Chairman’s Statement 

Dear Fellow CPT Global Shareholder, 

After  significant  effort  over  the  past  three  years  to  improve  our  financial  performance  I  am  pleased  to  report  that  CPT 

Global recorded a profit in the 2018 financial year. Our Australian operations continued to perform well and we experienced 

an improved contribution from our international business in particular North America. 

The Australian business was able to grow both revenue and profitability in a challenging market through establishing and 

building client relationships. In particular, our operations servicing the Federal Government showed strong growth which 

is continuing. The Australian operations provide CPT with a stable platform for expansion and many of the skilled IT experts 

required to resource our international business. In 2018 six of our ten largest clients were based in Australia. 

CPT’s international business achieved a significant turnaround in 2018 with strong growth in North America while Europe 

returned to a modest profit after past losses. As a result the International operations delivered a substantially improved 

profit contribution  to  CPT and were  key  to  our return  to  overall profitability. The pipeline of international business has 

strengthened over the past year and positions CPT well for 2019. 

The North American operations delivered a substantial increase in both revenue and operating profit over the prior year. 

Good margins continued and despite high selling costs a number of new projects commenced with a healthy pipeline of 

potential new business. Four of CPT’s ten largest clients are based in North America of which two were within our top five 

clients in 2018. 

Our  European  and  North  American  operations  are  now  being  managed  together  with  a  focus  on  selective  marketing 

campaigns in Europe to win the most prospective opportunities. CPT is no longer making loses in Europe as a result of 

reduced costs, some active client engagements and sharing resources with our North American operations. 

CPT operates in an exciting sector which presents many opportunities through the continuing development of the global 

IT industry and the adoption of cloud, proliferation of data and the growing need for advanced analytics and AI. Despite 

competition and ongoing change of client needs CPT is committed to adapting its business model in line with the market. 

Our strong reputation for delivering outcomes for clients and depth of experience positions us well to deliver future growth 

and  improved  returns.  In  the  near term CPT’s focus will remain  on  strengthening our core business,  growing  revenues, 

managing our cost base and also developing attractive new digitally oriented service offerings. 

In 2018 our revenue grew by over 14% to $31m with increases in both Australia and North America. After three years of 

losses CPT recorded a net profit after tax of $0.8m compared to a net loss after tax of $1.5m in 2017. In light of our improved 

performance and current expectations for the year ahead CPT will pay a final fully franked dividend of 0.25cents per share. 

CPT ended the financial year with cash of $1.4m. 

The past year marked a significant turnaround in CPT’s performance with a return to profit following three years of losses. 

After continuing extensive business development efforts and a strong focus on costs CPT is generating profits and has built 

a promising business pipeline. We will work hard to maintain this positive momentum through 2019 despite the normal 

challenges and, subject to our financial position, will look to continue to pay dividends to our shareholders. Our improved 

financial performance is a result of the significant efforts and commitment of all of CPT Global’s staff which is acknowledged 

and gratefully appreciated. I would like to thank all of our staff and my fellow directors including our Managing Director, 

Gerry Tuddenham, for their ongoing efforts in improving CPT’s performance.

Managing Director’s Review 

Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

I would like to thank all CPT Global shareholders for your continued support of the Group during the 2018 financial year 
and during the difficult financial years from 2015 to 2017. I would also like to welcome our new shareholders who have 
joined us during the year. 

It is with great pleasure that I can inform shareholders that CPT Global returned to profit in 2018. The profit before tax of 
$1.3 million is the culmination of 3 years of hard work stabilising and reinvigorating the business and driving performance.   

The profit was achieved with strong growth in revenue in North America and Australia and the benefit of the reduction in 
the cost base of our business over the last few years. $31.0 million revenue and the net profit before tax is a $2.6 million 
improvement on 2017. Net tangible assets grew 313% to $1.1 million on the back of the improved performance.  

All regions contributed to the 2018 result with growth in segment profit driven by revenue growth, solid margins and lower 
costs. The exception was the European region where revenue was 1.7% lower than 2017 but the segment profit increased 
30.0% due to the reduction in the cost base implemented in 2017.   

We  are  committed  to  ensuring  that  the  business  continues  to  grow  profitably  by  focussing  on  strategic  clients  and 
opportunities, driving revenue from partnerships and maintaining a disciplined approach to costs. As profits grow and cash 
flow improves, we will balance the needs of the business to invest for growth with repairing the balance sheet to reduce 
debt and build cash reserves.  

Operating and Financial Review 

CPT made a profit after tax of $0.8 million for the full financial year, a $2.2 million improvement on 2017. The profit was 
driven by a 14% growth in revenue and a reduction in the cost base of the Group.   

Our top 10 clients contributed 80% (2017: 80%) of our revenue, grew by 14% compared to the top 10 clients in 2017 and 
maintained margins in an environment in which pressure to reduce margins is part of the landscape.  

Our success at growing within accounts by increasing consultant numbers on projects, expanding the scope of our services 
and cross selling services was demonstrated by 8 of the top 10 clients in 2017 being top 10 clients in 2018. The 2 new 
clients  in  the  top  10  were  new  clients  for  CPT  in  2018  and  were  the  result  of  a  digital  consulting  engagement  with  an 
Australian superannuation fund and a mainframe risk/reward engagement at a global bank based in New York. This shows 
that our traditional core services and new services are in demand and can grow and co-exist within CPT. 

We derived $2.5 million in risk/reward revenue from 2 clients in the USA in 2018. We undertook a 4th phase risk/reward 
engagement  at  a  health  care  insurance  company  and  continued  to  expand  our  services  to  include  time  and  materials 
engagements  in  mainframe  capacity  planning  and  midrange  application  performance.    We  started  a  risk/reward 
engagement  in  November  2017  at  a  global  bank  worth  up  to  US$2.0  million.  Both  engagements  are  expected  to  be 
completed in the first half of the 2019 financial year.   

Revenue  in  Australia  grew  by  5.1%  in  2018  (2017:  4.3%)  and  revenue  in  North  America  grew  by  47.6%  (2017:  -18.5%). 
Europe’s revenue declined by 1.7% in 2018 (2017: -33.3%), however, the cost base has been reduced over the last 2 years 
which enabled the region to generate a small operating profit before tax, FX and intra group charges.

Europe 

During 2018, Europe was run out of North America as part of the greater Northern Hemisphere region. Our presence within 
Europe was scaled back and fixed costs were cut to the minimum required to maintain the corporate structure and comply 
with relevant laws and regulation. Our strategy was to focus on a small number of key accounts and be opportunistic and 
agile in responding to opportunities.  

Execution of the strategy was successful as operating losses in Europe were halted and the reduction in revenue kept to 
1.7%.   

Whilst revenue is historically low in Europe, we have been able to deploy consultants on projects in North America. This 
has enabled us to retain key European consultants and quickly scale up delivery in North America to meet demand.  

Table 2 shows the reliance Europe has on banking and insurance and the challenges experienced in FY16, FY17 and FY18.

North America 

North  America  had  its  best  year  since  2014  with  revenue  growing  47.6%  on  2017  and  segment  gross  profit  before  tax 
growing 40.6% on 2017.  

The soft finish to 2017 provided a challenge in the region but the pipeline was quite strong, particularly within existing 
accounts. Two risk/reward engagements commenced in November and revenue at our largest client in North America grew 
throughout the first half of the year and finished 2018 41% ahead of 2017 revenue.  In February 2018 our presence at a 
global bank began expanding as we commenced new engagements with monthly revenue increasing 4-fold over the run 
rate in the previous 8 months. By year end revenue at the client was 118% ahead of 2017 revenue and contracts executed 
through to December 2018.  The last quarter of 2018 was our best quarter for the year with the monthly revenue run rate 
1.6 times the run rate of the first 3 quarters. 

Four of our top 10 clients are based in North America (2017: 3) and delivered 86% (2017: 85%) of the revenue in the region.  

Revenue generated from risk/reward contracts increased $0.5 million over 2017 but as a proportion of revenue decreased 
from 36% to 29%. Margins in North America moved against the trend in the industry and were generally higher than recent 
years.  This  reflects  the  benefit  of  high  margin  risk/reward  contracts  but  also  demonstrates  that  there  is  demand  for 
consultants with expertise in their domains who can produce high quality delivery and outcomes. 

Overall, the turnaround in North America is very encouraging and the strong finish to the year and pipeline of work give 
us optimism for 2019.

Table 3 shows that revenue is concentrated in three sectors but the mix of revenue varies significantly year on year. CPT’s 
core strength in North America is mainframe in the banking & finance sector.

Government

Australia 

The banking & finance and government sectors continue to be the growth and revenue engines of the Australian business, 
see  table  4  below.  Superannuation  is  emerging  as  a  growth  sector  with  revenue  increasing  469%  on  2017  and  one 
superannuation client joining the top 10 global clients in 2018.  

Revenue from Federal Government clients grew 27% in 2018 as additional projects and resources were added to existing 
contracts.  A  6  month  extension  to  our  contract  with  our  second  biggest  client  takes  our  contracted  work  through  to 
December 2018 with an increase in the scope of services and number of consultants engaged. 

Growth in the banking & finance sector has been constrained with clients transforming the way they work based on agile 
at scale methodologies. During the transformation, freezes on head count are often employed while teams are restructured 
and redundancy programs implemented. We expect these restructures to be completed during the first half of 2019, after 
which we will be able to assess the ongoing impact on revenue and growth.  Growth has been further constrained as tier 1 
clients continue to put pressure on margins and rationalise supplier panels. While we have seen 20% growth in revenue at 
our largest client, an Australian bank, this was partially offset by lower revenues at a second Australian bank.   

The drop in revenue in the IT&C sector is due to projects on one national telecommunications client completing and the 
company going through a restructure. We have maintained existing revenue and growing the account again are a focus 
for 2019. 

Our digital consulting practice generated revenue of $1.0 million in the first full year of operation from a combination of 
digital strategy consulting and selling partner software and services.   

The growth in the Australian business is profitable with margins decreasing slightly in the banking sector but maintained 
or increased in other sectors despite the general pressure on margins in the industry. Six of our top 10 clients by revenue 
are based in Australia.

Financial Results 

Financial Performance 

CPT  Global’s  revenue  for  the year  ended  30  June  2018  was  $31.0  million,  a  14.3%  increase  on  2017’s  revenue  of  $27.2 
million. CPT Global’s net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2018 was $0.8 million, an improvement of $2.2 million 
on the 30 June 2017 result.  

The improvement in performance is a result of: 

 

 

 

profitable growth in the North American and Australian regions; 

an operating profit in Europe after several years of losses as the cost base of the region was reduced; and  

cost control across the Group. 

