ness combination and, at the time of the trans-action, affects neither the accounting profit nor
taxable profit or loss• In respectof taxable temporarydifferencesas-
sociated with investments in subsidiaries, asso-ciates and interests in joint ventures, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differ-ences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that tax-able profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of un-used tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:
• Whenthedeferredtaxassetrelatingtothede-ductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a trans-action that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss .
• In respect of deductible temporary differencesassociated with investments in subsidiaries, as-sociates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the tempo-rary differences can be utilised
Deferred income tax relating to items recognised out-side profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss. Deferred income tax items are recognised in correla-tion to the underlying transaction either in OCI or di-rectly in equity.
Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current in-come tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes re-late to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
Withholding taxWithholding tax is deducted at source at 20% on in-come earned on treasury bills and bonds. This amount is included under the income tax charge for the year.
Value Added taxValue added tax is chargeable at a rate of 18%. Output VAT is the value added tax you calculate and charge on

your own sales of goods and services if you are regis-tered. Input VAT is the value added tax added to the price when you purchase goods or services liable to VAT. VAT payable arises when the output VAT is in ex-cess of input VAT.
9.18 Employee benefits
The Bank and all its employees contribute to the Na-tional Social Security Fund, which is a defined contribu-tion scheme.
The Bank also operates a defined contribution benefits scheme for its employees. The Bank has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all em-ployees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The assets of the scheme are held in separate trustee administered funds, which are funded by contributions from both the Bank and employees. The Bank’s contributions to the defined contributions schemes are charged to profit or loss in the year in which they relate.
The estimated monetary liability for employees’ ac-crued annual leave entitlement at the reporting date is recognised as an expense accrual.
9.19 Contingent liabilities and commitments
Contingent liabilities and commitments comprised of letters of credit, acceptances, guarantees and com-mitments to extend credit are not included in assets and liabilities in note 36. They are accounted for as off-statement of financial position transactions and are disclosed as contingent liabilities and commitments.
9.20 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as ‘share capital’ in equi-ty. Any premium received over and above the par value of the shares is classified as ‘share premium’ in equity.
Preference shares (irredeemable) classified as share capital in equity.
Dividends on shares are charged to equity in the pe-riod in which they are declared. Proposed dividends are shown as a separate component of equity until de-clared.
9.21 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at hand, depos-its held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including: cash and non-restricted balances with
the Bank of Uganda, Treasury and other eligible bills, and amounts due from other banks. Cash and cash equivalents include the cash reserve requirement held with the Bank of Uganda.
9.22 Comparatives No comparative figures have been adjusted.
9.23 Grants
Grants are recognised where there is reasonable as-surance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant re-lates to an expense item it is recognized as income over the period necessary to match the grant on a system-atic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate. Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred income and released to income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.
9.24 Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
9.25 Managed funds and borrowed funds
The Bank manages funds on behalf of others in terms of specific agreements. The funds are recorded as a liability on receipt of the funds and the corresponding investments (as per the agreement) are recorded un-der cash and cash equivalents or loans and advances to customers. Details of the funds are included in note 26 and 27.
9.26 Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of wheth-er the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrange-ment conveys a right to use the asset.
Bank as a lesseeLeases that do not transfer to the Bank substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items are operating leases. Operating lease pay-ments are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rental payable is recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Bank as a lessorWhen assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross receiv-able and the present value of the receivable is recog-nised as unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method. The Bank has entered into finance lease transactions as a lessor (Note 18(b) – Finance Leases).
9.27 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies
The Bank makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Estimates and judgements are con-tinually evaluated and are based on historical experi-ence and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
i. Impairment losses on loans and advances The Bank reviews its loan portfolios to assess
impairment at least on a quarterly basis. In de-termining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Bank makes judge-ments as to whether there is any observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfo-lio of loans before the decrease can be identi-fied with an individual loan in that portfolio. This evidence may include observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the pay-ment status of borrowers in a group, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the Management uses esti-mates based on historical loss experience for as-sets with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows.
The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.
The carrying amount of loans and advances is indicated in note 18.
ii. Held-to-maturity investments The Bank follows the guidance of IAS 39 on clas-
sifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturing as
held-to-maturity. This classification requires sig-nificant judgment. In making this judgment, the Bank evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the Bank fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances – for example, sell-ing a insignificant amount close to maturity – it will be required to re-classify the entire class as available-for-sale. The investments would there-fore be measured at fair value and not amortised cost.
The carrying amount of held-to-maturity investments is indicated in note 17(b).
iii. Determining fair values The determination of fair value for financial as-
sets and liabilities for which there is no observ-able market price requires the use of valuation techniques as described in accounting policy 2 (e)(v). For financial instruments that trade infre-quently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying de-grees of judgement depending on liquidity, con-centration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument.
The Bank measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the in-puts used in making the measurements:
Level 1: Quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument.
Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable in-puts, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., de-rived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques where all sig-nificant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.
Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unob-servable inputs. This category includes all instruments where the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument’s valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments where significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.
The fair value disclosures are included in note 4.

