Chairman’s Statement 

Dear Fellow CPT Global Shareholder, 

Despite the recent global challenges of COVID-19 CPT finished the year in a strong financial position with the fourth quarter 
being our most profitable for the 2020 financial year. CPT acted quickly to protect the health and safety of our staff and to 
position  the  business  for  uncertain  times  by  cutting  costs  including  voluntary  cuts  to  remuneration  by  senior  staff  and 
Directors.  However  given that remote operation  has always been  a  core part of CPT’s business model we  were able  to 
transition seamlessly during the various lockdowns and have maintained and in many cases grown our presence at clients 
during this difficult time. Due to our pre-emptive action and ongoing client focus CPT ended the year with almost 20% 
more consultants engaged than the prior year end and this trend has continued. While overall revenue in 2020 was lower 
than the prior year this masks a substantial turn-around in the performance of our Australian operations during the year 
and continuing momentum in our North American business. 

The Australian business started the year slowly with a relatively weak pipeline but through the year was able to add two 
substantial new clients and also continued to build the scale of our Federal Government work. The fortunes of our Southern 
region, which has traditionally been the backbone of CPT’s business and provides many of the skilled IT experts for our 
international business, improved significantly. By year end monthly revenue from our Australian business had increased by 
over 50% from the first half of the year and our new business pipeline was substantially stronger and more secure. In 2020 
six of our ten largest clients were based in Australia of which two were new clients. 

CPT’s  international  business  continued  to  perform  well  primarily  due  to  the  continuing  good  performance  of  our  US 
operations particularly in the second half of the financial year. US monthly revenue in the 4th quarter was over 30% higher 
than  in  the  first  half  of  the  financial  year.    Revenue  in  Canada  and  Europe  remained  more  subdued  as  a  result  of  the 
seemingly greater impact of COVID-19 on business in these regions.  

While the business pipeline in the US remains strong the outlook is clouded by the potential impact of COVID-19 on our 
client’s contract renewal decisions with revenue in Canada particularly under pressure. For the second year CPT’s largest 
client was in the US and four of our top ten clients in 2020 were based in North America. 

In Europe and Asia CPT continues to selectively target new business opportunities and again delivered another break-even 
result while continuing to provide resources to our North American operations. Over the years CPT has worked for many 
clients in Europe and Asia and our reputation there is strong so we can expect to be engaged where circumstances demand 
our specialised services. 

In 2020 our revenue fell by 12% to $24.9m. However CPT was still able to deliver net profit after tax of $0.9m (before a 
goodwill impairment of $4.2m) which was in line with $1.0m in 2019. Our performance was assisted by cost reductions 
implemented in response to COVID-19 and savings in travel costs due to the move to full remote operation. As a result of 
our profit and good start to FY 2021 CPT will pay a final fully franked dividend of 1.25 cents per share as against last year’s 
dividends totalling 0.75 cents per share. Our healthy operating cash flow ensured that CPT ended the financial year with an 
improved cash position of $3.1m. 

COVID-19 has accelerated the global use of technology, remote operation and online commerce which places CPT in a 
strong position to assist clients navigate the digital world. Our strong reputation for delivering outcomes for clients, depth 
of experience and long history of remote operation provide CPT with a great platform to grow our business and generate 
improved returns for our shareholders. 

Despite the current challenging global environment CPT starts the new financial year in a substantially improved position. 
Our Australian business has successfully broadened its client base and developed a healthy business pipeline while we have 
maintained activity in our international business. Based on our current positive momentum and consistent with past practice 
CPT  expects  to  pay  a  growing  proportion  of  our  earnings  as  dividends  to  shareholders.  The  challenges  and  changed 
operating environment caused by COVID-19 have been very difficult for all and have imposed significant extra demands 
and restrictions on our staff and their families. Accordingly I would particularly like to thank all of CPT’s staff and my fellow 
directors including our tireless Managing Director, Gerry Tuddenham, for their commitment and dedication to the service 
of CPT’s clients while ensuring that our financial position, performance and outlook remain robust.

Managing Director’s Review 

Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

The 2020 financial year has been very difficult for all our shareholders, employees, clients and suppliers. We have all been 
profoundly impacted on a personal level by the global COVID-19 pandemic and the changes forced upon us in our personal 
and work lives.  