Basic earnings per share amounted to 2.09 cents per share (diluted earnings 2.06 cents per share). 

Financial Position 

CPT Global’s balance sheet reflected net tangible assets of $1.1 million as at 30 June 2018 (2017: $0.3 million).  Net assets 
are $5.4 million (2017: $4.6 million) 

 

  Unbilled revenue (WIP) has increased by $1.5 million. The increase in 2018 is due to 2 risk/reward contracts in 
progress in North America at year end with WIP of $1.9 million. At 30 June 2017, the WIP relating to risk/reward 
contracts was only $0.1 million; 
Trade and other receivables decreased $0.7 million despite the increase in revenue as the 2017 balance includes 
2 overdue debtors with a balance of $1.7 million owing. This was paid in July 2018. Without the overdue payment 
in 2018, trade and other receivables increased in line with the increase in revenue;  
Trade and other payables increased by $0.7 million as consultant numbers increased with the growth in revenue, 
particularly  in  North  America  during  the  4th  quarter  of  2018  and  revenue  received  in  advance  increased  $0.3 
million. The percentage increase, 11.6%, is less than the growth in revenue which reflects the lower cost base of 
the business; and 
Borrowings  at  year  end  relate  to  the  loan  facility  provided  by  Efic  to  fund  the  risk/reward  contracts  in  North 
America.

Cash Flow 

CPT had $1.4 million in cash at 30 June 2018 ($1.7 million 30 June 2017) and a net cash outflow of $0.2 million for the 
financial year. We also had access to $1.7 million in additional funding in our facilities. 

Our strong cash management processes, Australian debtor funding facility, early payment programs with clients in North 
America, Efic loan and the increase in revenue in Australia and North America all contributed to CPT being able to manage 
the cash flow challenges in 2018.  

The decrease in cash at 30 June 2018 is due to the revenue locked up in WIP which will convert to cash in 2019 and the 
payment of our tax obligations in Canada under a payment plan agreed with the Canadian Revenue Authority.  

Capital Management  

A fully franked dividend of 0.25 cents per share will be paid for 2018.  

Our debtor funding facility has a limit of $5.0 million of which there was no outstanding balance at 30 June 2018 and $1.1 
million was available to draw on. Our facility with Efic has a limit of $1.2 million of which $0.5 million was drawn down at 
30 June 2018 and $0.7 million was available to draw on. 

During 2019 our focus will be on growing operating profit and cash flows to reduce our reliance on debtor facilities and 
the associated costs and repay other debts so that we can rebuild our cash position. We intend to pay dividends consistently 
and increase the payout ratio as our financial performance allows. 

Our People 

To CPT’s people I thank you on behalf of the Board of directors and the executive team for the professional way in which 
you have continued to deliver the high quality of service to our clients and to the business during a difficult couple of years 
for CPT and a period of transition and transformation to becoming a digital services leader. Returning CPT to profit could 
not have been achieved without the loyalty and dedication of our employees and consultants. 

Strategy 

Our clients are operating in an environment in which innovation, disruption, digital transformation, speed to market, quality 
assurance and cost control are driving strategic and operational decision making. Our digital practice will become a core 
component of our services and drive new products, services and strategic alliances.  

Our offering to our clients is enhanced by our existing partnerships and we continue to investigate opportunities to partner 
with world class software vendors and service providers.   

Our core services of capacity planning, performance and testing will continue to be the backbone of the business with the 
focus on growing within our existing accounts and targeting a core group of strategic new accounts.  

Customer facing web and mobile applications are driving an increase in transactions on mainframes and the release of the 
IBM mainframe z14 has seen delivered MIPS grow as clients move through the upgrade cycle faster than expected. A recent 
survey  of  CIOs  suggests  that  MIPS  have  increased  as  much  as  41%  as  mobile  and  other  new  technologies  increase 
transactions on the mainframe. The speed of digital transformation is forcing companies to modernise their mainframe 
tools  and  integrate  mainframe  and  non-mainframe  DevOps  processes.  Our  mainframe  optimisation,  tuning  and  cost 
reduction services combined with our strategic  partners’ modern DevOps toolsets will  drive new services, products and 
opportunities.  

The Outlook 

The  momentum  we  have  built  in  North  America  and  with  the  Federal  Government  in  Australia  is  expected  to  continue 
through  the  first  half  of  2019  with  major  projects  contracted  and  the  2  active  risk/reward  engagements  coming  to 
completion towards the end of the half year. However, we are fully aware that there is still a lot of work to do to shore up 
the balance sheet, build our cash reserves and continue to grow profit.

Managing Director’s Review 

The Australian business is expected to  continue to  grow steadily although  this will be concentrated  in the Government 
sector where revenue growth is expected to be strong and exceed the growth of 2018. Margins are expected to decline 
marginally on higher volumes in the sector. A major contract renewal is due at a government agency in late December, but 
we are optimistic of a 6 month extension. Revenue growth in the first half in the banking & finance sector is likely to be flat 
to negative as clients complete their  transformations to new ways of working. Until these reorganisations are complete 
there is uncertainty about the impact on our business.  

The momentum and pipeline in North America indicate a strong first half in 2019. With a contract renewal in December at 
our second biggest client in North America and risk/reward engagements due to complete in the first half, our focus is on 
locking the contract renewal in and moving the risk/reward engagements into new phases. As Canada starts down the path 
of introducing a real time payments platform, CPT is well placed to provide expert consulting services given our experience 
on the New Payments Platform released in Australia in 2018 and our existing relationships with Canada’s major banks.   We 
have started to provide strategic consulting services to two banks in Canada. Our focus in North America is to continue to 
grow within our existing clients, convert risk/reward clients to long term recurrent revenue and grow our other services at 
existing and new clients.  

In Asia we will continue to use our partner model in the medium term to identify and convert opportunities.  The pipeline 
in Asia is encouraging and projects will continue to be undertaken on an opportunistic basis in the short term.   

Europe will continue to be managed as part of the greater Northern Hemisphere region with a scaled back presence and 
fixed  cost  base.  This  will  allow  us  to  adjust  our  strategy  quickly  as  the  need  arises.  Projects  will  be  undertaken  on  an 
opportunistic basis in the short term.

Corporate Governance Statement 

The Board of Directors of CPT Global is responsible for the corporate governance of the group.  The Board guides and 
monitors the business and affairs of CPT Global on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom 
they are accountable. 

The format of the Corporate Governance Statement is based on the Australian Stock Exchange Corporate Governance 
Council's  (the  Council's)  "Corporate  Governance  Principals  and  Recommendations"  (the  Recommendations).  In 
accordance  with  the  Council's  recommendations,  the  Corporate  Governance  Statement  must  contain  certain  specific 
information and must disclose the extent to which the company has followed the guidelines during the period. Where a 
recommendation has not been followed, that fact is disclosed, together with the reasons for the departure.   

CPT  Global’s  Corporate  Governance  Statement  is  structured  with  reference  to  the  Corporate  Governance  Council's 
principles and recommendations. 

A summary of CPT Global’s corporate governance policies and practices can be found at www.cptglobal.com/investor-
centre/.  

Principle 1: Lay solid foundations for management and oversight 

Functions reserved for the Board 

The Board is responsible for governing the Company, providing leadership and monitoring CPT Global on behalf of its 
shareholders. In addition, the Board is responsible, along with management, for identifying areas of significant business 
risk and ensuring arrangements are in place to adequately manage those risks.  

The  Board  has  adopted  a  Charter  that  sets  out,  among  other  things,  its  specific  powers  and  responsibilities  and  the 
matters delegated to the CEO and management and those reserved to the Board. Information regarding the Charter can 
be found at www.cptglobal.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Board-Charter.pdf.   

The senior executives of CPT Global are responsible for matters which are not specifically reserved for the Board. Senior 
executives manage the Company in accordance with the direction and strategy adopted by the Board. 

Appointment and election of directors 

Prior to the appointment of a new Director, CPT Global undertakes appropriate checks and internal investigations on the 
suitability of nominated directors.  

CPT Global’s Constitution requires that an election of directors takes place each year. In addition, directors appointed 
during the year to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors during the year, must retire from office 
at the next annual general meeting following their appointment but are eligible for re-election by shareholders at that 
time.  

The Notice of Meeting for an Annual General Meeting sets out the background, experience and skills of each director 
seeking election or re-election to the Board along with a recommendation of the Board in relation to the election or re-
election. Security holders are provided with all material information in CPT Global’s possession relevant to a decision on 
whether or not to elect or re-elect a director. 

Director agreements 

CPT Global has written agreements with each director and senior executive setting out the terms of their appointment, 
including commencement and end date, terms of appointment, remuneration and obligations.  

Company Secretary 

The Company Secretary is charged with facilitating CPT Global’s corporate governance processes and so holds primary 
responsibility for ensuring that the Board processes and procedures run efficiently and effectively. The Company Secretary 
is accountable to the Board, through the Chairman, on all governance matters and reports directly to the Chairman as 
the representative of the Board. The Company Secretary is appointed and dismissed by the Board and all Directors have 
a right of access to the Company Secretary.

Diversity policy 

CPT Global has a diversity policy which provides equal opportunity to all appropriately skilled individuals with respect to 
their recruitment, remuneration, promotion, training and other employment practices. Diversity includes, but is not limited 
to, gender, age,  ethnicity and  cultural background.   CPT Global is committed to diversity  and recognises the benefits 
arising from employee and board diversity and the importance of benefiting from all available talent.   

The diversity policy is currently under review by the Board. During the 2018 financial year the Board did not set measurable 
objectives to progress our diversity goals, however, gender balance is reported to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Our progress with gender balance can be measured below:

On 28 May 2018, CPT Global lodged its annual public report with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency pursuant to the 
requirements of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (the Act). The Act is designed to put a focus on promoting and 
improving gender equality and outcomes for both women and men in the workplace. All non-public sector employers 
with more than 100 employees are required to report annually under the Act. 

The  Act  requires  companies  to  provide  access  to  the  report  to  employees  and  shareholders  via  the  usual  means  of 
communication with them.  

A copy of the report is available on the Company’s website at www.cptglobal.com/investor-centre. Note that this report 
reflects the employee numbers at a particular reporting date. 

Evaluating the performance of the Board, its Committees, its directors and Senior Executives 

The Board’s Charter states that the Board will conduct annual reviews of both individual Board members, performance of 
the Board as a whole and the performance of Board Committees.  

An annual performance evaluation of the Board and all Board members is conducted at the completion of each financial 
year.   

