FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

Overview

The Group has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risks, as well as other market risks from its use of financial instruments. This note

presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives and policies and processes

for measuring and managing risk. The Group’s management of capital is disclosed in note 20 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT. This

note must be read with the quantitative disclosures included throughout these consolidated financial statements.

The Board has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Risk

Committee (“RC”) is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group’s risk management policies. The RC reports regularly

to the Board on its activities.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate

risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed

regularly to reflect changes to market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management

standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees

understand their roles and obligations.

The RC oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and

reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The RC is assisted in its

oversight role by the internal audit function. The internal audit function undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk

management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the RC.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its

contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade and other receivables.

The Group’s financial instruments do not represent a concentration of credit risk due to the exposure to credit risk being

managed as disclosed in the following notes:

NOTE 13CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

NOTE 15TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and

equity prices will affect the consolidated profit or loss or the value of its financial instruments. The objective of market risk

management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising returns.

Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in interest rates impact on the value of short-term cash investments and financing activities, giving rise to interest

rate risk. In the ordinary course of business, the Group receives cash from its operations and is obliged to fund working capital

and capital expenditure requirements. This cash is managed to ensure surplus funds are invested in a manner to achieve

maximum returns while minimising risks. Lower interest rates result in lower returns on investments and deposits and also may

have the effect of making it less expensive to borrow funds. Conversely, higher interest rates result in higher interest payments

on loans and overdrafts.

ordinary course of business The Group holds cash denominated in a foreign currency. This exposes the Group to fluctuations

in foreign currency exchange rates.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to

managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due,

under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, including the servicing of

financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as

natural disasters.