At the onset of the global pandemic our priority was the safety and wellbeing of our employees and preparing the business 
to deal with the financial scenarios we envisioned could arise. We closed all our offices, moved all employees to remote 
working,  repatriated  employees  working  overseas,  provided  the  resources  for  our  employees  to  work  from  home  and 
provided the support structures and programs to help our employees adjust and thrive in their work and home life.  

Aggressive cost cutting and cost controls were put in place, directors and senior management agreed to reductions in their 
salary packages of between 15% and 20% in the 4th quarter and agreed to forgo performance bonuses.  

Our employees have demonstrated the professionalism, flexibility and resilience required to adapt to working from home 
while keeping a global business running efficiently and effectively.  

We  have  not  lost  a  single  contract  with  a  client  or  removed  a  single  consultant  out  of  a  client  because  of  the  global 
pandemic. In fact, CPT grew revenue and profit. The 4th quarter delivered the highest revenue and was the most profitable 
quarter for  the financial year.  During the 4  month  period  from March to  June, the losses generated in the preceding  8 
months were recouped and turned into a $0.9 million full year profit after tax but before impairment.  

This significant turnaround in performance is a credit to all CPT’s employees. That it was achieved during a global pandemic 
is a source of immense pride and I would like to express my gratitude to everyone working at CPT for their hard work, 
dedication, loyalty and support.  

Operating and Financial Review 

CPT made a net profit after tax but before impairment of goodwill of $0.9 million for the financial year compared to a profit 
of $1.0 million  in FY2019  and a profit  of $0.5  million for the first half year in 2020.   The net  loss of $3.3  million for the 
financial year includes the goodwill impairment of $4.2 million that was booked at the half-year.   

The performance of the business during the second half has been particularly impressive and is a $1.2 million turnaround 
on the profit before tax & impairment we announced for the half year. 

The table below shows the operating performance over the last 3 reporting periods reconciled to net profit after tax.

As CPT’s performance improved from March through June and improved in comparison to the same period in FY2019, we 
were not eligible for JobKeeper and did not receive financial assistance from governments in our regions other than $0.1 
million from the ATO cash flow boost automatically credited to small and medium sized companies.

Managing Director’s Review 

The improved performance of the business in the second half was driven by: 

1.  growth in revenue in March through June in Australia and the USA; 
2. 

tighter controls over discretionary costs and temporary cost savings implemented to prepare the business for the 
impacts of the global pandemic; and 

3.  net cost savings from moving to remote working. 

While revenue finished the year 12% lower than FY2019, this was a significant improvement on the half year where revenue 
was 20.8% lower than the comparative period. The decline in revenue in the first half continued through February and then 
returned to growth during March and grew month on month through June. 

Revenue in June was 53% up on February and 4th quarter revenue was 31% up on the 3rd quarter. The improved performance 
was led by the Australian and USA regions: 

  Australian revenue in June was 54% up on February and 4th quarter revenue was 37% up on the 3rd quarter. New 
business was won on  multi-year  projects at  a University and  Victorian statutory authority. Both these projects 
were ramping up in the 4th quarter. We expanded our presence at our largest Australian client throughout the 
second half with 58% of annual revenue earned during this period; and 

  USA  revenue  in  June  was  86%  up  on  February  and  4th  quarter  revenue  was  40%  up  on  the  3rd  quarter.  We 
continued to expand our footprint in our largest client, a global bank, and commenced a risk reward contract at 
a  national  insurance  company.  Phase  1  of  the  risk  reward  was  completed  in  March  and  April  and  phase  2 
commenced in June. 

Our  core  industries  in  Australia  and  the  USA,  banking  &  finance,  insurance  and  government,  were  critical  to  national 
economies and governments’ responses during the global pandemic and will be critical to economic recovery. The services 
we provide in these industries tend to be on business critical systems and projects. This expertise, our status as trusted 
advisors  and  our  experience  and  expertise  providing  services  remotely  were  strengths  that  allowed  us  to  continue  to 
provide seamless service and advice at a critical time for clients. 

The growth in revenue was not as significant as we had expected at the half year but our expectations were formed before 
Covid-19 had spread widely and Governments had started to implement lockdowns. As stated above, we did not lose any 
contracted revenue due to the global pandemic. The lockdowns and other measures implemented by governments globally 
did affect our ability to generate new revenue, particularly from new clients and in areas of clients’ businesses or within 
projects that were not business critical.  