The Board developed a questionnaire for all Board members to provide feedback on the role, composition, procedures 
and practices of the Board and its Committees. The results from the questionnaire are collated by the Company Secretary 
and discussed by the Board.   

The initial results of the evaluation of the performance of the Board are due to be presented to the Board at the October

Principle 2: Structure the Board to add value 

Remuneration & Nomination Committee 

The Board has a Remuneration and Nomination Committee which meets to ensure that the Board continues to operate 
within  the  established  guidelines,  including  when  necessary,  selecting  candidates  for  the  position  of  director.  The 
Committee  is  also  responsible  for  ensuring  that  adequate  resourcing  levels  are  maintained,  setting  and  monitoring 
employment conditions, reviewing the performance of executive directors and senior management and setting the scale 
of their remuneration. The Remuneration and Nomination Committee comprises all of the non-executive directors. The 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee comprised the following members throughout the year: 

  Alan Baxter (Chairman) 

 

Fred Grimwade 

The Board policy is that the Committee will only comprise independent non-executive directors. Due to the number of 
independent  directors  on  the  Board,  CPT  Global  has  not  complied  with  corporate  governance  best  practice,  which 
recommends the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to have a minimum of three members.   

For details of directors' attendance at meetings of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee, refer to page 29 of the 
Directors' Report. 

A  summary  of  the  Committee’s  role  and  responsibilities  can  be  found  as  an  appendix  to  the  Board  Charter  at 
www.cptglobal.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Board-Charter.pdf.  

Board Skills Matrix 

The  Remuneration  &  Nomination  Committee  maintain,  on  behalf  of  the  Board,  a  capabilities  matrix.  The  Board 
composition  is  reviewed  at  least  annually  against  the  matrix  and  the  effect  of  a  proposed  new  director  on  Board 
composition and balance is  also  assessed against the matrix.   Succession planning  in  order  for  the Board  to maintain 
appropriate  experience,  expertise  and  diversity  is  an  important  responsibility  of  the  Remuneration  &  Nomination 
Committee. While important, the capabilities matrix is only part of the process for assessing proposed directors. 

The Board has adopted the capabilities matrix, set out below, which sets out the mix of skills and diversity that the Board 
is looking to achieve in its membership. The skills matrix highlights the key skills and experience of the Board and the 
extent to which those skills are currently represented on the Board.

Corporate Governance Statement 

Materiality  is  considered  from  both  the  company  and  individual  director  perspective.  The  determination  of  materiality 

requires consideration of both quantitative and qualitative elements. An item is presumed to be quantitatively immaterial 

if  it  is  equal  or  less  than  5%  of  the  appropriate  base  amount.  It  is  presumed  to  be  material  (unless  there  is  qualitative 

evidence to the contrary) if it is equal to or greater than 10% of the appropriate base amount. Qualitative factors considered 

include whether a relationship is strategically important, the competitive landscape, the nature of the relationship and the 

contractual or other arrangements governing it and other factors which point to the actual ability of the director in question 

to shape the direction of the company's strategy.  

There are procedures in place, agreed by the Board, to enable directors, in furtherance of their duties, to seek independent 
professional advice at the company's expense. 

The term in office held by each director in office at the date of this report is as follows: 

Name 

Term in office 

Fred Grimwade 

16 years 

Alan Baxter 

8 years 

Gerry Tuddenham 

20 years 

The Board considers Fred Grimwade to be independent even though his tenure on the Board exceeds 10 years as the 
Board expects the Chairman to have a deep understanding of CPT Global and its business and with an interest in 2% of 
the shares of CPT Global, Mr Grimwade’s interests are aligned with the interests of CPTs shareholders.  

Director induction and professional development 

CPT Global has a program for inducting new directors and provides appropriate professional development opportunities 
for directors to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge needed to perform their role as directors effectively. For 
more 
induction  and  education,  see  the  Board  Charter  at  www.cptglobal.com/wp-

Principle 3: Act ethically and responsibly 

Code of conduct 

The Board is committed to its core governance values of integrity, respect, trust and openness among and between board 
members, management, employees, clients and suppliers.  These values are enshrined in the Board’s Code of Conduct 
which requires all directors, management and employees to at all times: 

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

act honestly and in good faith; 

exercise due care and diligence in fulfilling the functions of office; 

avoid conflicts and make full disclosure of any possible conflict of interest; 

comply with both the letter and spirit of the law; 

encourage the reporting and investigation of unlawful and unethical behaviour; and 

comply with the share trading policy outlined in the Code of conduct. 

Directors  are  obliged  to  be  independent  in  judgement  and  ensure  all  reasonable  steps  are  taken  to  ensure  that  the 
Board’s core governance values are not compromised in any decisions the Board makes. 

CPT Global’s policy regarding directors and employees trading in its securities is set by the Finance and Audit Committee.

Principle 4: Safeguard integrity in corporate reporting 

Finance and Audit Committee 

The Board has a Finance and Audit Committee which operates under a charter approved by the Board.  It is the Board's 
responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity and ensure compliance with 
ASX Listing Rule disclosure requirements.   This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency 
of  significant  business  processes,  the  safeguarding  of  assets,  the  maintenance  of  proper  accounting  records,  external 
reporting and the reliability of financial information as well as non-financial considerations such as the benchmarking of 
operational  key  performance  indicators.    The  Board  has  delegated  the  responsibility  for  the  establishment  and 
maintenance of a framework of internal control and ethical standards for the management of the consolidated entity to 
the Finance and Audit Committee. 

The Committee also provides the Board  with additional assurance regarding the reliability of financial information  for 
inclusion in the financial reports.  The Corporate Governance Principles recommend that all Finance and Audit Committee 
members are non-executive.  CPT Global only has two non-executive directors therefore the managing director has also 
been appointed to the Finance and Audit Committee. 

The members of the Finance and Audit Committee during the year were:  

 

Fred Grimwade (Chairman) 

  Alan Baxter 

  Gerry Tuddenham 

Due to the size of the company and the Board of directors, CPT Global has not complied with corporate governance best 
practice, which recommends the Finance and Audit Committee have a different Chairman than the Board.   

For  details of directors' experience and qualifications refer to pages 18 and 19 of the Directors’  Report. For  details of 
attendance at meetings of the Finance and Audit Committee, refer to page 27 of the Directors' Report. 

A  copy  of  the  Committee’s  Charter  is  included  as  an  appendix  to  the  Board  Charter  and  can  be  found  at 
www.cptglobal.com/investor-centre.  

CEO & CFO declarations 

For the annual and half-year results, the CEO and CFO have provided a written declaration to the Board stating that, in 
all  material  respects,  the  Company’s  financial  report  gives  a  true  and  fair  view  of  CPT  Global’s  financial  position  and 
operational results and are in accordance with relevant accounting standards and the financial records have been properly 
maintained in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001. 

The  declaration  by  the  CEO  and  CFO  states  that  it  is  founded  on  a  sound  system  of  risk  management  and  internal 
compliance and control system and that the risk management and internal compliance and control systems to, the extent 
they relate to financial reporting, are operating effectively and efficiently in all material respects. 

Auditors attendance at the AGM 

The external auditor attends the Annual General Meeting to answer any questions concerning the conduct of the audit, 
the preparation and content of the Auditor’s report, accounting policies adopted by the group and the independence of 
the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit. 

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure 

Continuous disclosure policy 

CPT Global is subject to continuous disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001. 
Subject to limited exceptions, CPT Global must immediately notify the market, through the ASX, of any information that 
a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of CPT Global’s securities. CPT Global 
has a Continuous Disclosure Policy, a summary of which can be found at www.cptglobal.com/investor-centre.

Corporate Governance Statement 

Principle 6: Respect the rights of security holders 

Online information for security holders 

CPT Global’s corporate website has a dedicated Investors section which provides information on the Company, corporate 
governance and financial reports as well as providing access for security holders to contact the Company and Company 
Secretary by email.  

The Corporate Governance tab sets out CPT Global’s charters, policies, codes and ethical standards.  

Promoting effective communication with security holders 
The Board is committed to giving security holders and potential investors balanced and understandable information 

about the Company and corporate proposals. The Company communicates with security holders via the financial media 

for significant corporate events and meetings with security holders and potential investors are held on request. The 

Company responds to questions and enquiries made by security holders in a timely and transparent manner. 

CPT Global has a Shareholder Communications Policy which can be found at www.cptglobal.com/investor-centre.  The 
policy explains how information will be communicated to security holders and lists the following channels: 

releases to the market via the ASX; 
through the Company’s web site; 

1. 
2. 
3.  directly to shareholders; and 
4.  at general meetings of the Company. 

CPT Global’s Shareholder Communications Policy works in tandem with Continuous Disclosure Policy   

Security holders are entitled to vote on significant matters impacting on the business.  The Board actively encourages 
security holders to  attend and  participate in  the Annual  General Meeting of CPT Global, to lodge inquiries and  to  be 
responded by the Board and or the CEO and can appoint proxies. The date of the AGM is published well in advance in 
the financial report and in the Notice of Meeting sent to security holders. 

At the AGM, the Chairman encourages security holders to ask questions on each item of business and, after the formal 
business of the meeting, encourages security holders to ask general questions. 

Communicating with security holders 

Shareholders have the option to receive communications from and send communications to the Company and its security 
registry electronically.  

Furthermore, the Company website has a “Contact” section which allows investors and others to communicate with and 
ask questions of the Company. 

Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk 

Policy for oversight and management of business risk   

CPT Global believes that, given the size of the Board, it is crucial for all Board members to be a part of the risk management 
process, and as such the Board has not established a separate risk management committee.  Instead sub-committees are 
convened as appropriate in response to issues and risks identified by the Board and the sub-committee further examines 
the issue and reports back to the Board.  

Design and implementation of risk management and internal control systems  

CPT  Global  takes  a  proactive  approach  to  risk  management.    The  Board  is  responsible  for  ensuring  that  risks,  and 
opportunities, are identified on a timely basis and that the group's objectives and activities are aligned with the risks and 
opportunities identified by the Board.

Corporate Governance Statement 

The main risks that could negatively impact on the performance of the Group’s business include: 

 

 

 

the global economic environment; 

the availability of professional IT resources; 

the value of the Australian dollar; 

  Government policy, budget and spending levels. 

The Finance and Audit Committee is responsible for establishing and maintain a framework of internal control. The Board 
and the Audit Committee have a number of mechanisms in place to ensure that management's objectives and activities 
are aligned with the risks identified by the Board.  These include: 

 

 

 

Board approval of a strategic plan, which encompasses the entity's vision, mission and strategy statements, designed 
to meet stakeholders’ needs and manage business risk. 

