Chairman’s Statement 

Dear Fellow CPT Global Shareholder, 

The benefits of CPT’s geographically diverse portfolio of business operations was fully apparent in the 2019 financial year 
as  the  strong  performance  in  North  America  offset  weakness  in  Australia  particularly  in  our  Southern  region.  However, 
while overall revenue was lower CPT Global was able to build on last year’s profit through improved margins especially 
from our North America business which recorded strong growth in revenue.  

The  Australian  business  had  a  disappointing  year  and  experienced  a  fall  in  both  revenue  and  profitability  despite  the 
continuing strong growth of our Federal Government work. Unfortunately this growth was more than offset by the weak 
performance of our Southern region which has traditionally been the backbone of CPT’s business and continues to provide 
many of the skilled IT experts required to resource our international business. This region has a long history of servicing 
major banking clients who have been disrupted over the past year by an adverse regulatory and operating environment. 
CPT has had some early success in developing new customer relationships outside this sector but the benefits will take 
time to flow through to our financial results. In 2019 five of our ten largest clients were based in Australia. 

CPT’s international business built on last year’s significant turnaround with further strong growth in North America while 
Europe  returned  another  break-even  outcome.  As  a  result,  the  International  operations  delivered  a  strong  profit 
contribution to CPT that more than offset the weaker Australian result. 

The North American operations had an outstanding year by almost doubling revenue and substantially increasing operating 
profit  over  the  prior  year.  Good  margins  were  maintained  and  the  business  pipeline  remains  strong,  forming  a  sound 
platform for 2020. For the first time CPT’s largest client was in the US and half of our top ten clients in 2019 were based in 
North America. 

In Europe the focus remains on selective marketing campaigns to pursue our most prospective opportunities. As such the 
operations  delivered  another  break-even  result  and  continued  to  provide  resources  to  our  North  American  operations. 
However, a number of large prospects are being cultivated in Europe which could provide CPT with some attractive client 
engagements in the year ahead. 

CPT operates in an exciting and dynamic industry sector and has a strong reputation for delivering outcomes for clients. 
Our  depth  of  experience  positions  us  well  to  deliver  future  growth  and  improved  returns  for  shareholders.  While  our 
immediate focus remains on  strengthening our  core business, growing revenues and  managing our cost base, CPT will 
continue to develop attractive new digitally oriented service offerings for our clients. 

In 2019 our revenue fell by 8% to $28.4m with increases in North America more than offset by the falls in Australia. However, 
CPT was able to deliver an increased net profit after tax of $1.0m compared to $0.8m in 2018. As a result, CPT will pay a 
final fully franked dividend of 0.5 cents per share reflecting our improved performance and outlook for the year ahead. This 
is in addition to our interim dividend of 0.25 cents paid in May 2019. CPT ended the financial year with an improved cash 
position of $1.7m. 

Over the past year CPT has built on our recent improved performance despite adverse conditions in some of our markets. 
Our focus and efforts in 2020 will be to maintain the strong growth in our international business while increasing activity 
in  Australia  and  further  developing  our  business  pipeline.  Consistent  with  past  practice  CPT  will  look  to  pay  a  high 
proportion of our earnings as dividends to shareholders. In conclusion I would like to thank all of CPT’s staff and my fellow 
directors including our Managing Director, Gerry Tuddenham, for their ongoing efforts in building CPT’s client relationships 
and improving our financial performance.

Managing Director’s Review 

Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

The 2019 financial year has left many of us at CPT Global with mixed emotions. We are proud that we have been able to 
continue delivering profit growth, resumed paying interim dividends after paying a final dividend in FY2018 and will pay a 
final  dividend  for  FY2019.  We  celebrate  the  success  in  our  North  American  business  with  a  second  successive  year  of 
revenue growth in excess of 44%. The federal government sector continues to exceed expectations with a second successive 
year of significant revenue growth and we have 12 months of contracted work at our largest Australian client with expanded 
services  and head  count. Our project  margins  in  Australia and Canada improved  on FY2018  against industry  trends for 
maintaining or lower margins. This is tempered by disappointment in the performance of the banking & finance sector in 
Australia which saw significant declines in revenue.  

We have taken action to turn the Australian region around and we are optimistic that FY2020 will be a year of profitable 
growth.  

Operating and Financial Review 

CPT made a profit before tax of $1.7 million for the financial year, a 39% improvement on FY2019. The after-tax profit of 
$1.0 million was a 27% improvement on FY2018 period.  

Revenue was 8% lower than FY2018 as the banking & finance sector in Australia declined by 57% on FY2018. Despite the 
lower revenue, the FY2019 profit exceeded FY2018 as the business has benefited from focussing on our core strengths, 
investing  in  our  sales  capacity  in  North  America,  driving  efficiency  in  our  operations  and  back  office  and  strong  cost 
controls. The benefits will continue to deliver results in the coming financial years.  

The investment in sales resources in North America contributed to revenue in the region growing 46% compared to FY2018. 
In FY2020 we are continuing to invest in North America and will expand our sales capacity in Australia.  

Margins across the Group were higher than FY2018 as higher margin regions, North America and Federal, contributed a 
greater proportion of margin to the Group as they grew, and the business focussed on the efficient delivery of services to 
clients without compromising quality.  