iv. TaxesThe Bank is subject to various government taxes under the Ugandan tax laws. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. Signifi-cant estimates and judgements are required in deter-mining the provision for taxes on certain transactions. For these transactions, the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is dif-ferent from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made. The deferred tax liability is indicated in note 20.
9.28 Financial Risk Management
The Bank’s activities expose it to variety of financial and non-financial risks. These activities involve the analysis, evaluation, acceptance and management of some de-gree of risk or combination of risks. Taking risk is core to the Bank’s business, and the operational risks are in-evitable consequences of being in business. The effec-tive management of risk is critical to earnings and bal-ance sheet growth within Centenary Bank where the culture encourages sound commercial decision making, which adequately balances risk and reward. The identi-fication and management of risk remains a high priority and underpins all business activities.
The Bank’s approach to risk management is based on a well-established risk, compliance and governance pro-cess and relies both on individual responsibility and col-lective oversight supported by comprehensive report-ing. This approach balances strong corporate oversight at Head Office level with risk management structures within the business units.
The Bank has governance standards for all major risk types. All standards are applied consistently across the Bank and are approved by the Board through either Bank’s Board Risk Management Committee or Board ALCO Committee.
The standards form an integral part of the Bank’s gov-ernance infrastructure reflecting the expectations and requirement of the Board in respect of key areas con-trol across the Bank. The standards ensure alignment and consistency in the manner major risk types across the Bank are identified, measured, managed, controlled and are reported.
The standards underpin the Bank’s governance princi-ples, which are:
• Shareholder value: The Bank’s primary objective is to protect and
enhance shareholder value. As such the risks to this objective drive the Bank’s system of internal control.
• Embedded: The Bank’s culture reflects its appetite for risk.
Risk management is achieved at all levels of the business through a suitable organisational struc-ture, policies, and procedure, and appropriate staff training. Responsibility for risk resides at all levels of management from the Board down through the organisation to individuals in office. Each business manager is accountable for manag-ing risk in his or her business area, assisted and supported, where appropriately.
• Supported and assured: The system of governance and internal control
provide management and Board with assurance that risks are being managed appropriately. The designated executives and Board Committees regularly receive and review reports on risks, compliance, governance and control process.
• Reviewed: The Board of Directors considers the effective-
ness of the internal control system and risk man-agement processes, at least annually. The major risks to which the Bank is exposed, including non – financial risks are:-
• Creditrisk• Operationalrisk• Compliancerisk• Reputationrisk• Businessrisk• Strategicrisk• Marketrisk• Liquidityrisk• Taxationrisk
A combination of these risks occurring concurrently would be the most likely cause of significant loss. The Bank’s approach to managing risk on a holistic basis therefore ensures that risk types are not managed in isolation.
9.29 Credit Risk
Comprehensive resources, expertise and control are in place to ensure efficient and effective manage-ment of credit risk. In lending transactions, credit risk arises through non-performance by counter-party for facilities used. These facilities are typically loans and advances, including the advancement of securities and contracts to support customer obligations (such as let-ters of credit and guarantees).