Implementation of Board approved operating plans and budgets and Board monitoring of progress against these 
budgets, including the establishment and monitoring of Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) of both a financial and 
non-financial nature. 

The  establishment  of  committees  to  report  on  specific  business  risks,  including  for  example,  such  matters  as  the 
financial risks and concerns and occupational health and safety. 

Due to the size of the company, CPT Global does not have an internal audit function.  

In addition to their regular reporting on business risks, risk management and internal control systems, the CEO and Chief 
Financial Officer also provide the Board with assurance that the directors declaration provided with the annual report is 
founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that this system is operating effectively in all 
material respects in relation to the financial reporting risks.  This assurance is provided prior to the meeting at which the 
directors are due to authorise and sign the company’s financial statements.   

The Board undertook a review of CPT Global’s risk management framework during the reporting period and undertakes 
such reviews on an annual basis. 

CPT Global does not have any material exposure to environmental and social sustainability risks.  

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly 

The  Remuneration  Report  (on  pages  22  to  28  of  this  report)  sets  out  details  of  CPT  Global’s  policy  and  practices  for 
remunerating directors and executives. 

Information on the Remuneration & Nomination Committee is included under Principle 2 of this Corporate Governance 
Statement. 

CPT  Global  does  not  have  a  policy  on  whether  participants  are  permitted  to  enter  into  transactions  which  limit  the 
economic risk of participating in the performance rights scheme. 

Due to the number of independent directors on the Board, CPT Global has not complied with corporate governance best 
practice, which recommends the Remuneration & Nomination Committee to have a minimum of three members.   

Information relating to the Remuneration & Nomination Committee and CPT Global’s policy on share trading in relation 
to shares or equity-based products can be found at www.cptglobal.com/investor-centre.

Directors’ Report 

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW   

The profit after income tax was $0.8m in 2018 compared to a net loss after tax of $1.5m in 2017. Revenue growth 
of 14% and an active reduction in our cost base were the key drivers of the result. 

We derived $2.5 million in risk/reward revenue from 2 clients in the USA in 2018. We undertook engagements at a 
health care insurance company and a global bank. Both engagements are expected to be completed in the first half 
of the 2019 financial year.   

Revenue in Australia grew by 5.1% in 2018 (2017: 4.3%) and revenue in North America grew by 47.6% (2017: -18.5%). 
Europe’s revenue declined by 1.7% in 2018 (2017: -33.3%), however, the cost base has been reduced over the last 2 
years which enabled the region to generate a small operating profit before tax, FX and intra group charges.  Our 
top 10 clients contributed 80% (2017: 80%) of our revenue, grew by 14% compared to the top 10 clients in 2017 
and maintained margins in an environment in which pressure to reduce margins is part of the landscape.  

Financial Performance 

CPT Global’s revenue for the year ended 30 June 2018 was $31.0 million, a 14.3% increase on 2017’s revenue of 
$27.2 million. CPT Global’s net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2018 was $0.8 million, an improvement of 
$2.2 million on the 30 June 2017 result. The improvement in performance is a result of: 

 

 

 

profitable growth in the North American and Australian regions, particularly in the Banking and Government 
sectors; 

an operating profit in Europe after several years of losses as the cost base of the region was reduced and the 
reduction  in  revenue  kept  to  1.7%  despite  the  reduced  resources.    Operating  Europe  as  part  of  a  larger 
Northern Hemisphere region facilitated more efficient management and allocation of resources; and  

cost  controls  implemented  over  the  last  3  years  which  have  been  maintained  across  the  Group  and 
contributed to the reduction in the cost base. 

Basic earnings per share amounted to 2.09 cents per share (diluted earnings 2.06 cents per share). 

The net profit after  tax  includes tax expense of $0.5  million, an effective tax rate of 37%.  This is higher  than the 
marginal tax rate of 30% due to tax losses in Europe that we have not recognised on the balance sheet as deferred 
tax assets and interest expense that is not deductible in Canada for tax purposes.   

Financial Position 

CPT Global’s balance sheet reflected net tangible assets of $1.1 million as at 30 June 2018 (2017: $0.3 million).  Net 
assets  are  $5.4  million  (2017:  $4.6  million).    The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  most  significant  movements  on 
balance sheet: 

  Unbilled revenue (WIP) has increased by $1.5 million in 2018 due to 2 risk/reward contracts in progress in 
North America at year end with WIP of $1.9 million. At 30 June 2017, the WIP relating to risk/reward contracts 
was only $0.1 million. The balance of the movement is due to a decrease in the milestone contracts in Australia 
outstanding at year end.

Trade  and  other  receivables  decreased  $0.7  million  despite  the  increase  in  revenue  as  the  2017  balance 
includes  2  overdue  debtors  with  a  balance  of  $1.7  million  owing.  This  was  paid  in  July  2018.  Without  the 
overdue payment in 2018, trade and other receivables increased in line with the increase in revenue.  At 30 
June 2018, 5.6% of debtors are in 60 days or greater, all of which have been collected in 2019;  

Trade  and  other  payables  increased  by  $0.7  million  as  consultant  numbers  increased  with  the  growth  in 
revenue,  particularly  in  North  America  during  the  4th  quarter  of  2018  and  revenue  received  in  advance 
increased $0.3 million. The percentage increase, 11.6%, is less than the growth in revenue which reflects the 
lower cost base of the business; and 

Borrowings at year end relate to the loan facility provided by Efic to fund the risk/reward contracts in North 
America. $1.7 million in undrawn funding from Efic and the debtor funding was available at year end.

Cash Flow 

CPT had $1.4 million in cash at 30 June 2018 ($1.7 million 30 June 2017) and a net cash outflow of $0.2 million for 
the financial year. 

The decrease in cash at 30 June 2018 is due to the revenue locked up in WIP which will convert to cash in 2019 and 
the payment of our tax obligations in Canada.  

Capital Management  

A fully franked dividend of 0.25 cents per share will be paid for 2018.  

There was no outstanding balance on our debtor funding business at 30 June 2018 and $1.1 million was available 
to draw on. During the year we secured a export finance facility with Efic which has a limit of $1.2 million of which 
$0.5 million was drawn down at 30 June 2018. 

During 2019 our focus will be on growing operating profit and cash flows to reduce our reliance on debt facilities 
and the associated costs and repay other debts so that we can rebuild our cash position. We intend to pay dividends 
consistently and increase the payout ratio as our financial performance allows. 

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 

No significant changes in the state of affairs of the company occurred during the financial year. 

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 

On 29th August 2018 CPT Global Limited announced its intention to extend the on-market share buy back for a 
further twelve months until 28th August 2019.  A maximum of 3,000,000 shares may be bought back during the 
buy-back period. 

On 17 August 2018, David Lynch (Chief Executive Officer Australia and Asia) resigned.  

Except  for  the  above,  no  other  matters  or  circumstances  have  arisen  since  the  end  of  the  financial  year  which 
significantly  affected  or  may  significantly  affect  the  operations  of  the  economic  entity,  the  results  of  those 
operations, or the state of affairs of the economic entity in future financial years. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 

Likely developments,  future prospects and business strategies of the operations of the consolidated entity are 
detailed in the Chairman’s Statement and Managing Director’s Review on pages 1 and 2 respectively. 

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE 

The  company's  operations  are  not  regulated  by  any  significant  environmental  regulation  under  a  law  of  the 
Commonwealth or of a State or Territory. 

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS  
The company has paid premiums to insure the current directors and officers against liabilities for costs and 

expenses incurred by them in defending any legal proceedings arising out of their conduct while acting in the 

capacity of director and officer of the company, other than conduct involving a wilful breach of duty in relation to 

the company.  The total premium paid was $48,675

REMUNERATION REPORT 

The  Remuneration  Report  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2018  outlines  the  Director  and  executive  remuneration 
arrangements of CPT Global in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its regulations. 
For the purposes of this Report, key management personnel (KMP) of CPT Global are defined as those persons 
having  authority  and  responsibility  for  planning,  directing  and  controlling  the  major  activities  of  CPT  Global, 
directly or indirectly, including any Director of the parent company. 

Persons to who the report applies 

The remuneration disclosures in this Report cover the following persons: 

Key Management Person 
Fred S Grimwade 
Alan Baxter  
Gerry Tuddenham 
David Lynch 
Grant Sincock 
Luke Tuddenham 

Position 
Non-executive Chairman 
Non-executive Director 
Managing Director 
Chief Executive Officer Australia and Asia (resigned 17 August 2018) 
Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer 
President North America 

From  1  July  2017  Kevin  Akom  took  on  the  role  of  General  Manager  –  Strategic  Client  Relationships  within  the 
Australian region. This new role and its responsibilities do not meet the definition of Key Management Person and 
Kevin is therefore not included in the Key Management Person disclosures from 1 July 2018. 

Remuneration policy  

The  Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  is  responsible  for  determining  and 
reviewing  compensation  arrangements  for  the  directors,  the  managing  director  and  the  executive  team.    The 
Remuneration  and  Nomination  Committee  assesses  the  appropriateness  of  the  nature  and  amount  of 
remuneration of such officers on a periodic basis by reference to relevant employment market conditions with the 
overall  objective  of  ensuring  maximum  stakeholder  benefit  from  the  retention  of  a  high  quality  Board  and 
executive team.  The outcomes of the remuneration structure are expected to comply with Executive Share and 
Option Scheme Guidelines. The payment of bonuses, stock options and other incentive payments are reviewed by 
the Remuneration  and Nomination  Committee  annually as part of the review  of executive remuneration and  a 
recommendation  is  put  to  the  Board  for  approval.    All  bonuses,  options  and  incentives  must  be  linked  to 
pre-determined performance criteria.  The Board can exercise its discretion in relation to approving the incentives, 
bonuses and options and can recommend changes to the Committee's recommendations.  Any changes must be 
justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. Details of such incentives awarded during the year are 
detailed below. Further details on the remuneration of directors and executives are provided in Note 27 to the 
financial statements.    

To assist in achieving these objectives, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee links the nature and amount 
of executive directors' and officers'  remuneration to  the company's financial  and operational performance and 
shareholders’  value.  The  committee  acknowledges  that  the  creation  of  shareholder  value  has  recently  been 
inhibited by the global financial crisis and the tightening market conditions experienced within the IT industry. 

