The Company maintains a system of internal controls for all companies within the Group, but recognises that no internal
control system will preclude all errors and irregularities. The system is designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk
of failure to achieve business objectives. The controls are to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance to safeguard
shareholders’ investments and the Group’s assets.
For FY2015, the Executive Chairman and CEO and the CFO have provided their confirmation that the financial records have
been properly maintained and the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company’s operations and finances; and
regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management and internal control systems.
Based on the internal controls established and maintained by the Group, work performed by the internal and external auditors
and reviews performed by the Management, various Board Committees and/or the Board, the Board, with the concurrence of
the Audit Committee, is of the opinion that there are adequate and effective risk management systems and internal controls
in place to address the risks relating to financial, operational, compliance and information technology controls for FY2015.
The system of internal controls and risk management established by the Company provides reasonable but no absolute
assurance that the Company will not be adversely affected by any event that can be reasonably foreseen as it strives to
achieve its business objectives. The Company is also consistently improving the Company’s internal controls and to adopt the
recommendations which have been highlighted by the internal and external auditors to further improve on the Company’s
internal controls.
In FY2015, the Board has engaged the professional services of BDO LLP to assist the Board to determine the Company’s
levels of risk tolerance and risk policies. The Board will take in the recommendation from BDO LLP to establish a separate Risk
Management Team and appoint a Chief Risk Officer. The Board will oversee the Management in the design, implementation
and monitoring of the risk management and internal control systems.