49Centenary BankAnnual Report 2014
CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
Approach to managing credit risk:
Credit risk is managed by means of a governance structure with clearly defined mandates and del-egated authorities. The Board Risk Committee delegates authority to the Management Credit Risk Committee for the approval of credit proposals. The management further delegates authority within its limits, primarily on a risk adjusted basis.

Standard and current:
Items that are fully current and the full repayment of the contractual principal and interest amounts are expected.
Watch list: Items for which the borrower is experiencing difficulties. Ultimate loss is not expected but could occur if adverse conditions persist.
Substandard Items that show underlying well defined weaknesses that could lead to probable loss if not corrected. The risk that these items may be impaired is probable and the Bank relies to a large extent on the available security.
Doubtful Items that are considered to be impaired, but are not yet considered final losses because of pending factors, which may strengthen the quality of the items.
Loss Items that are considered to be uncollectible and where the realization of col-lateral and institution of legal proceedings have been unsuccessful. These items are considered of such little value that they should no longer be included in the net asset of the Bank.

The above table represents the worst case scenar-io of credit risk exposure to the Bank at 31 Decem-ber 2014 and 2013; without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements attached. For the financial assets, the exposures set out above are based on carrying amounts as re-ported in the statement of financial position.
As shown above, 58.6% (2013: 53.8%) of the to-tal maximum exposure is derived from loans and advances to banks and customers. Investment in debt securities represents 30.1% (2013: 26.2%) of the total maximum exposure.
is the risk that a counterparty will be unable to pay amounts in full as and when due. The Bank structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrow-er, or groups of borrowers, and to industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a revolving basis and are subject to an annual or more frequent review. Limits on the level of credit risk by product, and industry sec-tor are approved by the Board of Directors.
The exposure to any one borrower including banks and brokers is further restricted by sub-limits covering on
and off-statement of financial position exposures and daily delivery risk limits in relation to trading items. Ac-tual exposures against limits are monitored daily.
Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential bor-rowers to meet interest and capital repayment obliga-tions and by changing these lending limits where ap-propriate. Exposure to credit risk is also managed in part by obtaining collateral and corporate and personal guarantees, but a significant portion is personal lending where no such security/undertaking can be obtained.