Performance-based remuneration 

Executives have short-term ‘at risk’ cash bonuses, the payment of which depends on the executive meeting their 
KPIs.  Additional  bonuses  for  exceptional  performance  in  relation  to  the  pre-agreed  KPIs  may  be  paid  up  to  a 
maximum  of  3  times  the  target  bonus.  The  KPIs  are  set  annually  after  consultation  with  the  directors  and 
executives.  The measures are specifically tailored to the areas where each executive has a level of control.  The 
KPIs target areas the Board believes hold the greatest potential for expansion and profit, covering financial and 
non-financial goals, for both the short and long-term. They can include financial, people, client, strategy and risk 
measures. 

The directors are issued performance rights with vesting conditions tied to the share price of the company and 
the revenue growth of the international business.

Directors’ Report 

Company performance, shareholder wealth and director and executive remuneration 

The  remuneration  policy  has  been  tailored  to  increase  goal  congruence  between  shareholders,  directors  and 
executives. There have been two methods applied in achieving this aim, the first being annual salary reviews based 
on key performance indicators, and the second being the issue of shares and options to selected directors and 
executives to  encourage the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. While losses have been incurred 
during the last  3 years and the share price has declined,  there have been  no  increases in  annual salary during 
annual reviews for executives and no options have vested as key performance indicators and performance hurdles 
have not been met. 

The following table shows the net profit and dividends for the last five years for the listed entity, as well as the 
share price at the end of the respective financial years.  The analysis reflects the losses made in the 2015, 2016 
and 2017 financial years and is matched by a reduced share price and no dividends being paid.  This performance 
has  been  attributed  to  the  difficult  trading  conditions  in  Europe  and  the  continued  investment  in  overseas 
opportunities  in  which  delays  have  been  encountered  in  reaching  contract  finalisation  and  tightening  margins 
across  the  business.  There  have  were  no  increases  in  the  compensation  arrangements  for  directors  and  key 
management  personnel  during  the  2015,  2016  and  2017  financial  years  and  performance  bonuses  reflect  the 
results of the Company. The board believes the remuneration policy is effective and can be linked to current years 
result.

During the year, no shares were purchased as part of the share buyback.  The share price during the year ranged

Remuneration of Non-executive Directors   

Non-executive Directors are entitled to a fixed fee per annum for acting as a Director of CPT Global. No additional 
fees are paid for membership of an active committee. 

Under  CPT Global’s Constitution, Non-executive Director’s fees cannot exceed the aggregate cap  approved  by 
shareholders  by  an  ordinary  resolution.  The  current  cap  is  $200,000  and  was  adopted  at  the  2006  AGM.  The 
aggregate fees paid to Non-Executive directors in the 2018 financial year do not exceed the cap. 

There has been no change to the fees paid to individual Non-executive Directors during or after the 2018 financial 
year. 

Remuneration of Senior Executives 

Both executive directors and the executives specified in this remuneration report, have their employment conditions 
formalised in contracts of employment and are permanent employees of CPT Global Limited.    

The employment contracts are generally for a fixed term of 6 months to 1 year and contain the following common 
features: 

 

 

 

 

 

an  annual  review  of  the  Base  Salary  which  is  dependent  upon  CPT  Global’s  performance,  the  individual’s 
performance  and  market  changes.  Any  increase  has  to  be  approved  by  the  Managing  Director  and  the 
Remuneration and Nomination Committee; 

short term performance incentive payments quarterly, dependent upon CPT Global achieving its objectives 
and the individual achieving their KPIs; 

at  CPT  Global’s  discretion,  allowances  and  adjustments  to  Base  Salary  may  be  paid  when  an  Executive  is 
required  to  travel  on  CPT  Global  business.  Any  adjustments  must  be  agreed  in  advance,  documented  in 
writing and signed by the Executive and the Company; 

post-employment  restraints  covering  non-solicitation  of  employees,  contractors  and  clients  and  non-

Performance income as a proportion of total remuneration 

Executive directors and executives are paid performance related bonuses based on set monetary figures, rather 
than proportions of salary since these payments are discretionary.  This has led to the proportions of remuneration 
related to performance varying between individuals.

PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF COMPANY   

No  person  has  applied  for  leave  of  Court  to  bring  proceedings  on  behalf  of  the  company  or  intervene  in  any 
proceedings to which the company is a party for the purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of the company for

NON-AUDIT SERVICES 

The  Board  of  Directors,  in  accordance  with  advice  from  the  Finance  and  Audit  Committee,  is  satisfied  that  the

imposed  by  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  The  directors  are  satisfied  that  the  services  disclosed  below  did  not 
compromise the external auditor’s independence for the following reasons: 

 

 

all  non-audit  services  are  reviewed  and  approved  by  the  Finance  and  Audit  Committee  prior  to 
commencement to ensure they do not adversely affect the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and 

the  nature  of  the  services  provided  do  not  compromise  the  general  principles  relating  to  auditor 
independence  in  accordance  with  APES  110:  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional  Accountants  set  by  the 
Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board. 

The following fees for  non-audit services were paid/payable to  ShineWing Melbourne during  the year ended  30

Notes to the Financial Statements 
Year Ended 30 June 2018 

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of CPT Global Limited and its controlled 
entities (collectively referred  to as ‘the Group’ or ‘the Economic Entity’).  The separate financial statements of the 
Parent  Entity,  CPT  Global  Limited,  have  not  been  presented  within  this  financial  report  as  permitted  by  the 
Corporations Act 2001.  

The principal activities of the group during the financial year were the provision of specialist IT consultancy services.  
The registered address and principal place of business is level 3, 818 Bourke Street, Docklands, Victoria. 

The financial report was authorised for issue on 25 September 2018 by the Board of Directors.  

Basis of Preparation 

These  general  purpose  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  Corporations  Act  2001, 
Australian  Accounting  Standards  and  Interpretations  of  the  Australian  Accounting  Standards  Board  and 
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The Group 
is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. 

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been 
consistently applied unless otherwise stated. 

The financial report, except for the cash flow information, has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on 
historical  costs,  modified,  where  applicable,  by  the  measurement  at  fair  value  of  selected  non-current  assets, 
financial assets and financial liabilities. All amounts are in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated. 

The Group has not adopted any new or amending Australian Accounting Standards and New Interpretations during 
the year. 

Accounting Policies 

(a) Principles of consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements incorporate all of the assets, liabilities and results of the parent (CPT Global 
Limited) and all of the subsidiaries (including any structured entities). Subsidiaries are entities the parent controls. 
The parent controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the 
entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. A list of the subsidiaries is provided 
in Note 11. 

The assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries are fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Group 
from the date on which control is obtained by the Group. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains 
or  losses  on  transactions  between  group  entities  are  fully  eliminated  on  consolidation.  Accounting  policies  of 
subsidiaries have been changed and adjustments made where necessary to ensure uniformity of the accounting 
policies adopted by the Group. 

The financial statements of the subsidiaries used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared as of the same reporting date as the parent.

Year Ended 30 June 2018 

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(b) Income Tax 

The income tax expense/(revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense/(benefit) and deferred tax 
expense/(benefit). 

Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period. 
Current tax liabilities/ (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to/(recovered from) the 
relevant taxation authority using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or subsequently enacted by the 
end of the reporting period. 

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the 
year as well as unused tax losses.  

Current and deferred income tax expense/(income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or 
loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where 
amounts  have  been  fully  expensed  but  future  tax  deductions  are  available.  No  deferred  income  tax  will  be 
recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no 
effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the 
asset  is  realised  or  the  liability  is  settled,  based  on  tax  rates  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  at  the  end  of  the 
reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle 
the carrying amount of the related asset or liability. 

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that 
it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be 
utilised. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and 
tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal 
of the temporary differences, and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that 
net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred 
tax  assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists,  the deferred tax assets and 
liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different 
taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective 
asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are 
expected to be recovered or settled. 

(c) Unbilled Revenue 

Unbilled revenue is valued at cost plus profit recognised  to date less any provision  for anticipated future losses. 
Cost includes both variable and fixed costs relating to specific contracts, and those costs that are attributable to the 
contract activity in general and that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. 

Profits are recognised on the stage of completion basis measured using the proportion of costs incurred to date as 
compared to expected total costs. Where losses are anticipated they are provided for in full. 

Revenue  has  been  recognised  on  the  basis  of  the  terms  of  the  contract  adjusted  for  any  variations  or  claims 
allowable under the contract.

Year Ended 30 June 2018 

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(d) Property, Plant & Equipment 

Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and, where applicable 
impairment losses. 

Property, Plant and equipment 

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess 
of the recoverable amount from these assets. When there are indications of any impairment, the recoverable amount 
is  assessed  on  the  basis  of  the  expected  net  cash  flows  that  will  be  received  from  the  asset’s  employment  and 
subsequent  disposal.  The  expected  net  cash  flows  have  been  discounted  to  their  present  values  in  determining 
recoverable  amounts.    An  asset’s  carrying  amount  is  written  down  immediately  to  its  recoverable  amount  if  the 
asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only 
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of 
the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the 
financial period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation 

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s useful life to the 
Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over 
the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. 

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are: 

Class of Fixed Asset 
Leasehold improvements 
Fixtures Fittings and Equipment 
Motor Vehicles 

Depreciation Rate 
2 – 5 years 
33% to 50% 
12% to 20% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting 
period. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains 
and losses are recognised in profit and loss. 

(e) Operating Leases 

Lease  payments  for  operating  leases,  where  substantially  all  the  risks  and  benefits  remain  with  the  lessor,  are 
recognised  as expenses on a straight line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives under  operating  leases are 
recognised as a liability and amortised on a straight line basis over the least term. 

(f) Financial Instruments 

Recognition and measurement 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions 
to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either the 
purchase or sale of the asset (i.e. trade date accounting is adopted). 

Financial  instruments  are  initially  measured  at  fair  value  plus  transaction  costs,  except  where  the  instrument  is 
classified  ‘at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss’,  in  which  case  transaction  costs  are  expensed  to  profit  or  loss 
immediately.

Year Ended 30 June 2018 

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Classification and subsequent measurement 

Financial  instruments  are  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value,  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  rate 
method, or cost. 

Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition less 
principal  repayments  and  any  reduction  for  impairment,  and  adjusted  for  any  cumulative  amortisation  of  the 
difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method. 

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments.  Valuation techniques are applied 
to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar 
instruments and option pricing models.  

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is 
equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction 
costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the 
contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. 
Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential 
recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss. 

The Group does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to 
the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments. 

(i) 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 

Financial  assets  are  classified  at  ‘fair  value  through  profit  or  loss’  when  they  are  either  held  for  trading  for  the 
purpose of short-term profit taking, or when they are designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to 
enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed on a fair value basis in accordance 
with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value 
with changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.  