As disclosed at the half year, our Canadian business declined when the contract at our largest client in Canada was not 
renewed and the payments modernisation program was delayed due to industry issues that needed to be resolved. The 
global  pandemic  and  Canada’s  response  to  it  has  compounded  the  issues  in  Canada.  To  minimise  the  impact  on  the 
business we have moved Canadian consultants onto USA clients as they roll off contracts and the Canadian sales team is 
supporting the USA sales and delivery teams.  

Europe was hit early and hard by the global pandemic. This had a significant impact on our sales effort in the 3rd and 4th 
quarter as Italy and France went into hard lockdowns. As a result, revenue didn’t rebound in the second half as we had 
expected.      

Margins and profit  were  helped across the business in the second  half with our  consultants and sales teams unable to 
travel. The additional costs incurred in moving to remote working were less than the savings in travel costs. While travel 
restrictions are still in place, particularly in Australia and North America, we will benefit financially.   

Cost measures we implemented in March saved the business $0.3 million in the 4th quarter. These cost measures included 
the salary reductions for directors and senior management.

Financial Results 

Financial Performance 

CPT’s revenue for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $24.9 million, a 12% decrease on FY2019’s revenue of $28.4 million. 
CPT’s net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $3.3 million and was a result of the factors discussed above.  

Earnings per share after tax but before impairment was 2.30 cents per share. Basic earnings per share amounted to (8.73) 
cents per share (diluted earnings (8.73) cents per share). 

The net loss after tax includes: 

 

 

tax expense of $14k. The tax expense is discussed in more detail below in the Taxation section.   

an impairment charge against goodwill allocated to the Australian cash generating unit (“CGU”) of $4.23 million. 
Goodwill was impaired as the revenue and operating profit of the Australian CGU in the first half of the financial 
year were below budget and were unlikely to meet budget for the full financial year. The Australian business had 
a difficult financial year in 2019 with revenue falling 29% against the 2018 financial year, the banking & finance 
sector declined by 57% after 5 years of consistent growth. Banking & finance had been one of CPT’s largest and 
best  performing  sectors  in  Australia  over  many  years  so  the  decline  in  revenue  had  a  significant  impact  on 
performance.  There  were  several  reasons  for  revenue  declining  in  the  banking  &  finance  sector,  with  internal 
transformations and the banking royal commission being two of the main ones. At the end of the 2019 financial 
year  we  saw  these  negative  influences  on  revenue  in  the  sector  as  temporary  and  expected  revenue  to  grow 
quickly in the 2020 financial year.  While we have seen growth in the banking & finance sector and in Australia 
more  generally,  that  growth  has  fallen  short  of  our  expectations.  A  valuation  of  the  Australian  CGU  at  31 
December 2019 resulted in the carrying value of intangible assets in the Australian CGU being impaired to nil. 

Financial Position 

CPT Global’s balance sheet reflected net tangible assets of $2.7 million as at 30 June 2020 (2019: $2.1 million). Net assets 
are $2.7 million (2019: $6.4 million). The reduction in net assets is a result of the impairment of goodwill at 31 December 
2019. 

 

 

 

 

Contract asset (WIP) has decreased by $0.5 million. At 30 June 2019 we had WIP in Canada and Asia of $0.5m 
across 8 clients. At 30 June 2020 we had one active account in Asia and Canada with minimal WIP.  

Trade and other receivables decreased $0.8 million. The main reason for the decrease is a change in terms with 
our largest client in the USA where we are now paid within 2 weeks of weekly timesheets being approved rather 
than 30 days from receipt of a monthly invoice. At 30 June 2020, we had $18k in debtors over 60 days. 

The current tax asset is tax refunds receivable in the USA due to: (a) tax instalments paid in the 2019 and 2020 
financial years exceeding the tax liabilities incurred; and (b) USA tax losses utilised to claim a refund on tax paid 
in FY2018 under the CARES Act. In the comparative period a current tax liability was recognised.  

Property plant and equipment increased by $0.7 million due to the initial application of AASB 16: Leases and the 
recognition of right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liabilities.  

  Goodwill and intellectual property were impaired by $4.2 million as discussed above and have a carrying value of 

nil.   

 

 

Trade and other payables increased by $0.3 million. Part of the increase is due to the performance of the business 
in  the  4th  quarter  which  saw  an  increase  in  consultants  engaged  by  CPT  with  the  balance  due  to  timing  of 
payments around year end. 

Borrowings at year end relate to the debtor funding facility provided by Scottish Pacific and the lease liability 
recognised on adoption of AASB 16 Leases.