Movement in provisions for impairment of loans and advances in the statement of comprehensive income are as follows:
Concentration of RiskEconomic sector risk concentrations within the customer loan portfo-lio were as follows:
As at 31 December 2014, the Bank had no loans and advances to a single borrower or group of related borrow-ers exceeding 25.0% of core capital (31 December 2013: Nil).
9.33 Credit Related CommitmentsThe primary purpose of these instru-ments is to ensure that funds are avail-able to a customer as required. Guar-antees and standby letters of credit, which represent irrevocable assuranc-es that the Bank will make payments in the event that a customer cannot meet its obligation to third parties, carry the same credit risk as loans. Documen-tary and commercial letters of credit, which are written undertakings by the Bank on behalf of the customer au-thorizing a third party to draw drafts up to a stipulated amount under spe-cific terms and conditions, are collat-eralized by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate and therefore carry less risk than a direct borrowing.
Commitments to extend credit repre-sent unused portions of authorizations to extend credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Bank is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. How-ever, the likely amount of loss is less than the total unused commitments since most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Bank monitors the term of ma-turity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.
9.34 Impaired loans and advancesIndividually impaired loans and securi-ties are loans and advances and invest-ment debt securities (other than those carried at fair value through profit or loss) for which the bank determines that there is objective evidence of impairment and it does not expect to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
55Centenary BankAnnual Report 2014
CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These loans are graded as standard and watch in the bank’s inter-nal credit risk grading system. Loans and advances and investment debt securities carried at fair value through profit or loss are not assessed for impairment but are subject to the same internal grading system.
9.35 Past due but not impaired loans
Past due but not impaired loans other than those car-ried at fair value through profit or loss, are those for which contractual interest or principal payments are past due, but the bank believes that impairment is not appropriate on the basis of the level of security / collat-eral available and / or the stage of collection of amounts owed to the bank.
9.36 Loans with renegotiated terms
Loans with renegotiated terms are loans that have been restructured due to deterioration in the borrower’s fi-nancial position and where the bank has made conces-sions that it would not otherwise consider. Once the loan is restructured it remains in this category for at least one year and returned to normal category there after satisfactory performance. 9.37 Allowances for impairment
The Bank establishes an allowance for impairment losses on assets carried at amortised cost or classified as available for sale that represents its estimate of in-curred losses in its loan and investment debt security portfolio. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loan loss allow-ance established for groups of homogeneous assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but have not been identified on loans that are considered individually insignificant as well as individually significant exposures that were subject to individual assessment for impair-ment but not found to be individually impaired. Assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are not sub-ject to impairment testing as the measure of fair value reflects the credit quality of each asset.
9.38 Write-off policy
The Bank writes off a loan or an investment debt secu-rity balance, and any related allowances for impairment losses, when the Bank Credit Committee determines that the loan or security is uncollectible. This determi-nation is made after considering information such as the occurrence of significant changes in the borrower’s / is-suer’s financial position such that the borrower / issuer
can no longer pay the obligation, or that proceeds from collateral will not be sufficient to pay back the entire ex-posure. For smaller balance standardized loans, write-off decisions generally are based on a product-specific past due status.
9.39 Collateral held
The Bank holds collateral against loans and advances to customers in the form of mortgage interests over prop-erty such as land and buildings and plant and machinery, other registered securities over assets e.g. chattels for micro loans, and corporate guarantees. Estimates of fair value are based on the value of collateral assessed at the time of borrowing, and generally are not updated except when a loan is individually assessed as impaired. Collateral generally is not held over loans and advances to banks within the board approved risk tolerance limit, except when securities are held as part of reverse re-purchase and securities borrowing activity. Collateral usually is not held against investment securities and no such collateral was held at 31 December 2014 or 31 December 2013. As an internal requirement, the forced sale value of the collateral security is over and above the amount of loans and advances disbursed.
9.40 Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss aris-ing from a wide variety of causes associated with the Bank’s processes, personnel , technology and infra-structure, and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from le-gal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behavior. Operational risks arise from all the Bank’s operations.
The Bank’s objective is to manage operational risk so as to balance the avoidance of financial losses and damage to the Bank’s reputation with overall cost effectiveness and to avoid control procedures that restrict initiative and creativity.
9.41 Market Risk
Market risk arises from decrease in the market value of portfolio of financial instruments caused by adverse move in the market variables such as currency exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads and implied volatili-ties on all the above. The objective of market risk man-agement is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable limits, while optimizing the return on risk. The Board grants the general authority to take on market risk exposures to the Board Asset and Liabil-ity Committee (ALCO). The ALCO sets market risk standards and policies to ensure that the measurement,

CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
reporting, monitoring and management of market risk is maintained. The day to day implementation of these policies rests with the Treasury Department.
The Bank manages risk through a range of market risk and capital risk limits. Stress testing and basic risk man-agement measures (permissible instruments, concen-tration of exposures, gap limits and maximum tenor) are used to facilitate this process.
9.42 Interest Rate Risk
The Bank takes on exposure to the effects of fluctua-tions in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. Interest mar-gins may increase as a result of such changes but may reduce or create losses in the event that unexpected movements arise. The Asset and Liability Commit-tee sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate repricing that may be undertaken, which is monitored monthly.
Methods of Measuring and Managing the Interest Rate Risk:There are a good number of techniques and tools available for measuring and managing interest rate risk ranging from simple calculation to highly complex sim-ulations and modeling. The technique that Centenary Bank utilises is explained below:
Gap Analysis:Under this, interest sensitive assets and liabilities are classified into various time bands according to their ma-turity in the case of fixed interest rates, and residual maturity towards next repricing date in the case of floating interest rates.
The size of the gap in a given time band is analyzed to study the interest rate exposure and the possible ef-fects on the Bank’s earnings. Items in assets and liabili-
ties are captured into various buckets, using judgmental factors by studying behavioral patterns, customer seg-mentation, and roll over history, etc, on a continuous basis which eventually leads to a dynamic gap analysis.
In order to evaluate the earnings exposure, inter-est Rate Sensitive Assets (RSA) in each time band are netted off against the interest Rate Sensitive Liabilities (RSL) to produce a repricing “Gap” for that time band.
A positive gap indicates that the Bank has more RSA than RSL. A positive or asset sensitive gap means that an increase in market interest rates could cause an in-crease in the net interest margin and vice versa. Con-versely, a negative or liability sensitive gap implies that the Bank’s net interest margin could decline as a result of increase in market rates and vice versa.
The positive or negative gap is multiplied by the as-sumed interest rate changes to derive the Earnings at Risk (EaR). The EaR method helps to estimate how much the earnings might be impacted by an adverse movement in interest rates. The assumed changes in interest rate are estimated on basis of past trends, forecasting of interest rates, etc. The off-statement of financial position items are excluded from the gap re-port because the Bank does not bear any interest rate risk on these items.
The table below summaries the Bank’s exposure to in-terest rate risks. Included in the table are the Bank’s assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates. The carrying amounts of derivative financial instruments which are principally used to reduce the exposure to interest rate movements are included in ‘Other Assets’ and ‘Other Liabilities” under the heading ‘Non-interest Bearing’. The off-statement of financial position gap represents the net notional amounts of all interest-sensitive derivative financial instruments.

9.44 Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank is unable to meet its payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn.
The Bank is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources from overnight deposits, current accounts, maturing de-posits, and calls on cash settled contingencies. The Bank does not maintain cash resources to meet all of these needs as experience shows that a minimum level of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with a high level of certainty. Bank of Uganda requires that the Bank maintain a cash reserve ratio of 8.0% of total deposits. In addition, Bank of Uganda sets limits on the minimum proportion of liquid funds available to meet such calls at 20% and other borrowing facilities that should be in place to cover withdraws at unexpected levels of demand. The Treasury Department monitors liquidity ratios on a daily basis.
The Bank incorporates the following elements as part of a cohesive liquidity management process:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is in-cluded at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing par-ties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
• Long-termfixed-rateandvariable-ratereceivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Bank based on parameters such as interest rates, individual cred-itworthiness of the customer and the risk char-acteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected losses of these receivables. As at 31 December 2014, the carrying amounts of such re-ceivables, net of allowances, were not materially different from their calculated fair values.
• Fairvalueofthetreasurybondsisbasedonpricequotations at the reporting date. The fair value of unquoted instruments, loans from banks and other
financial liabilities, as well as other non-current fi-nancial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturi-ties.
• FairvaluesoftheBank’sinterest-bearingborrow-ings and loans are determined by using DCF meth-od using discount rate that reflects the issuer’s bor-rowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The own non-performance risk as at 31 December 2014 was assessed to be insignificant.
Financial instruments not measured at fair value
i. Loans and advances The estimated fair value of loans and advances rep-
resents the discounted amount of estimated future cash flows expected to be received. Expected cash flows are discounted at current market rates to de-termine fair value.

CENTENARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
ii. Government securities and investments held-to-maturity
The fair value for these held-to-maturity assets is based on market prices. Where this informa-tion is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar credit, maturity and yield characteristics. The carrying amount of investment securities is a rea-sonable approximation of fair value.
iii. Deposits due to customers and other banks The estimated fair value of deposits with no stat-
ed maturity, which includes non-interest bearing deposits, is the amount repayable on demand and this is the carrying amount. The estimated fair value of interest-bearing deposits not quoted
in an active market is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for new debts with sim-ilar remaining maturity. The carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of this.
iv. Borrowings and managed funds The interest rates charged on borrowings held
by the bank based on WACC or other bases for determining market interest rates. The interest rates are variable and in line with market rates for similar facilities. The fair values of such inter-est bearing borrowings not quoted in an active market is based on discounted cash flows using interest rates for similar facilities.