(ii) 

Loans and receivables  

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted 
in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

(iii) 

Held-to-maturity investments  

Held-to-maturity  investments  are  non-derivative  financial  assets  that  have  fixed  maturities  and  fixed  or 
determinable payments, and it is the Group’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently 
measured at amortised cost. 

(iv) 

Financial liabilities 

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Impairment of Financial Instruments  

At  the  end  of  each  reporting  period,  the  Group  assesses  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  a  financial 
instrument  has  been  impaired.  In  the  case  of  available-for-sale  financial  instruments,  a  significant  or  prolonged 
decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen.  In the case of 
loans  and  receivables,  impairment  is  recognised  when  collectability  is  doubtful  (refer  to  (g)  for  further  details). 
Impairment losses are recognised in the profit and loss.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Financial guarantees 

Where material, financial guarantees issued, which require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the 
holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, are recognised as a financial 
liability at fair value on initial recognition.  

The guarantee is subsequently measured at the higher of the best estimate of the obligation and the amount initially 
recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation in accordance with AASB 118: Revenue. Where the entity 
gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 118. 

The fair value of financial guarantee contracts has been assessed using a probability weighted discounted cash flow 
approach. The probability has been based on: 

 

 

 

the likelihood of the guaranteed party defaulting in a year period; 

the proportion of the exposure that is not expected to be recovered due to the guaranteed party defaulting; 
and 

the maximum loss exposed if the guaranteed party were to default. 

Derecognition  
Financial  assets  are  derecognised  where  the  contractual  rights  to  receipt  of  cash  flows  expires  or  the  asset  is 
transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks 
and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either 
discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or 
transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or 
liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. 

(g) Receivables 

Trade receivables are a part of financial instruments (loans and receivables) and are initially recognised at fair value 
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost less any provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally 
due for settlement within 30 days. 

Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts which are known to be uncollectible are 
written  off  by  reducing  the  carrying  amount  directly.  An  allowance  account  (provision  for  impairment  of  trade 
receivables) is used  when there is objective evidence that the Group will not  be able  to  collect  all amounts due 
according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the 
debtor  will  enter  bankruptcy or  financial reorganisation, and  default or delinquency in  payments are considered 
indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the impairment allowance is the difference between 
the asset’s carrying amount and the recoverable amount.  

The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss within other expenses. When a trade receivable 
for which an impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written 
off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written  off  are credited against 
other expenses in the profit or loss. 

(h) Impairment of assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to 
determine whether there is any indication that  those assets have been  impaired. If such  an indication exists, the 
recoverable  amount  of  the  asset,  being  the  higher  of  the  asset’s  fair  value  less  costs  to  sell  and  value  in  use,  is 
compared  to  the  asset’s  carrying  value.  Any  excess  of  the  asset’s  carrying  value  over  its  recoverable  amount  is 
recognised as an expense in the profit and loss.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Impairment testing is performed annually for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives.  

Where  it  is  not  possible  to  estimate  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  individual  asset,  the  Group  estimates  the 
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Non-financial  assets,  other  than  goodwill  that  suffered  impairment,  are  reviewed  for  possible  reversals  of  the 
impairment at the end of each reporting period. 

(i) Intangibles 

Goodwill 
Goodwill is initially recorded at the amount by which the purchase price for a business combination exceeds the fair 
value attributed to the interest in the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the 
date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition 
of associates is included in investments in associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost 
less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of 
goodwill relating to the entity sold.  

Intellectual Property 
Intellectual property is recognised at the cost of acquisition and has an indefinite useful life. Intellectual property is 
tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The intellectual property 
has an indefinite useful life as it has contributed to net cash inflows for 18 years and there is no limit to the period 
in which it could continue to contribute to net cash inflow. 

Computer Software 
Computer software is recognised at the cost of acquisition. Computer software costs have a finite useful life and are 
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Computer software costs are amortised 
on a straight line basis over their useful life. The amortisation rate used for software costs varies from 14% to 50%. 

(j) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances 

Functional and presentation currency 

The  functional  currency  of  each  of  the  Group’s  entities  is  the  currency  of  the  primary  economic  environment  in 
which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the 
parent entity’s functional and presentation currency. 

Transaction and balances 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date 
of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are re-translated at the year-end exchange rate. Non-monetary 
items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-
monetary  items  measured  at  fair  value  are  reported  at  the  exchange  rate  at  the  date  when  fair  values  were 
determined. 

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the profit or loss, except where 
deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedges. Exchange differences arising on the translation 
of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the underlying gain or loss is directly 
recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the profit or loss. 

Group companies 

The  financial  results  and  position  of  foreign  operations  whose  functional  currency  is  different  from  the  Group’s 
presentation currency are translated as follows: 

—  assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; 
— 
— 

income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and 
 retained earnings are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from translation of transactions considered to be net investment in 
foreign operations are transferred directly to the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the statement of 
financial  position.  These  differences  are  recognised  in  the  profit  or  loss  in  the  period  in  which  the  operation  is 
disposed. 

(k) Trade and other payables 

Trade  and  other  payables  are  a  part  of  financial  instruments  (Non-derivative  financial  liabilities).  These  amounts 
represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are 
unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables 
are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

(l) Employee Benefits 

Provision is made for the Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to 
balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be wholly settled within one year have been measured at the 
amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable later than one year have been 
measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made for those benefits. Those cashflows 
are discounted using market yields on corporate bonds with terms to maturity that match the expected timing of 
cashflows. 

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave 

(i) 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave expected to be settled wholly 
within  12  months  of  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  are  recognised  in  other  payables  in  respect  of  employees’ 
services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the undiscounted amounts expected to be paid 
when the liabilities are settled.  When measuring sick leave entitlement, only the unutilised entitlement that is likely 
to  be  utilised  over  and  above  the  leave  entitlement  that  continues  to  accrue  in  the  future  periods  is  taken  into 
account. 

Long service leave 

(ii) 
The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present 
value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the 
reporting  period.  Consideration  is  given  to  expected  future  wage  and  salary  levels,  experience  of  employee 
departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the 
reporting period on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the 
estimated future cash outflows. 

(iii) 
Contributions to defined contributions superannuation funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable. 

Retirement benefit obligations 

(iv) 

Share based payments 

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to certain employees via the CPT Share and Option Incentive Plan 
and an employee share scheme. Information relating to these schemes is set out in note 22. 

The  fair  value  of  options  granted  under  the  CPT  Share  and  Option  Incentive  Plan  is  recognised  as  an  employee 
benefit  expense  with  a  corresponding  increase  in  equity  in  the  period  the  options  are  granted.  The  fair  value  is 
measured  at  grant  date  and  recognised  over  the  period  during  which  the  employees  become  unconditionally 
entitled to the options. 

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Monte Carlo and American Binomial option pricing 
model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at 
grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest 
rate for the term of the option.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

The fair value of the options granted is adjusted to reflect market vesting conditions but excludes the impact of any 
non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions 
are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At the end of 
each  reporting  period,  the  entity  revises  its  estimate  of  the  number  of  options  that  are  expected  to  become 
exercisable. The employee benefit expense recognised each period takes into account the most recent estimate. 
The impact of the revision to the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the profit and loss with a corresponding 
adjustment to equity. 

(m) Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which 
it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. A provision 
for dividends is not recognised as a liability unless the dividends are declared, determined or publicly recommended 
on or before the end of the reporting period. 

(n) Issued Capital 

Issued and paid up capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Group. 

Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the 
share proceeds received. 

(o) Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid 
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within 
short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. 

(p) Revenue and Other Income 

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade 
discounts  and  volume  rebates  allowed.  Any  consideration  deferred  is  treated  as  the  provision  of  finance  and  is 
discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference 
between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue. 

The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: 

Sale of Goods 

Significant risk and rewards of ownership of goods has passed to the buyer. 

Rendering of Services 

Where the contract outcome can be reliably measured, control of the right to be compensated for the services and 
the stage of completion can be reliably measured. Stage of completion is measured by reference to the labour hours 
incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours for each contract. 

Where the contract outcome cannot be reliably measured, revenue is recognised only to the extent that costs are 
recoverable. 

Interest 

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the effective interest rates applicable to 
the financial assets. 

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(q) Borrowing Costs 

All borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.   

(r) Earnings per share (“EPS”) 

Basic EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted to exclude costs of servicing equity (other 
than  dividends)  and  preference  share  dividends,  divided  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares, 
adjusted for any bonus element.  

Diluted EPS is calculated as net profit attributable to members, adjusted for:  

 

 

 

 

costs of servicing equity (other than dividends) and preference share dividends; 

the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been 
recognised as expenses; 

other non-discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution 
of potential ordinary shares; and 

divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares, adjusted 
for any bonus element. 

(s) Consumption Taxes (GST and VAT) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST and VAT, except where the amount of GST 
and  VAT  incurred  is  not  recoverable  from  the  taxation  authority.  In  these  circumstances  the  GST  and  VAT  is 
recognised  as  part  of  the  cost  of  acquisition  of  the  asset  or  as  part  of  an  item  of  the  expense.  Receivables  and 
payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST and VAT.  

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows inclusive of GST and VAT. The GST and VAT components of 
cash  flows  arising  from  investing  or  financing  activities  which  are  recoverable  from,  or  payable  to,  the  taxation 
authority are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers. 

(t) Government Grants 

Government grants are recognised at fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received 
and all grant conditions will be met. Grants relating to expense items are recognised as income over the periods 
necessary to match the grant to the costs they are compensating.  

(u) Comparative Figures 

When  required  by  accounting  standards,  comparative  figures  have  been  restated  to  conform  to  changes  in 
presentation for the current financial year. 

(v) Rounding of Amounts 

The parent entity has applied the relief  available to  it under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ 
Reports)  Instrument  2016/191  and  accordingly,  amounts  in  the  financial  report  and  directors’  report  have  been 
rounded off to the nearest $1,000, or in certain cases the nearest dollar.

(w) Critical Accounting Estimates & Judgements 

The  directors  evaluate  estimates  and  judgements  incorporated  into  the  financial  report  based  on  historical 
knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and 
are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Group. 

Key estimates 
(i) 

Impairment of Goodwill 

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units 
(CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated.  The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future 
cash flows expected to arise from the CGU and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. 

Refer to Note 13 for details of the assumptions used in this calculation and the potential impact of changes to the 
assumptions. 