The revenue growth in North America and federal has come from our core services. The focus on what CPT does best and 
the lessons we have learnt in these regions are being applied across the Group.  

We  have  invested  in  building  our  Australian  sales  capability  and  refocussing  on  our  core  services.  This  will  continue  in 
FY2020 and we started to see the benefit in the 4th quarter of FY2019.

Managing Director’s Review 

In May 2019 a settlement was reached with a former contractor relating to a claim of unpaid invoices and a counter claim 
by CPT Global of overcharging. It was agreed that no payments would be made between the parties and each party would 
be responsible for their own legal fees. A liability to the former contractor of $0.1 million relating to the unpaid invoices 
was written off and is included in the results for FY2019. 

North America 

After having its best year since FY2014 in FY2018, North America grew revenue 46% on FY2018 and segment gross profit 
before tax grew 33%.  

The banking & finance sector is the fastest growing and largest sector contributing 67% (FY2018: 47%) of revenue. This 
growth has been delivered through our traditional mainframe business as well as expanding our services into real time 
payments and testing and growing within clients with multi-project time and materials contracts. 

Five of our top 10 clients are based in North America (2018: 4) and delivered 87% (2018: 86%) of the revenue in the region.  

Margins  on  time  &  materials  contracts  in  North  America  were  maintained  or,  where  expert  services  were  in  demand, 
increased. This offset the drop in the risk/reward margins as 1 project progresses through the latter phases of a risk/reward 
engagement and a 2nd project passes through the client review, implementation and measurement of our recommended 
changes. 

The turnaround in North America over the last 2 years has exceeded our expectations. We are optimistic that the region 
will continue to grow in FY2020 with a strong finish to FY2019 and a solid pipeline of work.  

Our major challenges in North America will be renewing 3 client contracts that finish on 31 December 2019 and managing 
the  fluctuating  demands  for  payments  experts  in  Canada  as  the  industry  deals  with  the  challenges  of  building  a  new 
payments platform. 

Table 2 shows the extent of the growth in the banking & finance sector over the last 2 years. Demand for our core cost 
reduction and optimisation mainframe services and real-time payments expertise has driven this growth.

Managing Director’s Review 

Australia 

The government, insurance and superannuation sectors grew during FY2019 and will continue to be strong performers for 
the business in FY2020.  

Revenue  from  Federal  Government  clients  grew  22%  in  2019  (2018:  27%)  as  our  projects and  resources  on  our  largest 
government contract were extended to 30 June 2019. A 12 month extension to this contract, our largest client in Australia 
and second biggest globally, takes our contracted work through to June 2020 with a further increase in the scope of services 
and number of consultants engaged. 

Revenue in the banking & finance sector declined 57% in FY2019 after 5 years of consistent growth. The decline in revenue 
was driven by several factors, with the most important being freezes on head count at a tier 1 bank as they transform their 
internal IT operations and the rationalisation of an IT supplier panel at another tier 1 bank. We expected to see growth 
return to the sector in the 4th quarter of FY2019 but this is now more likely to occur in the 2nd quarter of FY2020. However, 
we were successful in winning work at a third tier 1 bank and a large tier 2 bank in June 2019 and are working to convert 
these engagements into recurring revenue streams.  

The IT&C sector continued to decline as a national telecommunications client reduced its requirements. 

While Australian revenue declined 29%, we were able to partially offset the impact with cost controls.  

The performance of the Australian business is disappointing as it coincides with a growing North American business and a 
government sector outperforming expectation. We have addressed the performance of the region by investing in additional 
sales resources and restructuring how we manage and operate the region. We expect these changes to deliver growth in 
revenue and profit in FY2020. 

Our major challenges in Australia are securing forecast growth in the banking & finance, superannuation and education 
sectors, converting opportunities with partners to revenue and delivering major contracted projects.

Europe 

Our strategy in Europe has been to focus on a small number of key accounts and be agile in responding to opportunities.  

Execution of the strategy has been successful as Europe has been able to breakeven over the past 2 years even as revenue 
has declined.   

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 deliver in North America during a period of high growth.  

Table 4 shows the reliance Europe has on banking and insurance and the challenges experienced in FY17, FY18 and FY19.

Financial Results 

Financial Performance 

CPT Global’s revenue for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $28.4 million, an 8% decrease on FY2018’s revenue of $31.0 
million. CPT Global’s net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $1.0 million, an improvement of $0.2 million 
on the 30 June 2018 result. The net profit after tax includes tax expense of $0.7 million, an effective tax rate of 43%. This is 
higher than the marginal tax rate due to tax losses in Europe that we have not recognised on the balance sheet as deferred 
tax assets, interest expense that is not deductible in Canada for tax purposes and changes to the carrying value of deferred 
tax assets and liabilities in the USA and Australia due to the lower tax rates applicable in FY2019.   

The improvement in performance is a result of: 

 

profitable growth in North America and the federal government sector in Australia; 

  margins  across  various  sectors  improved  on  prior  years  as  demand  for  expert  skills  pushed  rates  up.  Lower 

margin, high volume contracts contributed less revenue in total and proportionally in FY2019;  

 

 

a focus on efficiency across all operations and client delivery; and 

cost control across the Group. 

