Internal Control

The Directors have overall responsibility for the Group’s system of risk management and internal control and for reviewing its effectiveness. The system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of failing to achieve business objectives and can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.

The Board considers an efficient risk management and control framework with an actively managed balance of risk and reward to be fundamental to the Company achieving its corporate objectives. The effectiveness of the ongoing process to identify, evaluate and manage significant risks is reviewed annually by the audit committee on behalf of the Board. The committee also has responsibility for overseeing management action needed to remedy any shortcomings or weaknesses identified.