Managing Director’s Review 

Dividend 

On 25 August 2020, a fully franked final dividend of 1.25 cents per share was declared by the directors. The total value of 
the dividend is $478,253 and will be paid on 18 November 2020. 

The financial effect of the dividend will be recognised in the 2021 financial year as it was declared after 30 June 2020. Based 
on the existing participation rate in the dividend reinvestment plan, 49.54% of the dividend will be satisfied by the issue of 
shares.   

Cash Flow 

CPT had $3.1 million in cash at 30 June 2020 ($1.7 million 30 June 2019) and a net cash inflow of $1.5 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 and the increase in revenue in Australia and the 
USA in the second half all contributed to CPT being able to manage the cash flow challenges in 2020.  

Taxation 

Despite making a profit during the financial year, the tax expense is $14k and the current tax is a net receivable of $645k. 

The tax expense is made up of:  

 

 

 a tax benefit of $0.5 million. This benefit arose due to $1.7 million of intercompany interest expense expensed in 
the USA in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 financial years becoming deductible for tax purposes. The tax benefit of $0.5 
million  was  not  previously  recognised  as  there  was  uncertainty  as  to  whether  the  conditions  for  deductibility 
under the USA tax code would be met; and  

tax expense within the Group of $0.5 million from the FY2020 operations. Taxable losses across the Group of $0.3 
million have not been recognised as the conditions for recognition have not been met. 

The current tax receivable is made up of: 

 

a $0.7 million refund due in the USA for taxes paid in FY2019 that are now refundable because of the interest 
deductibility discussed above, tax instalments paid for FY2020 in excess of the final tax payable and tax losses 
that the passing of the CARES Act in 2020 allowed CPT to recoup against tax paid in FY2018. At 30 June 2020 we 
have $0.3 million of tax losses in the USA available to offset future tax payable; and 

 

the balance of tax payable for FY2020 in Australia.   

Capital Management  

A fully franked final dividend of 1.25 cents per share will be paid for FY2020.  

Our debtor funding facility has a limit of $5.0 million of which there was $0.6 million outstanding at 30 June 2020 and $0.8 
million was available to draw on.  

In June 2020 we bought back 28,799 shares at a cost of $3,123.90 under our on-market buy-back. It is our intention to 
continue to provide liquidity in the market by buying shares on-market when circumstances are deemed appropriate.  

During 2021 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. CPT has in excess of $2 million of 
franking credits available to pay franked dividends.  

The Outlook and Strategy 

The uncertainty driven by the global pandemic has reduced our visibility of future revenue, particularly in the second half 
of FY2021. The risks and uncertainty are significant so our outlook is limited to providing general information on what we 
are seeing in the market now and what our strategy is in the short-term. Our clients will be reacting to the situation and 
condition in their respective countries and/or states, which can materially change in a short period of time.

Managing Director’s Review 

CPT will be focussing on the Australian and USA regions where we have our largest clients and best opportunities. While 
travel restrictions remain in place and clients are working remotely, our strategy is to: 

renew existing contracts at existing or higher funding levels; 
grow within existing clients by expanding into new projects and offering additional services; 
preserve margins by maintaining control of delivery costs; 

 
 
 
  maintain control over discretionary costs; and 
 

provide our employees with the services and support they need to work remotely and maintain a healthy work 
and personal life. 

We expect the performance of the business in the 4th quarter to continue into the 1st quarter of FY2021 and approximately 
70% of budgeted revenue in the first half is already contracted. Our two largest contracts are up for renewal at 31 December 
2020. We expect both contracts to be renewed for between 6 and 12 months but, do not have full visibility over the likely 
outcome. However, we are actively working with these clients on the renewals. 

We  are  seeing  an  increase  in the  governance  processes  clients  are  implementing  around  spending  and  budgeting  and 
some longer term projects are being funded over shorter periods to give clients greater flexibility in uncertain times. To 
date this has had no impact on our existing contracts but there is a risk that contracts that come up for renewal will not be 
renewed on existing terms.   

We do not expect to see a material change in our European, Canadian or Asian regions in the first half of the financial year 
and they will be managed opportunistically. Our consultants and sales teams in Europe and Canada will continue working 
in the USA region in the short term.

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 remains under review by the Board. During the 2020 financial year the Board did not set measurable 
objectives to progress our diversity goals, however, gender balance is reported to the Board on a monthly basis. 

Our progress with gender balance can be measured below:

On 30 July 2020, 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 
2020 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.