Basic earnings per share amounted to 2.62 cents per share (diluted earnings 2.60 cents per share).

Managing Director’s Review 

Financial Position 

CPT Global’s balance sheet reflected net tangible assets of $2.1 million as at 30 June 2019 (2018: $1.1 million). Net assets 

are $6.4 million (2018: $5.4 million) 

 

  Unbilled revenue (WIP) has decreased by $0.7 million. The decrease in 2019 is due to the WIP on a risk/reward 
contract in progress in North America being invoiced up to the 2019 calendar year contract value by June 2019. 
At 30 June 2018, there was WIP relating to this contract yet to be billed. The balance of the movement is due to 
a movement in the milestone contracts in Australia outstanding at year end.   
Trade  and  other  receivables  decreased  $0.8  million  as  milestone  contracts  were  billed  at  month  end  and 
risk/reward revenue was invoiced from WIP. At 30 June 2019, 4.5% of debtors are in 60 days or greater, all of 
which have been collected subsequent to year end;  
Trade  and  other  payables  decreased  by  $2.0  million  as  consultant  numbers  in  Australia  decreased  with  the 
reduction in revenue and we continued to pay down historic Canadian tax liabilities from free cash flow; and 
Borrowings at year end relate to the debtor funding facility provided by Scottish Pacific in Australia. The Efic 
loan facility outstanding in FY2018 of $0.5 million was repaid during FY2019. 

 

 

Dividend 

On 27 August 2019, a fully franked interim dividend of 0.50 cents per share was declared by the directors. The total value 
of the dividend is $189,123 and will be paid on 18 November 2019. 

The financial effect of the dividend will be recognised in the 2020 financial year as it was declared after 30 June 2019.    

Cash Flow 

CPT had $1.7 million in cash at 30 June 2019 ($1.4 million 30 June 2018) and a net cash inflow of under $0.1 million for the 
financial year. We also had access to $0.8 million in additional funding in our debtor facility. 

Our strong cash management processes, Australian debtor funding facility, early payment programs with clients in North 
America and the increase in revenue in North America all contributed to CPT being able to manage the cash flow challenges 
in 2019.  

The cash at 30 June 2019 did not increase in line with profit due to the payment of our tax obligations in Canada under a 
payment plan agreed with the Canadian Revenue Authority.  

Capital Management  

A fully franked final dividend of 0.5 cents per share will be paid for FY2019. This is on top of the 2019 interim dividend of 
0.25 cents per share paid on 20 May 2019. 

Our debtor funding facility has a limit of $5.0 million of which there was $0.4 million outstanding at 30 June 2019 and $0.8 
million was available to draw on. During the financial year, our facility with Efic was repaid in full out of the profits of the 
risk/reward engagements it was established to finance. 

During  2020  our focus will be on continuing to grow 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.

Strategy 

CPT is delivering on our core vision of sustainable, profitable growth and we are focussing on our 6 strategic pillars: 

 

Capitalise on existing growth opportunities: North America and Canberra are our high growth regions and the 
opportunities and growth have continued into FY2020. Enhancing the sales capacity in Australia and leveraging 
our expertise in payments modernisation to take advantage of the global move towards near time payments are 
also areas of growth. We are structuring the business and investing to take advantage of these opportunities. 

  Build  on  new  opportunities  in  Sydney:  recent  changes  in  the  Banking  &  Finance  sector  provide  us  with  a 
significant opportunity to win new clients headquartered in Sydney. We won a major new client in the Banking & 
Finance sector in FY2019 which we expect to develop into a top 10 client. 

  Global practice capability: as North America grows, we are developing our practice model to better support the 
business, our consultants and our clients in all our regions and across many time zones. We continually review 
and adapt our services to meet client demands. 

 

 

Engagement & communication with our workforce: CPT is a people business and our people are our greatest 
strength.  

Enhance  the  CPT  brand  in  the  marketplace:  we  will  significantly  expand  our  presence  across  social  media 
channels to target our key audience and grow our brand awareness. 

  Drive business efficiency: we are looking business wide at how we operate to improve efficiencies and reduce 

costs.    

The Outlook 

We expect to see revenue and profit growth in Australia and North America in the 2020 financial year as demand for our 
core services grows, particularly real time payments, testing and mainframe.   

Demand in real time payments in the short to medium term is being driven by the need for expertise in Canada which has 
started down the path of developing a new payments platform. CPT has the experience and expertise that is in demand in 
Canada  from  our  involvement  in  the  roll  out  of  the  New  Payments  Platform  (NPP)  in  Australia.  We  have  5  consultants 
working in 2 Canadian banks on their real time payments solutions and we expect to grow our presence as the industry 
progresses the development of the new platform. The USA and European Union are also planning to develop new real time 
payment platforms and we will leverage our expertise, experience and extensive client relationships in the banking sector 
to expand our payments services in the medium term. NPP is a focus for us 

Services focussed on the mainframe continue to be the main source of revenue in the Northern Hemisphere. We expect to 
continue to grow these services, however, the pace of growth will return to rates in line with industry forecasts. Mainframe 
services in Australia has been a small component of revenue over the last 5 years but we are starting to see businesses 
allocate budget to optimising the mainframe environment as digital technology contribute to the growth in transactions 
that touch the mainframe. We started 2 projects in June 2019 at 2 Australian banks focussed on optimising the mainframe 
environment. We have 2 active risk/reward engagements in the USA that are contracted to 31 December 2019 and we are 
in discussion with both clients to extend  the contracts for  a further 12 months. Over the past  2  years we have seen an 
increase in mainframe services being delivered as time and materials engagements rather than risk/reward. The growth in 
revenue in North America in the 2019 financial year was largely from these engagements. This is providing more consistent 
revenue, margin and cashflow in the North American business. We expect this trend to continue which will provide a strong 
base of recurring, profitable revenue in  North  America upon which risk/reward contracts  can deliver profit  in excess  of 
expectations. 

