(a)The remuneration payable to KPMG, the Group auditors, is approved by the Audit & Risk Committee (the ‘Committee’). The Committee sets the policy for the award of non-audit work to
the auditors and approves the nature and extent of such work, and the amount of the related fees, to ensure that independence is maintained. The fees disclosed above consolidate all
payments, including overruns, made to member firms of KPMG by the companies and their subsidiaries, along with fees in respect of joint operations paid for by the Group. Non-audit
services arise largely from assurance and regulation related work.
(b)In 2025, other assurance services include regulatory sustainability assurance services which amount to US$2.2 million, and the review of non-statutory financial information.
