To the Shareholders and Supervisory Board of Sberbank
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sberbank and its subsidiaries, whitch comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year 2012, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Audited entity’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
Management of the audited entity is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the fairness of these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Federal Standards on Auditing effective in the Russian Federation and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing audit procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The audit procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management of the audited entity, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated financial statements 2012
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffi cient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated fi nancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the fi nancial position of Sberbank and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2012, and its fi nancial performance and cash fl ows for the year 2012 in accordance with international Financial Reporting Standards.