Robotic  Process  Automation  (RPA)  is  an  area  of  increasing  demand  and  our  partnerships  with  2  of  the  worlds  largest 
providers of RPA tools generated revenue and margin in FY2019 from sales of software and services. RPA has been rolled 
out  and  adopted  within  our  own  business  with  the  toolsets  used  within  Finance,  HR  and  Sales  to  automate  manual 
processes and boost efficiency. RPA will continue to be a growth area in FY2020.

Managing Director’s Review 

The Australian business will continue to expand in the government sector on the back of a new 12 month contract at our 
largest Australian client. Our expectation is that the banking & finance sector will start to grow again in the 2nd quarter 
although this is contingent on market conditions and other factors outside our control. We are optimistic that the Australian 
business will return to growth in FY2020 as a result of the actions we took in FY2019. Maintaining the margins on our core 
services is a focus of the Group. 

Subject to economic and market conditions, North America will grow profitably as Canada continues down the path of 
introducing a real time payments platform and demand for our core services continues. We expect margins on time and 
materials work to start to return to long-term averages as the payments platform projects progress and more general and 
commoditised skillsets are required.   

We are providing strategic consulting services to two banks in Canada and have generated just under $0.5m in fees from 
real  time  payments  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. Early signs indicate that the demand for 
our mainframe expertise is increasing in the European Union and the pipeline of opportunities is the strongest it has been 
for at least 3 years. However, we will remain opportunistic in our approach 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 2019 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.

On 30 May 2019, 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 
2019 meeting. 

CPT Global undertakes an annual performance evaluation of its senior executives. This  encompasses a review  of each 
senior  executives’  achievement  of  their  performance  objectives  and  the  establishment  of  future  objectives.  The 
determination of appropriate remuneration for each executive follows the performance evaluation. 

The  Remuneration  Report  includes  more  details  on  CPT  Global’s  remuneration  practices.  An  annual  performance 
evaluation of the senior executive team was conducted following the completion of the financial year.

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: 

  Nigel Sandiford (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 

17 years 

Nigel Sandiford 

1 year 

Gerry Tuddenham 

21 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.  
The policy restricts directors and employees from acting on material information until it has been released to the market 
and adequate time has been given for this to be reflected in the securities price. 

Information relating to the Code of Conduct and Trading Policy can be found at www.cptglobal.com/investor-centre.

Corporate Governance Statement 

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) 

  Nigel Sandiford 

  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 page 19 of the Directors’ Report. For details of attendance 
at meetings of the Finance and Audit Committee, refer to page 29 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.

financial year. 

CORPORATE INFORMATION   

Nature of operations and principal activities  

The principal activities of the economic entity during the financial year were the provision of specialist IT consultancy 
services. 

There have been no significant changes in the nature of those activities during the year. 

Employees 

The consolidated entity employed 124 employees and contractors as at 30 June 2019 (2018: 150 employees and 
contractors).  

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW   

CPT made a profit before tax of $1.7 million for the financial year, a 39% improvement on FY2019. The after-tax 
profit of $1.0 million was a 27% improvement on the FY2018 period.  

Revenue was 8% lower than FY2018 as the banking & finance sector in Australia declined by 57% on FY2018. Despite 
the lower revenue, the FY2019 profit exceeded FY2018 as the business has benefited from focussing on our core 
strengths, investing in our sales capacity in North America, driving efficiency in our operations and back office and 
strong cost controls. The benefits will continue to deliver results in the coming financial years.  

The investment in sales resources in North America contributed to revenue in the region growing 46% compared 
to FY2018. In FY2020 we are continuing to invest in North America and will expand our sales capacity in Australia.

Directors’ Report 

Financial Performance 

CPT Global’s revenue for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $28.4 million, an 8% decrease on FY2018’s revenue of 
$31.0 million. CPT Global’s net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2019 was $1.0 million, an improvement of 
$0.2 million on the 30 June 2018 result. The net profit after tax includes tax expense of $0.7 million, an effective tax 
rate of 43%. This is higher than the marginal tax rate due to tax losses in Europe that we have not recognised on 
the balance sheet as deferred  tax  assets, interest expense that is  not  deductible in Canada for tax purposes and 
changes to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities in the USA and Australia due to the lower tax rates 
applicable in FY2019.   

The improvement in performance is a result of: 

 

profitable growth in North America and the federal government sector in Australia; 

  margins across various sectors improved on prior years as demand for expert skills pushed rates up. Lower 

margin, high volume contracts contributed less revenue in total and proportionally in FY2019;  

 

 

a focus on efficiency across all operations and client delivery; and 

cost control across the Group. 