9.45 Capital Management
The Bank monitors the adequacy of its capital using ratios established by Bank of Uganda, which ratios are broadly in line with those for the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). These ratios measure capital ade-quacy by comparing the Bank’s eligible capital with its statement of financial position assets, off-statement of financial position commitments and market and other risk positions at weighted amounts to reflect their rela-tive risk.
The market risk approach covers the general market risk and the risk of open positions in currencies and debt and equity securities. Assets are weighted according to the amount of capital deemed to be necessary to sup-port them. Four categories of risk weights (0%, 20%, 50%, 100%) are applied; for example cash and money market instruments have a zero risk weighting which means that no capital is required to support the hold-ing of these assets. Property and equipment carries a 100% risk weighting, meaning that it must be support-ed by capital equal to 100% of the carrying amount. Certain asset categories have intermediate weightings. Off-statement of financial position credit related com-mitments and forwards are taken into account by ap-plying different categories of credit conversion factors,
designed to convert these items into balance sheet equivalents. The resulting credit equivalent amounts are then weighted for credit risk using the same per-centages as for statement of financial position assets.
The Bank’s objectives when managing capital, which is broader than the equity on the face of the statement of financial position, are:
• To complywith the capital requirement set byBank of Uganda
• To safeguard theBank’s ability to continueas agoing concern so that it can continue to provide returns to the shareholders and
• Tomaintainastrongcapitalbasetosupportthedevelopment of the Bank’s business.
Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored monthly by management, employing tech-niques based on guidelines developed by Basel commit-tee as implemented by Bank of Uganda, for supervisory purposes. The required information is filled with Bank of Uganda on a quarterly basis.Bank of Uganda requires each bank to:
a. Hold the minimum level of the regulatory capital of Ushs 25,000,000,000 (Shs Twenty five billion);
b. Maintain a ratio of total regulatory capital to the

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014
The increase of the regulatory capital in the year 2014 is mainly due to the contribution of the current-year profit.
The risk–weighted assets are measured by means of hierarchy of five risk weights classified according to the na-ture of portfolio holding and reflecting an estimate of credit and market risks associated with each asset and coun-terparty, taking into account any eligible collateral or guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for off-statement of financial position exposure, with some adjustments to reflect the more contingent nature of potential losses.
risk –weighted assets of not less than 12.0%; and
c. Maintain core capital of not less than 8.0% of risk weighted assets.
The Bank’s regulatory capital is divided into two tiers:
Tier 1 capital (core capital): Share capital, share premium, retained earnings and reserves created by appropriations of retained earnings. The book value of goodwill, current year losses, prohibited loans to insiders; investments in unconsolidated financial statements, deficiencies in provisions for losses and other deductions determined by BOU are deducted
in arriving at tier 1 capital.
Tier 2 capital (Supplementary Capital): Revalu-ation reserves, unidentified impairment allowance, statutory regulatory reserves (reserves created by appropriations of retained earnings), subordinated debt and hybrid capital instruments.
The table below summaries the composition of regu-latory capital and the ratios of the Bank, for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 2014. During those two years, the Bank complied with all of the external-ly imposed capital requirements to which it is subject.