Corporate Governance Statement 

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 27 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 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.

or indirectly, with a shareholder of more than five percent of the voting shares of CPT Global;

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 

18 years 

Nigel Sandiford 

2 years 

Gerry Tuddenham 

22 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.

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 17 of the Directors’ Report. For details of attendance 
at meetings of the Finance and Audit Committee, refer to page 27 of the Directors' Report. 

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

CEO & CFO declarations 

For  the annual 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  20  to  26  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.

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 139 employees and contractors as at 30 June 2020 (2019: 124 employees and 
contractors).  

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW   

The full year performance of the business was a significant improvement on the half year performance. Revenue 
returned to growth during March and grew month on month through June. Revenue in June was 53% up on February 
and 4th quarter revenue was 31% up on the 3rd quarter.  

The improved performance was led by the Australian and USA regions. Our core industries of banking & finance, 
insurance  and  government  were  critical  to  national  economies  and  governments’  responses  during  the  global 
pandemic and will be critical to economic recovery. Our expertise, status as trusted advisors and experience and 
expertise providing services remotely were strengths that allowed us to continue to provide seamless service and 
advice at a critical time for clients. 

We did not lose any contracted revenue due to the global pandemic although the lockdowns and other measures 
implemented by governments globally did affect our ability to generate new revenue.  

As disclosed at the half year, our Canadian business declined when the contract at our largest client in Canada was 
not renewed and the payments modernisation program was delayed. The global pandemic has compounded the 
issues in Canada. To minimise the impact on the business we have moved Canadian consultants onto USA clients 
as they roll off contracts and the Canadian sales team is supporting the USA sales and delivery teams.  

Europe was hit early and hard by the global pandemic. This had a significant impact on our sales effort as Italy and 
France went into hard lockdowns. As a result, revenue did not rebound in the second half as we had expected.

Directors’ Report 

Margins and profit were helped across the business in the second half with our consultants and sales teams unable 
to travel. The additional costs incurred in moving to remote working were less than the savings in travel costs. While 
travel restrictions are still in place, particularly in Australia and North America, we will benefit financially.   

Cost measures we implemented in March saved the business $0.3 million in the 4th quarter. These cost measures 
included the salary reductions for directors and senior management. 

Financial Performance 

CPT made a net profit after tax but before impairment of goodwill of $0.9 million for the financial year compared to 
a profit of $1.0 million in FY2019 and a profit of $0.5 million for the first half year in 2020.  The net loss of $3.3 
million for the financial year includes the goodwill impairment of $4.2 million that was booked at the half-year.   

CPT’s revenue for the year ended 30 June 2020 was $24.9 million, a 12% decrease on FY2019’s revenue of $28.4 
million.  

The  performance  of  the  business  during  the  second  half  has  been  particularly  impressive  and  is  a  $1.2  million 
turnaround on the profit before tax & impairment we announced for the half year. 

The improved performance of the business in the second half was driven by: 

1.  growth in revenue in March through June in Australia and the USA; 
2. 

tighter controls over discretionary costs and temporary cost savings implemented to prepare the business 
for the impacts of the global pandemic; and 
3.  net cost savings from moving to remote working. 

Earnings per share after tax but before impairment was 2.30 cents per share. Basic earnings per share amounted to 
(8.73) cents per share (diluted earnings (8.73) cents per share). 

Financial Position 

CPT Global’s balance sheet reflected net tangible assets of $2.7 million as at 30 June 2020 (2019: $2.1 million). Net 
assets are $2.7 million (2019: $6.4 million). The reduction in net assets is a result of the impairment of goodwill at 
31 December 2019. 



 

Contract asset (WIP) has decreased by $0.5 million. At 30 June 2019 we had WIP in Canada and Asia of 
$0.5m across 8 clients. At 30 June 2020 we had one active account in Asia and Canada with minimal WIP.  

Trade and other receivables decreased $0.8 million. The main reason for the decrease is a change in terms 
with  our  largest  client  in  the  USA  where  we  are  now  paid  within  2  weeks  of  weekly  timesheets  being 
approved rather than 30 days from receipt of a monthly invoice. At 30 June 2020, we had $18k in debtors 
over 60 days. 

The current tax asset is tax refunds receivable in the USA due to: (a) tax instalments paid in the 2019 and 
2020 financial years exceeding the tax liabilities incurred; and (b) USA tax losses utilised to claim a refund 
on tax paid in FY2018 under the CARES Act. In the comparative period a current tax liability was recognised.  