Basic earnings per share amounted to 2.62 cents per share (diluted earnings 2.60 cents per share). 

Financial Position 

CPT Global’s balance sheet reflected net tangible assets of $2.1 million as at 30 June 2019 (2018: $1.1 million). Net 

assets are $6.4 million (2018: $5.4 million):

  Unbilled  revenue  (WIP)  has  decreased  by  $0.7  million.  The  decrease  in  2019  is  due  to  the  WIP  on  a 
risk/reward contract in progress in North America being invoiced up to the 2019 calendar year contract 
value by June 2019; 
Trade and other receivables decreased $0.8 million as milestone contracts were billed at month end and 
risk/reward revenue was invoiced from WIP;  
Trade and other payables decreased by $2.0 million as consultant numbers in Australia decreased with 
the reduction in revenue and we continued to pay down historic Canadian tax liabilities from free cash 
flow; and 
Borrowings at year end relate to the debtor funding facility provided by Scottish Pacific in Australia. The 
Efic loan facility outstanding in FY2018 of $0.5 million was repaid during FY2019. 

 

 

Cash Flow 

CPT had $1.7 million in cash at 30 June 2019 ($1.4 million 30 June 2018) and a net cash inflow of under $0.1 million 
for the financial year. We also had access to $0.8 million in additional funding in our debtor facility. 

The cash at 30 June 2019 did not increase in line with profit due to the payment of our tax obligations in Canada 
under a payment plan agreed with the Canadian Revenue Authority.  

Capital Management  

A  fully  franked  final  dividend  of  0.5  cents  per  share  will  be  paid  for  FY2019.  This  is  on  top  of  the  2019  interim 
dividend of 0.25 cents per share paid on 20 May 2019. 

Our debtor funding facility has a limit of $5.0 million of which there was $0.4 million outstanding at 30 June 2019 
and $0.8 million was available to draw on. During the financial year, our facility with Efic was repaid in full out of the 
profits of the risk/reward engagements it was established to finance.

directly or indirectly, including any Director of the parent company.

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

Directors’ Report 

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 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.  

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. During the five financial years to 
FY2019, there were no increases in annual salary during annual reviews for executives other than for a promotion 
to a higher role with greater responsibility. Executive remuneration was not increased as the results of CPT did not 
meet the expectations of the Board and shareholders had experienced negative returns. During this period, no 
performance rights vested as key performance indicators and performance hurdles were not 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  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. Since CPT returned to profit in 2018, one executive was promoted and received an increase 
in remuneration commensurate with the role and responsibilities. The board believes the remuneration policy is 
effective and can be linked to current years result.

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.

No  person  has  applied  for  leave  of  Court  to  bring  proceedings  on  behalf  of  the  company  or  intervene  in  any

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
Year Ended 30 June 2019 

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 30 September 2019 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. 

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 2019 

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) Contract Assets 

Contract assets are revenue that has not been invoiced at period end and is measured and recognised in accordance 
with the policies set out in note 1(p).

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 lease 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 2019 

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Classification of financial assets 
Financial assets recognised by the Group are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value subject 
to  their  classification.  Financial  assets,  other  than  those  designated  and  effective  as  hedging  instruments,  are 
classified into the following categories:   
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 

measured at amortised cost 
fair value through profit or loss; and 
fair value through other comprehensive income. 

The classification of financial assets is based on both the business model for managing the financial asset and the 
contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. 

CPT does not have any financial assets categorised as fair value through other comprehensive income. 

Classification of financial liabilities 

Financial  liabilities  classified  as  held-for-trading,  contingent  consideration  payable  by  the  the  group  for  the 
acquisition  of  a  business  and  financial  liabilities  designated  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are  subsequently 
measured at fair value. 

All other financial liabilities recognised by the Group are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Impairment of Financial Assets 

At the end of each reporting period, the Group tests financial assets for impairment by applying the expected credit 
loss impairment model.  

The  Group  has  adopted  the  simplified  approach  under  AASB  9  to  measure  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  for 
receivables from contracts with customers and contract assets. The allowance for credit losses is determined based 
on  the  lifetime  expected  credit  losses  of  the  financial  asset.  Lifetime  expected  credit  losses  represent  the  credit 
losses that are expected to result from default events over the life of the financial asset. The Group has no other 
financial assets subject to impairment testing under AASB 9.  

In applying the simplified approach under AASB 9, the Group uses a provision matrix based on historical experience 
at the client and segment level, adjusted for factors that are specific to the financial asset, as well as current and 
future expected economic conditions relevant to the financial asset. The time value of money is incorporated into 
the measurement of expected credit losses if it is material. There has been no change in the estimation techniques 
or significant assumptions made during the reporting period. 

Contractual payments more than 180 days past due are considered default events for the purpose of measuring 
expected credit losses based on the historical experience of the Group.  

The  measurement  of  expected  credit  losses  reflects  the  Group’s  expected  rate  of  loss  and  is  measured  as  the 
difference between all contractual cash flows  due and all contractual cash flows expected  based on the Group’s 
exposure at default, discounted at the financial asset’s effective interest rate, where appropriate. 

