Greetings,

With the aim of completing the preparation of banks' financial statements in a timely manner, and subsequently to our circular No. (11141/1/10) dated 12/11/2007 concerning banks' financial statements, we reiterate what was stated in our circular No. (12728/1/10) dated 11/10/2009, regarding the necessity of having your external auditors approve your final and semi-annual financial statements in accordance with the standards and in compliance with the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards and the instructions in force on this matter. This includes stating the name of the responsible auditor, their license number, classification category, and position, in accordance with the requirements of all Jordanian Certified Public Accountants.

Accordingly, the Central Bank of Jordan will not, starting from your final financial statements for the current year, accept such statements unless they are approved as stated above.

Please accept our highest respect,