Property plant and equipment increased by $0.7 million due to the initial application of AASB 16: Leases 
and the recognition of right-of-use assets and the corresponding lease liabilities.  

  Goodwill and intellectual property were impaired by $4.2 million as discussed above and have a carrying 

value of nil.   

 

 

Trade and other payables increased by $0.3 million. Part of the increase is due to the performance of the 
business in the 4th quarter which saw an increase in consultants engaged by CPT with the balance due to 
timing of payments around year end. 

Borrowings  at  year  end  relate  to  the  debtor  funding  facility  provided  by  Scottish  Pacific and  the  lease 
liability recognised on adoption of AASB 16 Leases.

Cash Flow 

CPT had $3.1 million in cash at 30 June 2020 ($1.7 million 30 June 2019) and a net cash inflow of $1.5 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 and the increase in revenue in Australia 
and the USA in the second half all contributed to CPT being able to manage the cash flow challenges in 2020.  

Capital Management  

A fully franked final dividend of 1.25 cents per share will be paid for FY2020.  

Our debtor funding facility has a limit of $5.0 million of which there was $0.6 million outstanding at 30 June 2020 
and $0.8 million was available to draw on.  

In June 2020 we bought back 28,799 shares at a cost of $3,123.90 under our on-market buy-back. It is our intention 
to  continue  to  provide  liquidity  in  the  market  by  buying  shares  on-market  when  circumstances  are  deemed 
appropriate.  

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS 

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

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE DATE 

On 26th August  2020  CPT Global  Limited announced  its intention to  extend the on-market share buy back for a 
further twelve months until 28th August 2021.  A maximum of 3,000,000 shares may be bought back during the 
buy-back period. 

On 25th August 2020, a fully franked final dividend of 1.25 cents per share was declared for the 2020 financial year. 

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

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS 

Likely developments,  future prospects and business strategies of the operations of  the consolidated  entity are 
detailed in the Chairman’s Statement and Managing Director’s Review on pages 2 and 3 respectively. 

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION AND PERFORMANCE 

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

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

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

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

The total premium paid was $59,156.

Remuneration policy  

Position 
Non-executive Chairman 
Non-executive Director 
Managing Director 
Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer 
President North America 

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

To assist in achieving these objectives, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee links the nature and amount 
of executive directors'  and officers' remuneration to  the company's financial and operational performance and 
shareholders’  value.  The  Committee  acknowledges  that  the  creation  of  shareholder  value  has  recently  been 
inhibited by the 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 
FY2020, 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.

Directors’ Report 

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 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 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 net loss in 2020 includes the write down in goodwill of $4.2m. The board believes 
the remuneration policy is effective and can be linked to current years result.

Remuneration of Non-executive Directors   

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

Under  CPT Global’s Constitution, Non-executive Director’s fees cannot exceed the aggregate cap  approved  by 
shareholders  by  an  ordinary  resolution.  The  current  cap  is  $300,000  and  was  adopted  at  the  2018  AGM.  The 
aggregate fees paid to Non-Executive directors in the 2020 financial year do not exceed the cap. 

There has been no change to the fees paid to individual Non-executive Directors during or after the 2020 financial 
year. 

Remuneration of Senior Executives 

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

Remuneration and Nomination Committee;

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
Year Ended 30 June 2020 

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 29 September 2020 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.

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).

Year Ended 30 June 2020 

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) Leases 

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A right-of-use asset and 
a corresponding lease liability is  recognised on  the balance sheet for all  lease arrangements in which CPT is the 
lessee, except for leases with a term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. The lease payments for 
these leases are recognised as an operating expense on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless another 
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are 
consumed.  

Lease  liabilities  are  initially  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  lease  payments  that  are  not  paid  at  the 
commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, 
the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: 

 

 

fixed lease payments less any lease incentives receivable; 

variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate which are initially measured using the index or rate 
at the commencement date;

 

 

 

the amount expected to be paid under residual guarantees; 

the exercise price of purchase options if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised; and 

payments of penalties for terminating a lease if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate 
a lease. 

Lease liabilities are presented in the borrowings line item in the consolidated statement of financial position. 

Lease  liabilities  are  subsequently  measured  by  increasing  the  carrying  amount  to  reflect  interest  on  the  lease 
liability and reducing the carrying amount for lease payments made.  