10.2 Shareholders engagement and involvement
Shareholders are entitled to a fair return after all the stakeholders have been settled. Shareholders contrib-ute the long-term operating capital, which together with borrowings, provide the financial resources nec-essary for the Bank to operate and invest for future growth. Ordinary shareholders assume the respon-sibility of ownership and are entitled to a fair return on investment after all other stakeholders (employees, suppliers, providers of credit and Government) have been settled.
We understand and recognize that creating and pro-tecting shareholder value over the long-term is contin-gent on honouring the interest of all stakeholders. In recognition of responsibility to our shareholders, the Bank operates in an open governance environment in which we do not only meet our legal obligations but also subscribe to the best practices in corporate gov-ernance. Considerable attention is paid to the govern-ance process so as to ensure that it is operating both effectively and efficiently throughout the Bank.The Bank proactively engages the shareholders in continuous communication of strategies and financial performance. Presentations of results, shareholders’ conference, one-on-one meetings, Annual General Meetings, and the annual report are some of the ways in which contacts are maintained.
10.3 Customer engagement and support
a. Customer engagement Understanding and responding to our custom-
ers’ needs is the key to Centenary Bank’s suc-cess. The importance of service delivery is fun-damental and a non-negotiable component of our attitude towards customers. Our customers are key to ensuring that we remain a profitable and sustainable organisation. How customers are treated, where we choose to operate who we provide financial support to and our response to customer needs all have great impact on our reputation and financial success.
The Bank engages customer contacts through various means including:
• CentePoints - Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) and Point Of Service (POS)
• Branchnetwork• Customerseminars/workshops,andproductre-
search• DedicatedSalesStaffforlendinganddepositmo-

branches during the week to educate customers about the service. Many clients appreciated and enrolled for the service during the week. Field visits to mobilise deposits and get feedback from our customers were carried out and the week crowned off with a dinner for selected clientele of the branch.
For SME clients, workshops were organized for customers. The workshops are aimed at discuss-ing strategic business opportunities. These ses-sions exposed the SME owners to new ways of doing business, new developments in the market technologically and other offerings that the Bank has in place to improve what they do. The work-shops also helped in obtaining feedback on how the bank can improve its offerings and services.
c. Customer Confidentiality The Bank demands the highest standard in carry-
ing out its business activities. As an integral point of banking activities, banks accumulate sensitive information regarding customers and their per-sonal affairs. Centenary Bank like other banks in the country has always been subject to the com-mon law principle of bank client confidentially. In addition to this, Centenary Bank subscribes to the Code of Banking Practice that requires banks to treat all customers’ personal information as private and confidential. The Bank’s Operational Guidelines and Staff Rules and Regulations gov-ern the conduct and duties of Bank employees, further emphasizing the importance of customer privacy and detailing the procedures that must be observed in matters regarding confidential infor-mation.
We hold a growing array of information about
customers, potential customers, staff, suppliers and other stakeholders. Some of this data is of a personal and sensitive nature. We have a duty to handle this information responsibly. We rec-ognize that there is a growing need for transpar-ency over the way we conduct our business, but we will not compromise on our commitment to keeping customer related information confiden-tial.
In handling such information, we have made a commitment that we will:
• Ensurethatitisaccurate,uptodate,neitherbi-ased nor misleading;
• Onlyuseitforthepurposesforwhichitwasgiv-en;
• Keepitonlyforaslongasisnecessary;• Keepitsecurely;• Keeponlyrelevantandrequiredinformation;and
• Distribute itwithin theBankonlyonaneed toknow basis.
d. Money Laundering Money laundering is the process by which banks
are used to disguise or “launder” the proceeds of criminal activity. Such activities undermine a bank’s integrity, damage its reputation, deter honest customers and expose a bank to severe sanctions.
We fully support the international drive against crime and are committed to assisting the authori-ties in preventing money laundering. We have adopted policies and procedures designed to protect ourselves from doing business with cus-tomers involved in criminal activity.
Our employees must adhere to the following key principles:
• Customer Identification - the identity of every customer must be established from reliable iden-tifying documents.
• Know Your Customer - our staff must know enough about their customers to be able to identify transactions which are inconsistent with their business or personal status, or which do not match the normal pattern of account activity.
• Reporting of Suspicious Transactions – all such transactions are to be reported to the prop-er authorities immediately
We take money-laundering prevention very seri-ously and have created a rigorous programme to ensure that we can enforce consistent high stand-ards across our network. The Know Your Cus-tomer initiative, a key priority within the Bank, is a cornerstone of our anti-money laundering pro-gramme.
Our policy is based on the Financial Institutions Act 2004 Money Laundering Rules and interna-tional best practices, such as recommendations made by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
e. Fair Treatment of Customers Financial products and services are becoming in-
creasingly sophisticated tools. Selling them calls for knowledge, skill and judgment.
For our employees, the basic rules are: • Donotsellanunsuitableproducttoacustomer
- that is, a product that does not meet his or her needs/expectations.
• KnowenoughaboutCentenaryBank’sproducts

