The entire Board is responsible for overseeing the risk
management function. The Company believes that it is crucial
for all board members to be a part of the process and as
such has not established a risk management committee as a
subset of the full board.
The Board is responsible for ensuring the risks and
opportunities are identified on a timely basis. To achieve
this, the Board has implemented a risk system which allows
for the monthly monitoring of identified risk areas and
performance against the activities to minimise or control
these identified risks.
The Board has a number of mechanisms in place to ensure the
management’s objectives and activities are aligned with the
risks identified by the Board. These include the following:
Implementation of Board approved operating plans and
budgets;
Board monitoring of progress against these budgets, including the
monitoring of key performance indicators of both a
financial and non financial nature; and
The establishment of committees to report on specific risk as
identified.