Financial  assets  are  considered  credit  impaired  when  one  or  more  events  has  occurred  that  provides  objective 
evidence  that  there  has  been  a  detrimental  impact  on  the  estimated  future  cash  flows  of  the  financial  asset. 
Indicators that a financial asset is credit impaired include observable data that: the debtor has significant financial 
difficulties; the debtor is likely to enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation; breaches of contract have occurred; 
and the debtor has  defaulted  or there  is delinquency in payments. Financial assets which  are not collectible are 
written off by reducing the carrying amount directly when CPT has no realistic expectation of recovery of the financial 
asset. Financial assets written off remain subject to enforcement action by CPT. Any financial assets that have been 
written off but subsequently recovered in whole or in part are recognised in profit or 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 15: Revenue. Where the entity 
gives guarantees in exchange for a fee, revenue is recognised under AASB 15. 

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. 

Initial Adoption of AASB 9 Financial Instruments 

The adoption of AASB 9 has not had a material impact on the  financial position or financial performance of  the 
Group as: 

 

 

there is no change in the recognition, classification and measurement of financial instruments held by the 
Group as a result of adopting the new standard; and 

the  credit  quality  of  CPT’s  clients  and  the  history  of  collecting  debtors  resulted  in  the  impairment 
assessment under the expected credit loss model consistent with the model applied in prior periods.  

(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 impairment allowance. Trade receivables are generally 
due for settlement within 30 days. 

(h) Impairment of non-financial 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. 

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.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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 directors and employees via the CPT Employee Equity 
Plan. Information relating to this scheme is set out in note 22. 

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

The fair value at grant date is independently determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into 
account the exercise price, the term of the right, 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 
right.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

The fair value of the rights 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 rights that are expected to become exercisable. At the end of 
each  reporting  period,  the  entity  revises  its  estimate  of  the  number  of  rights  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 

The Group recognises 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.  

The  Group  enters  contracts  with  clients  to  provide  IT  consulting  services  on  a  time  and  materials,  fixed  price, 
milestone  based  and  risk/reward  basis,  or  variations  thereof.  The  performance  obligations  in  each  contract  are 
identified and the total transaction price for each contract is allocated against the various performance obligations 
based on their stand-alone selling prices. The transaction price excludes any amounts collected on behalf of third 
parties. 

The Group determines the stand-alone selling price by direct reference to contracts and pricing schedules for the 
services being delivered. 

Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring 
the goods or services to the client. Revenue is recognised over time if: 

 

 

 

the client simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the Group performs; 

the client controls the asset as the Group creates or enhances it; or 

the Group’s performance does not create an asset for which the client has an alternative use and there is a 
right to payment for performance to date. 

If the criteria above are not met, revenue is recognised at a point in time.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

When revenue is recognised over time the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligations 
as the services are delivered is measured using the stage of completion method, except for risk/reward contracts as 
discussed below. 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. Clients are invoiced monthly in arrears unless the contract 
specifies otherwise. Payment terms are generally 30 days. Any amounts that remain unbilled at the end of a reporting 
period are presented in the statement of financial position as unbilled revenue. Only the passage of time is required 
before these amounts are invoiced and collected.  

Risk/reward revenue is recognised by measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance 
obligations. The method of measuring progress is determined using an output method as the Group 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 a risk/reward project. The weighting at each 
stage is based on the Group’s experience completing risk/reward projects. Clients are invoiced in accordance with 
the contract terms which generally stipulate that invoices can be submitted when the savings have been measured 
and confirmed by the client and the Group. Payment terms are generally 30 days. Any amounts that remain unbilled 
at the end of a reporting period are presented in the statement of financial position as unbilled revenue.  

Clients may be invoiced in advance for the provision of services and this is recognised as a liability until the Group 
provides, and the client consumes, the benefits of the service. 

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

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

On adopting AASB 15 Revenue, there was no material impact on revenue. 

(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.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(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.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Key judgements 
(i) 

Impairment losses of receivables 

An impairment loss is recognised based on an expected credit loss model. The Group assesses the expected credit 
loss based on individual debto level expectations relative to credit terms.  

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

The  new  lease  standard  requires  the  recognition  of  a  ‘right  of  use’  asset  and  a  related  lease  liability,  being  the 
present value of future lease payments. Adoption of this standard will result in an increase in the recognised assets 
and liabilities in the statement of financial position as well as a change in expense recognition, with interest and 
depreciation replacing operating lease expense. 

On initial adoption of AASB 16, CPT have elected to use the ‘cumulative catch-up’ approach. Under this approach 
the lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of future lease payments and the group has elected to 
value the right of use asset at an amount equal in value to the lease liability. 

CPT Global has assessed the standard’s likely impact on first-time adoption as follows: 

 

The estimated increase in lease assets and lease liabilities in the statement of financial position is $1,039k 

  Operating cash outflows will be lower and financing cash flows will be higher in the statement of cash flows 
as  principal  repayments  on  all  lease  liabilities  will  be  included  in  financial  activities  rather  than  operating 
activities. 

At the date of this report, CPT Global has not early adopted this standard.

(a)  Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally on 30 day terms. The average credit period on 
rendering of services is 49 days (2018: 64 days).  An impairment of $71k (2018: $67k) has been recognised 
in trade receivables as detailed below. The movement in the provision is due to the strengthening of the 
US dollar against the Australian dollar. 