and about the customer (risk appetite, objec-tives, finances and personal circumstances) to judge the effect which the products will have and whether the products will meet his or her needs.
• Makeeveryeffort toensure that the customerproperly understands more complex products and their risks.
• Explainproductfeaturesandfees/chargesclearlyboth face-to-face and in any marketing literature and software.

10.6 Employee empowerments and engagement
Employee empowerment and engagement are HR strategies that enable employees to progres-sively make more meaningful decisions about their jobs. Employee empowerment helps em-ployees contextualise and own their work, take responsibility for their results, and helps employ-ees serve customers at the level of the organi-zation where the customer interface exists. To attain the goals above, the Bank empowers and engages its employees in several ways such as those highlighted below;
a. Open Communication Staffs’ views, ideas and value-adding input is
sought, valued and used to improve motivation, performance and business environment. The Bank provides to its employees structured ways through which they make their thoughts, feel-ings, concerns and recommendations on vari-ous issues known easily and regularly through Email, Newsletter, branch and centefusion staff meetings as well as the bank wide annual climate survey. The Climate Survey is an avenue through which staff voice their views and concerns to management thus contributing collectively and positively towards the strategic planning process in the Bank. Hitherto, the Bank has undertaken four surveys: 2006, 2009, 2011, and 2013, the latest being on-line. The primary aim of the suc-cessive Bank Climate surveys is to track and evaluate progress made in addressing identified employee work related challenges and risks. It also captures new issues and enables develop-ment of appropriate empirical remedial strate-gies/initiatives to enhance staff engagement, retention, productivity as well as Bank business performance and growth generally.
The Climate Survey 2013 identified and rated four best performing H/O divisions: Business Technology for prompt feedback & very com-mitted Team, Credit for meeting targets, timely delivery and teamwork, Operations for reduced
customer complaints, good customer service and dedicated Team. Human Resource Division was recognized for timely response, feedback and delivering as promised.
b. Increased Employee Engagement The Human Resource Business Partnering
(HRBP) model was adopted and the Unit was set up and staffed with a Chief Manager and 2 Managers to effectively deliver the HR strategy bank wide and enhance engagement. 45 Branch-es were visited by HR in the year 2014. The purpose of this program was to gain an under-standing of the Branch Performance regarding “THE BIG SIX”, Share the 2013 Climate Survey findings, remedial interventions hitherto imple-mented; new HR initiatives as well as respond to identified staff concerns. The Business Partner-ing team is currently engaging other line divisions to provide more HR solutions to various issues.
c. Plenty of Contexts Most leaders carry lots of information in their
brains. Unfortunately, many employees do not get the benefit of all that information, yet they are expected to take action and make good de-cisions as if they understood every nuance. The Bank has made strides to ensure that important information is shared with all staff in a structured and consistent manner through the Corporate Communications department including staff transfers, promotions, new joiners, exits, New Core Banking FAQ’S among other things. An employee who clearly understands the values, purpose and direction of the company can easily make consistent decisions and take appropriate action at any junction.
d. Career Growth and Self-Improvement The Bank assists its employees set a plan for
growth and rewards them as they advance through internal rotations, promotions and re-designation/re-deployments. That way they are enabled to apply their newly-learned skills as they step up to leadership opportunities. As at end of 2014, 45.83 % of Management positions were filled internally and approximately 77.4% (151) other positions filled internally through re-designations, and promotions.
e. Performance, Recognition and Reward Managementi. The Job Evaluation Project led by KPMG was
conducted with Job Evaluation undertaken for the agreed benchmark jobs. A new and more simplified bank wide job grade and salary struc-