The lease liability is remeasured whenever: 

 

 

 

the lease term has changed or there has been a change in the assessment of the exercise of a purchase option 
as a result of a significant event or change in circumstances; 

the lease payments change due to a change in an index or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed 
residual value; 

a lease contract is modified and the modification is not accounted for as a separate lease. 

Corresponding  adjustments  to  the  right-of-use  asset  are  made  whenever  the  lease  liability  is  remeasured.  No 
adjustments to the lease liability were required during this financial period. 

Right-of use assets comprise the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made at or before the 
commencement date, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. Subsequent measurement is 
at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 

Right-of use assets are depreciated over the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, whichever is the 
shorter. Depreciation starts from the commencement date of the lease. 

Right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position.  

On initial adoption of AASB 16 on 1 July 2019, the Group elected to use the ‘cumulative catch-up’ approach. Under 
this approach the lease liability was initially recognised at the present value of future lease payments and the right 
of use asset was valued at an amount equal to the lease liability. 

The impact on initial adoption was to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the statement of financial 
position at $1.04 million. The incremental borrowing rate on initial application of AASB 16 was 7.20%. 

The following is a reconciliation of non-cancellable operating lease commitments disclosed at 30 June 2019 to the 
aggregate carrying amount of lease liabilities recognised at the date of the initial application on 1 July 2019: 

Aggregate non-cancellable operating lease commitments at 30 June 2019 
Add: future lease options accounted for under AASB 16 
Add: lease payments not previously included in non-cancellable operating lease 
commitments 
Less: impact of discounting lease payments to present vale at 1 July 2019

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

For the comparative reporting period the following policy applied for 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. 

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) 
(i) 

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 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.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

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.   

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. 

(g) Receivables 

Trade receivables are a part of financial instruments (loans and receivables) and are initially recognised at transaction 
price  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.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

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

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

(i) Intangibles 

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

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

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

(j) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances 

Functional and presentation currency 

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

Transaction and balances 

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

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

Group companies 

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

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

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

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

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

(k) Trade and other payables 

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

(l) Employee Benefits 

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

Wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave 

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

Long service leave 

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

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

Retirement benefit obligations 

(iv) 

Share based payments 

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to certain 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.

Year Ended 30 June 2020 

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 contract assets. 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 contract asset.  

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). 

(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. 

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 debtor level expectations relative to credit terms.  

(ii) 

Contract asset 

The Group  measures contract  assets 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) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective 

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2020 
reporting  periods  and  have  not  been  early  adopted  by  the  group.  These  standards  are  not  expected  to  have  a 
material impact in the current or future reporting periods.

(a)  Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and generally on 30 day terms. The average credit period on 
rendering of services is 46 days (2019: 49 days).  An impairment of $73k (2019: $71k) has been recognised 
in trade receivables as detailed below. The movement in the provision is due to the movement 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: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$174k (2019: $272k) was due from a leading banking institution in Australia with an S&P credit rating of AA-; 

$247k (2019: $42k) was due from a Tier 2 bank with an S&P credit rating of BBB+;  

$501k (2019: $16k) was due from a Victorian university;  

$203k (2019: $0) was due from a Victorian statutory authority;  

$1,529k (2019: $1,179k) was due from an Australian federal government agency; and 

$218k (2019: $0) was due from a global financial institution headquartered in the USA with an S&P credit rating 
of A+.  

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  $2.7m  (84%)  relates  to 
Australia (2019: $2.2m (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 (2019: $78k) which is past due 
at the end of the reporting period. A provision for impairment of $73k, 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 2020 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 $152k (2019: $171k) 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 bank listed  on  the NYSE,  gives  further confidence that 
these past due balances are not impaired. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

Contract  asset  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.  There is $0k 
contract  asset  (2019:  $30k)  that  was  initially  recognised  more  than  12  months  prior  to  the  end  of  the  reporting 
period.  

The balance has decreased by $0.5m. At 30 June 2019 we had contract asset in Canada and Asia of $0.5m across 8 
clients. At 30 June 2020 we had one active account in Asia and Canada with minimal WIP. 

The directors expect all contract asset to be billed in full during the 2020 financial year.  

The provision for impairment of contract asset 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.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued) 

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  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.

At  31  December  2019  there  was  an  impairment  indicator  asset  assessment  undertaken  of  the  intangible  assets 
allocated to the Australian CGU. As the Australian CGU had not achieved its revenue budget for the 6 month period 
to 31 December 2019, an indicator of impairment existed and a valuation of intangible assets was performed to 
determine the recoverable amount.  