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, $272k (2018: $421k) was due from a leading 
banking institution in Australia with S&P credit ratings of AA- and $1,179k (2018: $1,112k) is due from an Australian 
federal government agency. $756k (2018: $1,108k) was due from a global financial organisation headquartered in 
New York with an S&P credit rating of A-1 and $203k (2018: $142k) from a Canadian financial institution with an 
S&P credit rating of A+. 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  $2.2m  (57%)  relates  to 
Australia (2018: $2.7m (57%)).  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 (2018: $78k) which is past due 
at the end of the reporting period. A provision for impairment of $67k, including the movement in foreign exchange, 
was recorded in the 2018 financial year 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. The provision has been maintained in the 2019 financial year with the change being the 
impact of movements in foreign exchange rates. 

Trade receivables that are past due but not impaired 

Included in the trade receivable balance are debtors with a carrying amount of $171k (2018: $247k) 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. The entire balance relates to a 
client with an S&P credit rating of A- 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 professional services company listed on NASDAQ, gives 
further confidence that these past due balances are not impaired. The receivable was collected subsequent to year 
end. 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 $30k (2018: $nil) relating to  revenue that  was recognised more than  12 
months prior to the end of the reporting period.  

The WIP balance has decreased by $0.7m due to WIP on a risk/reward contract in progress in North America being 
invoiced up to the 2019 calendar year contract value by 30 June 2019.  

The directors expect all unbilled revenue to be billed in full during the 2020 financial year.  

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  2018  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 in the comparatives 

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 3.5% (2018: 4.0%).   

The carrying value and recoverable amount of the Australian CGU are $9.7m and $16.5m respectively. 

Key Assumptions 

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

Discount rate 

Gross Margin 

2019 

2018 

2019 

2018 

Australian Segment 

19.4%

2019 

8.9% 

2018 

7.7% 

2019 

3.5% 

2018 

4.0% 

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; 
-  Revenue growth rates; 
-  Terminal growth rates; and 
-  Corporate costs. 

Discount rate – the discount rate is a pre-tax rate and reflects the risks associated with the CGU. 
Gross profit margins – values assigned reflect past experience, margins on existing contracts and analysis of the 
market conditions. 
Revenue  growth  rates  –  reflects  management’s  expectations  of  revenue  growth  in  the  context  of  the  Group’s 
Australian  market  strategy.  Compound  annual  sales  growth  represents  the  annual  growth  rate  over  the  5  year 
forecast period. Revenue growth from FY19 to FY20 is budgeted at 38%. 
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, 
industry forecasts, 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. 

If revenue of the Australian CGU in FY20 is below budget by $3.1m (16%), the carrying value of the CGU will equal 

its recoverable amount if all other assumptions are unchanged.

Due to the short-term nature of these payables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate to their fair value. 
There are no financial guarantees in place other than the bank guarantee for the head office lease as disclosed in 
Note 23. 

Unearned income is recorded as a current liability and the underlying performance obligations are expected to be 
completed  within  12  months.  The  balance  of  unearned  revenue  at  30  June  2018  was  recognised  as  revenue  in

(a)  The  parent  entity  has  a  debtors  financing  facility  in  place.  The  facility  is  secured  by  a  first  registered 
company  charge  (mortgage  debenture)  over  the  carrying  value  of  the  total  assets  of  the  parent  entity, 
which totalled $5.4m at the end of the reporting period.  Interest is charged at a 5.5% margin above the 
90 day Bank Bill Swap Rate. The maximum facility is $5m with the available facility based on the value of 
the Australian debtor book. At 30 June 2019, the available funding under the facility was $0.8m. 

(b)  The parent entity entered into a $1.2m export contract loan agreement on 23 February 2018 with Efic. The 
loan was available to be drawn until 31 October 2018 and $765k was repaid by 31 January 2019. Interest 
was charged at BBSY plus a margin of 6% and a commitment fee of 1% is payable on the undrawn facility.

The future income tax benefit of the deferred tax assets will only be realised if the conditions of deductibility set out 
in Note 1(b) occur. Deferred tax assets not brought to account for which  the benefits will only be realised if the 
conditions for deductibility set out in Note 1(b) occur amount to $1,093,933 (2018: $1,054,806). CPT Global’s tax 
losses that have not been brought to account are generally not subject to restrictions. Of the losses not brought to 
account in FY2019 97% relate to the UK.

(i)  Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the parent entity in proportion to 
the number of shares held.  At shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll 
is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.  During the year ended 30th June 2019 
no ordinary shares were bought back under the on market buyback (2018: Nil).  Ordinary shares have no par 
value. 

(ii)  The on market buyback commenced on the 27th August 2002 with 3,000,000 shares being the maximum to 

be bought back of which 2,413,905 were outstanding as at 30 June 2019. 

(c) Options 

(i) 

For information relating to the CPT Global Limited employee option plan, including details of options issued, 
exercised  and  lapsed  during  the  financial  year  and  the  options  outstanding  at  year-end,  refer  to  Note  22 
Share based payments. 

(ii)  For information relating to share options issued to key management personnel during the financial year, refer 

to the Note 22 Share Based Payments. 

(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%.

cancelled. 