Key judgements 
(i) 

Provision for impairment of receivables 

The Group assesses the recoverability of each individual trade receivable account to determine whether a provision 
for impairment is required for any potentially non recoverable amounts.   

(ii) 

Unbilled revenue 

The Group measures unbilled revenue based on information available at the time of recognition. This information 
includes historical trends, data analysis, significant judgments from key management personnel as to the reasonable 
expectations of future events and completion of projects in progress.  See Note 9 for further details. 

(iii)       Deferred taxes 

In  assessing  whether  future  taxable  amounts  will  be  available  to  utilise  temporary  differences  and  losses, 
management review the past performance of the relevant company, the budgets for the forthcoming financial year, 
forecasts and sales pipelines. 

(x) New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Period 

Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group, 
together with an assessment of the potential impact of such pronouncements on the Group when adopted in future 
periods, are detailed below:  

AASB 9: Financial Instruments and associated Amending Standards (applicable for annual reporting periods 
commencing on or after 1 January 2017).  

The Standard will be applicable retrospectively (subject to the comment on hedge accounting below) and includes 
revised requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, revised recognition and de-
recognition  requirements  for  financial  instruments  and  simplified  requirements  for  hedge  accounting.    The  key 
changes made to the Standard that may affect the Group on initial application include certain simplifications to the 
classification of financial assets, simplifications to the accounting of embedded derivatives, upfront accounting for 
expected credit loss and the irrevocable election to recognise gains and losses on investments in equity instruments 
that  are  not  held  for  trading  in  other  comprehensive  income.  AASB  9  also  introduces  a  new  model  for  hedge 
accounting that will allow greater flexibility in the ability to hedge risk, particularly with respect to hedges of non-
financial items. 

 The financial assets and liabilities of the Group consist of cash, receivables and payables. Therefore, the directors 
do not expect a material impact on transition to AASB 9.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

AASB 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (applicable for annual reporting periods commencing on 
or after 1 January 2017). 

This Standard, when effective, will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to revenue with a single, 
principles-based model. Except for a limited number of exceptions, including leases, the new revenue model in AASB 
15 will apply to all contracts with customers as well as non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line 
of business to facilitate sales to customers and potential customers. The core principle of AASB 15 is that an entity 
will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects 
the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services.  

To achieve this objective, AASB 15 provides the following five-step model: 

 

 

 

 

 

 identify the contract(s) with a customer; 

 identify the performance obligations in the contract(s); 

 determine the transaction price; 

 allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 

 recognise revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. 

The transitional provisions of this Standard permit an entity to either: 

 

 

 Restate the contracts that existed in each prior period presented per AASB 108: Accounting Policies, Changes 
in Accounting Estimates and Errors (subject to certain practical expedients in AASB 15); or 

Recognise the cumulative effect  of retrospective application to  incomplete contracts on  the date of initial 
application. There are also enhanced disclosure requirements regarding revenue.  

The assessment of the impact of AASB 15 is that our time and materials, fixed price and milestone based contracts 
with clients contain performance obligations that are satisfied over time. Revenue will be recognised by measuring 
the  progress  towards  complete  satisfaction  of  the  performance  obligations  as  the  services  are  delivered.  The 
progress to completion will be measured using an input method whereby the stage of completion is measured by 
reference  to  the  labour  hours  incurred  to  date  as  a  percentage  of  total  estimated  hours  for  each  performance 
obligation.  This  is  how  CPT  currently  recognises  services  revenue  and  will  not  result  in  a  change  in  revenue 
recognition.   

Risk/reward contracts are satisfied over time and revenue will be recognised by measuring the progress towards 
complete satisfaction of the performance obligations. The method of measuring progress will be determined using 
an output method as CPT has determined that an output method best reflects the pattern of transfer of value to 
the customer. The output is measured in either MIPS or MSUs saved for the customer and the progress is measured 
by  reference  to  the  MIPS  or  MSUs  saved  to  date  as  a  percentage  of  total  estimated  MIPS  or  MSUs  for  each 
performance obligation. The MIPS or MSUs saved to date is determined by identifying all opportunities identified 
at a point in time and weighting the likelihood of the client realising the savings based on fixed and measurable 
stages  in  in  a  risk/reward  project.  The  weighting  at  each  stage  is  based  on  CPT’s  experience  over  18  years  of 
completing risk/reward projects. This is how CPT currently recognises risk/reward revenue and will not result in a 
change in revenue recognition.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

AASB 16: Leases (applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). 

When effective, this Standard will replace the current accounting requirements applicable to leases in AASB 117: 
Leases  and  related  Interpretations.  AASB  16  introduces  a  single  lessee  accounting  model  that  eliminates  the 
requirement for leases to be classified as operating or finance leases. 
. The main changes introduced by the new Standard include: 

 

 

 

 

 

 recognition of a right-to-use asset and liability for all leases (excluding short-term leases with less than 12 
months of tenure and leases relating to low-value assets); 

depreciation of right-to-use assets in line with AASB 116: Property, Plant and Equipment in profit or loss and 
unwinding of the liability in principal and interest components; 

variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the initial measurement of the lease 
liability using the index or rate at the commencement date; 

by applying a practical expedient, a lessee is permitted to elect not to separate non-lease components and 
instead account for all components as a lease; and 

additional disclosure requirements. 

The  directors  expect  that  the  adoption  of  AASB  16  will  result  in  lease  assets  and  liabilities  being  recognised  on 
balance sheet and  a  change in how related expenses are incurred. The financial impact of  this has not yet been 
determined.

(a)  Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally on 30 day terms.  The average credit period on 
rendering of services is 64 days (2017: 72 days).  An impairment of $67k (2017: $nil) has been recognised 
in trade receivables as detailed below.  

Before accepting new customers, the Group assesses the creditworthiness of the potential client using information 
provided by independent rating agencies, publicly available information and its own trading record.  The Group’s 
client  portfolio  consists  of  leading  blue  chip  companies,  Fortune  Global  500  companies  and  Government 
departments within Australia.  The profile of the trade receivable balance as at the reporting date is as follows: 

Of the trade receivable balance at the end of the reporting period, $421k (2017: $1,522k) and $429k (2017: $110k) 
are due from two leading banking institutions in Australia with S&P credit ratings of AA- and BBB+ respectively. 
$1,112k (2017: $1,447k) is due from an Australian  federal government  agency and $1,108k  (2017:  $334k) from a 
global financial organisation headquartered in New York with an S&P credit rating of A-1. All these receivables were 
collected subsequent to year end.  

There are no other customers who represent more than 5% of the total balance of trade receivables. 

Of the trade receivables balance at  the end  of the reporting period,  a  concentration of $2,737k (57%) relates to 
Australia (2017: $4,069k (75%)).  The remaining amounts are not individually significant. 

Trade receivables that are past due and are impaired 

Included in the trade receivables balance is a debtor with a carrying amount of $78k (2017: $nil) which is past due 
at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  A  provision  for  impairment  of  $67k  was  recorded  at  year  end  to  recognise 
management’s assessment that this amount is unlikely to be recovered due to a dispute about the measurement of 
the benefits realised which has been complicated by a change in ownership at the client. 

Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired 

Included in the trade receivable balance are debtors with a carrying amount of $247k (2017: $130k) in the group 
which  are  past  due  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  but  have  not  been  provided  for  as  there  has  not  been  a 
significant change in credit quality and the amounts are still considered recoverable.  Of the overdue balance, $235k 
(2017: $112k) relates to a client with an S&P credit rating of A-1 with whom the Group has traded with for more 
than one year with no history of delinquency. The nature of the client, namely a global financial institution gives 
further  confidence that these past  due balances are not impaired.   The Group does not  hold any collateral over 
these balances.

TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (Cont.) 

The  carrying  value  of  trade  and  other  receivables  approximates  its  fair  value.    Trade  and  other  receivables  are 
recoverable within 12 months, hence the effects of discounting is immaterial.

Unbilled revenue represents amounts relating to  revenue recognised  in  accordance with the accounting policies 
detailed in Note 1(c) that had not been invoiced to the customer as at the end of the reporting period.  Included in 
the  Group’s  unbilled  revenue  balance  is  $nil  (2017:  $nil)  relating  to  revenue  that  was  recognised  more  than  12 
months prior to the end of the reporting period. The balance has increased by $1.5m due to 2 risk/reward contracts 
in  progress  in  North  America  at  year  end  with  WIP  of  $1.9m.  At  30  June  2017,  the  WIP  relating  to  risk/reward 
contracts was only $0.1m. The directors expect these balances to be billed in full in 2019.  

The provision for impairment of unbilled revenue relates to the same client to which the trade receivable impairment 
described in Note 8 relates. It is management’s assessment that this amount is unlikely to be recovered due to a 
dispute about the measurement of the benefits realised which has been complicated by a change in ownership at 
the client.

During the financial year, the lease on our head office in Melbourne expired and a new office was leased.  Disposals 

of office equipment, furniture, fixtures and fittings and leased plant and equipment are the head office assets which 

were not taken to the new office. All these assets were fully depreciated.

Intangible assets other  than  goodwill  and intellectual property have  finite useful lives.   The current  amortisation 
charges  for  intangible  assets  are  included  under  depreciation  and  amortisation  expense  per  the  statement  of 
comprehensive income. Goodwill and intellectual property have indefinite useful lives. These have been assessed as 
having indefinite useful lives because these intangible assets arose on the acquisition of businesses purchased as 
going concerns.  These businesses continue to be operated within the CPT Global Group and there are no plans to 
cease any part of these operations. 

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units, based on the Group’s reporting segment.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) 

The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is determined based on value-in-use calculations.  Value-in-
use is calculated based on the present value of the projected cash flows from that cash-generating unit over 5 years; 
periods beyond 5 years have been extrapolated using the terminal value growth rate of 4.0% (2017: 4.0%).   

Key Assumptions 

The following key assumptions were used in determining the recoverable amount of goodwill: 

Discount rate 

Gross Margin 

Sales Growth 

Australian Segment 

20.0% 

20.0% 

25.9% 

25.7% 

19.2% 

2018 

2017 

2018 

2017 

2018 

2017 

9.1% 

Management has based the value-in-use calculations on budgets and estimates for the CGU. The value-in-use is 
most sensitive to the following assumptions: 

-  Discount rate; 
-  Gross profit margins; 
-  Sales growth rates; 
-  Terminal growth rates; and 
-  Corporate costs. 