The valuation confirmed that the balance of goodwill and intellectual property were impaired and an impairment 
loss of $4.2 million was recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The impairment loss results in goodwill and 
intellectual property being impaired to zero in the Statement of Financial Position. 

The recoverable amount of 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% (30 June 2019: 3.5%). 

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

Discount rate 

Gross Margin 

2020 

2019

2019 

Australia 

19.4%

2020 

4.0% 

2019 

8.9% 

2020 

3.5% 

2019 

3.5% 

Management 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 5%.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

Terminal growth rates – reflect management’s 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.

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. 

Contract liabilities are recorded as a current liability as the underlying performance obligations are expected to be 
completed  within  12  months.  The  balance  of  unearned  revenue  at  30  June  2019  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 2020, the available funding under the facility was $0.8m. 

(b)  Lease liabilities were initially recognised at the beginning of this financial year under AASB 16, therefore 
there  is  no  comparative  information.  The  maturity  analysis  of  lease  liabilities  is  disclosed  with  financial

based payments. 

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%. 

The gearing ratios for the year ended 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 are as follows: 

Borrowings

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.

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: 

Australia 

-  Digital Consulting 

- 

- 

Capacity Planning 

Cost Reduction Sustainable 

-  Mainframe & Midrange performance 

- 

- 

Project & Program management 

Technical Support services 

-  Management IT (MIT) 

-  Management, Functional & Automation Testing 

Europe 

-  Mainframe & Midrange performance 

- 

Technical Support services 

North America 

-  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 contract asset balances.  Liabilities include trade creditors and accruals. 

Unallocated items 

The  Board  of  Directors  review  segment  performance  to  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. 

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

(a)  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, debtor funding facilities 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 $11k and decrease by 
$11k (2019: increase by $4k and decrease by $4k). 

(b)  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.

(c)  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.

(d)  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 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report 

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of CPT Global Limited (the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group)) which 
comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of profit 
or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 
significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.  

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

 

 

giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020 and of its financial performance 
for the year then ended, and  

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 & Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (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.

1.  Revenue Recognition 

Area of focus 

How our 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 $24.919m during the 
year and recognised contract assets of $1.115m 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. 

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

  Revenue is recognised based on significant 
judgments made by management regarding 
estimated savings (MIPS or MSUs) the 
customer is likely to realise.  The results of 
these judgments require significant audit effort 
to gather sufficient appropriate audit evidence 
for revenue recognition; and 

  Significance of revenue and contract assets to 

the financial statements. 

Our procedures included: 

  Documented and assessed the internal control 
environment and performed tests of controls 

  Tested a sample of revenue to supporting 

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

  Confirmed new contracts executed during the year 
have been accounted for in accordance with AASB 
15 

  Performed trend analysis and other analytic 

techniques on revenue to validate amounts recorded 
during the year 

  Ensured estimated savings detailed in project status 
reports and recognised as revenue have been 
acknowledged and approved by the Group’s 
customers, and 

  Ensured contract assets have been invoiced 

subsequent to year end. 

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

2.  Recognition of deferred tax assets 

Area of focus 

How our audit addressed the area of focus 

Refer also to Note 1(b) and Note 1(w)(iii)  
(Accounting Policy), Note 16 (Tax). 

The Group has recognised $1.092m deferred tax 
assets on the statement of financial position, the 
recognition of which involves judgement by 
management as to the likelihood of the realisation 
of these deferred tax assets, which are based on a 
number of factors including whether there will be 
sufficient taxable profits in future periods to support 
recognition. 

The Group also operates in a number of tax 
jurisdictions with differing tax laws and regulations 
increasing the potential for misstatement of tax 
related balances and transactions. 

Our procedures included: 

  Evaluated the directors’ assessment as to whether 

there will be sufficient taxable profits in future periods 
to support the recognition of deferred tax assets by 
comparing the directors’ forecasts to historical 
results, and evaluating the assumptions used in 
those forecasts 

  Engaged tax experts to review managements 

calculations and application of relevant tax laws and 
regulations 

  Reviewed income tax provision calculations for each 

jurisdiction, and 

  Reconciled income expense to prima facie expense 

for the year. 

We also considered the adequacy of the disclosures in 
relation to the recognition of deferred tax assets.

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 2020, 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 has 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 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, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.  

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.