(b) On 28 November 2018, at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, 450,000 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 $28k.  The fair value has been calculated using a Black Scholes pricing methodology 
using the following inputs: 

Weighted average exercise price 

Maximum life of right 

Underlying share price 

$0.00       

4 years 

$0.145 

As the exercise price is $0.00, share price volatility, risk free interest rate and dividend yield do not have a material 
impact on the fair value of the performance rights.  

The exercise of these performance rights is 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

Types of Services by Segment 

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

-  Digital Consulting 

- 

- 

Capacity Planning 

Cost Reduction Sustainable 

-  Mainframe & Midrange performance 

-

-  Management, Functional & Automation Testing 

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 from 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 (2018: increase by $4k and decrease by $4k). 

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. 

Information  of  the  Group’s  credit  risk  exposure  to  any  single  debtor  or  group  of  debtors  under  financial 
instruments entered into by the Group are included in note 8. 

The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to trade receivables by undertaking transactions with 
a large number of clients. 

i. 

ii. 

Cash deposits 
Credit risk for cash deposits is managed by holding all cash deposits with major Australian and global 
banks. 

Trade receivables 
Credit risk for trade receivables is managed by setting credit limits and completing credit checks for 
new customers. Outstanding  receivables  are regularly monitored for payment in accordance with 
credit terms. 
The ageing analysis of trade and other receivables is provided in note 8. As the Group undertakes 
transactions with a large number of customers and regularly monitors payments in accordance with 
credit terms, the financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired, are expected to be received 
in accordance with the credit terms. The Group assess the expected credit loss based on individual 
debtor level expectations relative to credit terms. 
The Group does not have any material credit risk exposure for other receivables or other financial 
instruments.

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 Ltd (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of 
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 2019 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.  

Assessment of the Carrying Value of Goodwill 

Area of Focus 

How the audit addressed the areas of focus 

Refer to Note 1(i) Accounting Policy; Note 13 
Intangible Assets 

At 30 June 2019, the Group’s Statement of 
Financial Position includes goodwill amounting to 
$4.157m. This goodwill resulted from a business 
combination in a prior period. 

The recoverable amount of the CGU to which 
goodwill is allocated has been calculated based on 
the value-in-use model.  The recoverable amount 
use discounted cash flow forecasts in which 

Our procedures included: 

•  Assessing the appropriateness of the directors' 
assessment of the CGU to which goodwill Is 
attributable; 

•  Evaluating the groups' budgeting procedures upon 

which the forecasts are based and testing the principles 
and integrity of the discounted future cash flow models; 

•  Testing the accuracy of the calculation derived from the 

forecast model and assessing key inputs to the

calculation such as revenue growth, discount rates, and 
working capital assumptions. This is carried out in 
reference to the board approved forecasts, data 
external to the group and using our own assessments; 

Overall, due to the high level of judgement involved, 
and the significant carrying amount, we have 
determined that the recoverable amount is a key 
judgement area that our audit concentrated on. 

•  Engaging our own valuation specialists when 

considering the appropriateness of discount rates, 
terminal values and long-term growth rates; and 

•  Reviewing the historical accuracy of original forecasts 

made by comparing them with actual results. 

We also reviewed the adequacy of the Group’s 
disclosures in relation to Goodwill. 

Revenue Recognition 

Area of Focus 

How the audit addressed the area of focus 

Refer to Note 1(p) Accounting Policy; Note 3 
Revenue, Note 9 Contract Asset 

The Group earned revenue of $28.395m during the 
period and recognised contract assets of $1.583m 
at reporting date. Revenue is earned from variable 
(risk/reward) and fixed price contracts and is 
recognised in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue 
from contracts with customers. 

Our procedures included: 

•  Reviewing managements assessments of contractual 

terms for: 

  Separate performance obligations; 

  Transaction prices and allocation of prices; and 

  Performance obligations 

Recognition of revenue is a key audit matter due to 
the: 

•  Documenting and assessing the internal control 
environment and performing tests of controls; 

•  Significance of revenue and contract assets to the 

•  Testing a sample of revenue to supporting 

financial statements; 

•  For certain contracts, revenue is recognised 

based on estimates of savings identified by the 
Group. The results of these judgements require 
significant audit effort to gather sufficient 
appropriate audit evidence for revenue 
recognition; and 

•  Transitional and new disclosure requirements of

Customers.  

documentation and assessing whether revenue has 
been accurately recorded in accordance with 
contractual terms; 

•  Performing trend analysis and other analytic techniques 
on revenue to validate amounts recorded during the 
year; 

•  Ensuring estimated savings detailed in project status 

reports and recognised as revenue have been 
acknowledged and approved by the Group’s customers; 

•  Ensuring contract assets have been invoiced 

subsequent to year end; and 

•  Reviewing accounting policies for compliance with the 

requirements of AASB 15; and 

We also reviewed the adequacy of revenue related 
disclosures in the financial statements.

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 2019, 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 also: 

 

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.  

  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.  

  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and related disclosures made by the directors.  

  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 

3 

For personal use only 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  

  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.  

  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 

activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the 
direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit 
opinion.  

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. 

Report on the Remuneration Report  

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in pages 22 to 27 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 
June 2019.   

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of CPT Global Ltd and Controlled Entities for the year ended 30 June 
2019 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in 
accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
