Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance
The Company is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).
The Company is not required to comply with the provisions of the Governance Code or the Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-Size Quoted Companies 2013 published by the Quoted Companies Alliance.
However, the Board recognises the importance of sound corporate governance and intends that the Company will comply with the provisions of the Governance Code, the QCA Guidelines and the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations insofar as they are appropriate given the Company’s size and stage of development. The Board of Directors comprises two non-executive directors. The Board has determined that the non-executive chairman, Keith Coughlan, and non-executive director, Mark Freeman, are independent.

The Company’s Audit and Risk Management Committee (or, in its absence, the Board) is responsible for ensuring that the financial performance of the Company is properly reported on and reviewed, and its role includes monitoring the integrity of the financial statements of the Company (including annual and interim accounts and results announcements), reviewing internal control and risk management systems, reviewing any changes to accounting policies, reviewing and monitoring the extent of the non-audit services undertaken by external auditors and advising on the appointment of external auditors. The Audit Committee will have unrestricted access to the Company’s external auditors.
Remuneration and Nomination Committee