Discount rate – the discount rate is a pre-tax rate and reflects the risks associated with a particular segment. 
Gross profit margins – values assigned reflect past experience, margins on existing contracts and analysis of the 
market conditions. 
Sales growth rates – reflects management’s expectations of revenue growth in the context of the Group’s 
Australian market strategy. 
Terminal growth rates – reflect the managements expectation of revenue and profit growth in the periods 
beyond the 5 year forecast and are based on expected growth during the forecast period, long term historical 
growth, operating leverage and level of fixed and variable costs. 
Corporate costs – corporate costs are allocated to the CGU based upon the CGU’s proportional contribution to the 

revenue of the Group.

ISSUED CAPITAL (Continued) 

(d) Capital Management 

Management  controls the  capital of the group  in  order  to maintain an appropriate debt  to equity ratio, provide 
shareholders with  adequate returns and ensure  that  the group  can fund its operations and continue  as a going 
concern. 

The Group does not currently have significant debt capital employed in the business as indicated in the following 
table.  Management effectively manages the group’s capital by assessing the group’s financial risks and adjusts its 
capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market.  These responses include the management 
of debt levels, distributions to shareholders, share buy-backs and share issues. 

There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the group since the 
prior year.  This strategy is to ensure that the group’s gearing ratio remains at an appropriate level between 0% and 
50%. 

The gearing ratios for the year ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 are as follows: 

Total borrowings 
Less cash and cash equivalents

(a) On 27 November 2017, at CPT Global’s Annual General Meeting, this tranche of performances were rights were 
cancelled. 

(b) On 27 November 2017, at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, 800,000 performance rights were granted to 
directors to take up ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.00 per share.  The fair value of these performance 
rights at the date of grant was $78k.  The fair value has been calculated using a combination of the Monte Carlo 
and American Binomial pricing methodologies for tranches using the following inputs: 

Weighted average exercise price 

Maximum life of right 

Underlying share price 

Expected share price volatility 

Risk free interest rate 

Dividend yield 

$0.00       

3 years 

$0.16 

68% 

1.79% 

0.0% 

Share price volatility has been determined based on the historical volatility of CPT Global’s shares. As the exercise 
price is $0.00, share price volatility does not have a material impact on the fair value of the performance rights.  

500,000 of the performance rights were forfeited subsequent to year end on the resignation of David Lynch. 

The issue of these performance shares in four tranches was contingent upon the following conditions being met:

OPERATING SEGMENTS 

Identification of Reportable Segments 

CPT Global Limited has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used 
by  the  Board  of  Directors  (chief  operating  decision  makers)  in  assessing  the  performance  and  determining  the 
allocation of resources.  The reportable segments disclosed are based on a geographical basis.   

Reportable segments disclosed are based on aggregating operating segments where the segments are considered 
to have similar economic characteristics and are also similar with respect to the following: 

- 

- 

- 

services provided by the segment; 

the type of customer for the services provided; and 

external regulatory requirements

Below outlines the major lines of services provided to customers for each reportable segment:

-  Mainframe & Midrange performance 

-

Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by reportable segments 

Accounting policies adopted 

Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to  the Board of Directors with respect to operating segments are 
determined  in  accordance  with  accounting  policies  that  are  consistent  to  those  adopted  in  the  annual  financial 
statements of CPT Global Limited. 

Inter-segment transactions 

Segment  revenues,  expenses  and  results  exclude  transfers  between  segments.    The  prices  charged  on 
intersegment transactions are the same as those charged for similar services to parties outside of the Group on 
an arm’s length basis.  These transfers are eliminated on consolidation. 

Segment Assets and Liabilities 

Segment  assets  and  liabilities  reported  are  based  on  the  internal  reports  reviewed  by  the  Board  of  Directors.  
Assets include trade debtors and unbilled revenue balances.  Liabilities include trade creditors and accruals. 

Unallocated items 

The Board of Directors review segment performance to only the gross profit level.  All other items of revenue and 
expenses are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any 
segment.  Liabilities are not reported by segment for internal reporting purposes for the Board of Directors and 
therefore have been treated as unallocated items.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Financial Risk Management 

The group’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable and payable. 

The main purpose of non-derivative financial instruments is to raise finance for group operations.   

Derivatives  may  be  used  by  the  Group  for  hedging  purposes.  Such  instruments  include  forward  exchange  and 
currency option contracts. The Group does not speculate in the trading of derivative instruments. 

The board of directors is responsible for monitoring and managing financial risk exposures of the Group. The board 
reviews the effectiveness of internal controls relating to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.  The overall risk 
management strategy seeks to assist the Group in meeting its financial targets, while minimising potential adverse 
effects on financial performance in regard to financial and currency rate risk. 

(i)  Financial Risks 

The main risks the group is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, 
liquidity risk and credit risk. 

Interest rate risk 

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value and cash flows will 
fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rates on classes 
of financial assets and financial liabilities, is as follows:

Interest  rate  risk  arises  on  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  bank  overdrafts.  Interest  rate  risk  is  managed  by 
monitoring and reviewing cash flow forecasts and the trade receivables balance of the Group.  

Interest rate sensitivity analysis 

The  sensitivity  analysis  below  has  been  determined  based  on  the  exposure  to  interest  rates  for  cash  and  cash 
equivalents as this is the only financial instrument materially exposed to floating interest rates.  The analysis is 
based on actual monthly borrowing amounts throughout the year, as reported to management, with the stipulated 
change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period.  A 
100 basis point increase or  decrease has been used and represents management’s assessment  of the possible 
changes in interest rates.  At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points higher or lower and all 
other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit before income tax would increase by $4k and decrease by 
$4k (2017: increase by $9k and decrease by $9k). 

Foreign currency risk 

The  group  is  exposed  to  fluctuations  in  foreign  currencies  arising  from  the  sale  and  purchase  of  services  in 
currencies  other  than  the  group’s  functional  currency,  and  the  translation  of  foreign  subsidiary  results  on 
consolidation.

The amounts disclosed above in relation to Australian dollars relate to intercompany payables and receivables in  
each of the foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not Australian dollars. 

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis 

The Group is mainly exposed to US dollars, Sterling, Euros and CAD. 

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the Australian dollar against 
the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used as it represents management’s assessment of the 
possible change in foreign exchange rates.   The sensitivity  analysis includes only outstanding foreign  currency 
denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency 
rates.    The  sensitivity  analysis  includes  external  assets  and  liabilities  as  well  as  loans,  receivables  and  payables 
balances with foreign subsidiaries where the denomination of the balance is in a currency other than the functional 
currency of the lender or  borrower.   A  positive number indicates an increase in  profit or  loss and other  equity 
where the Australian dollar strengthens against the respective currency. For a weakening of the Australian dollar 
against the respective currency there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit and other equity, and 
the balances below would be negative.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity  risk  is  the  risk  the  group  will  not  be  able  to  meet  its  financial  obligations  as  they  fall  due.The  group 
manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate unutilised borrowing facilities 
are maintained. Included in Note 15 is a listing of additional undrawn facilities that the Group has at its disposal 
to further reduce liquidity risk.  The borrowing facilities may be drawn at any time and may be terminated by the 
financing provider with three months’ notice.  All facilities are subject to annual review. 

The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities.  All such liabilities are classified as current and therefore 
have contractual maturity within 12 months from the reporting date.

For details of expenditure commitments and maturity profile of the lease liability, refer to Note 21.  The trade and 
sundry payables listed above are due for payment within 3 months. 

Credit risk 

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss 
to the Group and essentially arises from holdings of cash and deposits and trade receivables as well as from the 
parent’s  potential  obligations  under  the  indemnity  guarantee  provided  to  banks.  The  risk  is  largely  managed 
through a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties.  Periodic assessments of debtor balances are 
undertaken and provisions for impairment are recognised where appropriate. 

The maximum credit risk exposure is the carrying value of cash and deposits and trade receivables as disclosed in 
notes 7 and 8.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 

TO THE MEMBERS OF CPT GLOBAL LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion  

We have audited the financial report of CPT Global Limited (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Group”), 
which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated statement of 
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the 
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a 
summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including:  

a)  giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2018 and of its financial performance 

for the year then ended; and  

b)  complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.  

Basis for Opinion  

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our 
report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”) that are relevant to our audit of the financial 
report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.  

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.  

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  

Key Audit Matter 

How the matter was addressed during the audit 

Impairment of Goodwill 

Our procedures included, amongst others, the following: 

Note 13 

At 30 June 2018, the Group’s Statement of Financial 
Position includes goodwill amounting to $4,157m 
relating to the Australian CGU.  

We have determined this is a key audit matter due to 
the judgement required by management in preparing 
a value in use model to satisfy the impairment test 
as prescribed in AASB 136  

•  Enquired with management on the basis of 

assumptions applied in the value in use model to 
obtain an understanding of the key variables impacting 
on each CGU; 

•  Obtained and evaluated the assumptions and 

methodology applied in management’s value in use 
calculation including but not limited to revenue 
forecasts, discount rates and the allocation and 
recoverability of corporate overheads to subsidiaries;

Key Audit Matter 

How the matter was addressed during the audit 

Impairment of Assets, including the forecasting of 
future cash flows and applying an appropriate 
discount rate which inherently involves a high degree 
of estimation and judgement by management.  

•  Performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions 
and variables to determine various outcomes of the 
value in use model in assessing whether certain CGUs 
are impaired; and  

Recognition and recoverability of Unbilled 
Revenue 

Note 9 

At 30 June 2018 the Group’s Statement of Financial 
Position includes $2.283m of unbilled revenue for 
current projects.  

Given the nature of the Group’s revenue there are 
significant estimates and judgements incorporated in 
management’s measurement of unbilled revenue 
balances. 

•  Reviewed on the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures 
about these assumptions to which the outcome of the 
impairment test is most sensitive, that is, those that 
have the most significant effect on the determination of 
the recoverable amount of assets. 

Our procedures included, amongst others, the following: 

•  Reviewed unbilled revenue balances to ensure that 
amounts taken up as revenue are reasonable and 
could be supported by signed contracts, project status 
reports and timesheets; 

•  Performed an ageing analysis of unbilled revenue 

balances; and 

•  Reviewed post year-end subsequent billings and 

collections. 

Information Other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report Thereon 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in 
the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our 
auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any 
form of assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report  

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal 
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and 
fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a 
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 
accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can 
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.  

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and 
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. 

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud 
is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Group’s internal control.  

We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 
related disclosures made by the directors.  

We conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on 
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast 
significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty 
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if 
such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained 
up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to 
continue as a going concern.  

We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and 
whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair 
presentation.  

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.  

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them, all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought 
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in 
the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these 
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication.
