This excerpt taken from the SNV DEF 14A filed Mar 13, 2009. REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Synovus Financial Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Synovus Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive
income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Synovus Financial Corp. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements, Synovus Financial Corp. changed its method of
accounting for split-dollar life insurance arrangements and
elected the fair value option for mortgage loans held for sale
and certain callable brokered certificates of deposit in 2008,
changed its method of accounting for income tax uncertainties
during 2007 and changed its method of accounting for pension and
other postretirement plans and applied the provisions of Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 108 in 2006.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Synovus Financial Corp.’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria
established in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report
dated March 2, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
