Key audit matters for the Company and its subsidiaries' consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Impairment Loss of Discounts and Loans

As detailed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company and its subsidiaries' management assess the impairment loss of discounts and loans based on the assumptions about the probability of default and the loss given default. The Company and its subsidiaries uses judgment in timely amending these assumptions and in adjusting the inputs to the impairment evaluation, based on the Company and its subsidiaries' historical experience, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates as of the end of each reporting period. Amending and adjusting key assumptions and inputs used are critical judgments and estimates and complied with the relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, the impairment loss of discounts and loans is identified as a key audit matter.

Please refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies related to impairment evaluation on discounts and loans, Note 5 for critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty, significant assumptions and input values used refer to Note 52 and Note 14 for related presentation and disclosure.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter include understanding the methodology, key assumptions and parameter settings used by the management to measure the financial asset impairment model in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard No.9. Assessing whether it is appropriate to reflect the actual situation of discounts and loans and whether the key assumptions and inputs used are reasonable and consistent with the calculation of expected credit losses. Obtain the information related to the evaluation of such financial assets by the management, test the completeness of the related information, and then select samples from the cases of discounts and loans to verify the accuracy of the calculation. In addition, confirm the classification and the provision of allowance for impairment loss complied with the relevant laws and regulations.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company and its subsidiaries' financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company and its subsidiaries' internal control.
  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company and its subsidiaries' ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
    Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
