In memoriam

We’re saddened to report the loss of 
six valued and beloved employees and 
a former board director and Chairman 
during 2022 and at the start of 2023. 

We thank all our people for the extraordinary effort 

that they have made to help their families rebuild 

their lives. Our support and sympathies are extended 

to the families of the late Madeline Gabiobu, Rai Gia, 

Jennifer Goma, Dessie Buka, Andrew Soro Mongagi 

and Brolin Kipma. 

We also mourn with the people of East New Britain 

and Papua New Guinea for the loss of Rt Hon. Sir

his distinguished political career, the late Sir Rabbie 

served as a non-executive board member and 

eventually as Chairman for Kina Securities from

had the privilege of his leadership and guidance.

confident that the 2025 strategy will support all of our

in years to come. I’d like to thank our shareholders for 

their consistent support and commitment to Kina.

Executive Officer’s Message.

We have reached the halfway point in our 2025 strategy. We have achieved significant 
growth in our balance sheet, customers and developed capable people. 2023 will be 
the year that our growth aspiration will expand into different sectors, while we drive the 
sustainability agenda in PNG and continue to deliver value for all our stakeholders.

impacting domestic business confidence, Kina was 

able to navigate through these constraints and deliver 

strong organic growth on our core banking products, 

execute on our digital solutions and focus on growth 

in targeted segments. Another material headwind 

for Kina is the announcement of the tax increase to 

corporate banks, creating negative investor sentiment. 

I would like to emphasise the growth momentum Kina 

has built over the past 3 years, and we will continue 

to deliver value to our shareholders despite this tax 

impediment. 

We launched several innovative products, new 

segments and partnerships in 2022. It’s a credit to 

the outstanding work of all our staff at Kina with 

their commitment to execute first in market digital 

products such as WhatsApp Banking, Xero Feeds 

for our SME customers and our payment gateway 

platform. Our Private Bank and Corporate advisory 

services were launched providing a much-needed 

alternative in the market. And finally, our agile 

approach to partnerships remains strong with growth

while maintaining our growth aspiration through a 

measured approach to risk management. We know 

achieving this balance will underpin our strategy and

resilience and passion in helping our customers and

confidence in Kina. I’m certain we are moving in the 

right direction to fulfilling our vision of being the 

most dynamic, progressive and accessible financial 

services organisation in the Pan Pacific region.

for our people at Kina. Our focus on listening to 

our customers and implementing change saw 

several key digital programs come to life to reduce 

our customers’ pain points. The “Insight to action” 

approach was supported by our first in-branch 

customer satisfaction surveys in the last quarter of 

the year. As at 31 December 2022, we have received 

over 12,000 surveys and a Customer Satisfaction 

rating of 86%. This a pleasing result and as we 

expected the main customer pain point is waiting 

times in Branch queues. Incorporating this feedback

alongside a thorough stakeholder materiality 

assessment supports our sustainability pillars. The 

materiality assessment included 65 interviews with 

staff, shareholders, customers and community groups 

as well as a review of 460 complaints and over 

10,000 Customer surveys. 

This work led to the creation of Kina’s sustainability 

pillars, which are embedded across our five key 

strategic goals, Growth, Resilience, Service 

Excellence and Sustainable Communities. We have 

sharply refined our activities to focus on our three 

sustainability pillars, Inclusion, Transparency and  

our Environment. This report will highlight how we 

will executive against these pillars and what we will 

measure to help deliver on our purpose. 

For further information please see the Kina 

sustainability report investors.kinabank.com.pg/

Investors/?page=asx-announcements.

This is a game changer in PNG and will materially shift 

the market share dynamics over the medium term. 

For our SME and Commercial customers 

improvements in our Telegraphic transfer online 

module provided greater efficiency, the launch 

of the XERO Bank feed, improvements in our 

Corporate Online Banking resulting in an increase in 

online transaction of 12%. We now have nearly 40% 

of our customers actively using our online platforms 

for their banking needs.

Dynamic People

Our people are at the centre of our business.  
Their passion and drive help our customers with their 

financial security and prosperity. Investing in 
capability is critical to the success of our strategy and 

through our leadership programs will help create the 
performance we are seeking. In 2022, we placed 80 

leaders and emerging talent through Kina’s 
leadership program. Our Senior Management cohort 

is the future of Kina and focusing on transformational 
leadership, diversity and inclusion will build a pipeline 

of Leaders that will amplify our five values. 

In conjunction with key leadership skills, commercial 
acumen is another capability that will set Kina apart 
from other Banks in PNG. Customers are looking for 
knowledgeable staff who provide transparent and 
clear information on our financial products.  
We launched the Financial Champions program in 
2022 and have trained over 30 staff. This program  
will see our Financial Champions deliver financial 
literacy education to our staff and then to our 
customers. Supporting delivery on our purpose to 
constantly improve the prosperity of communities 
we serve.

Our career pathways program was piloted in 2022. 
The Funds Administration team were the first group  
to experience the program, which provides a  

clear competency framework and a pathway for 

career advancement. This highly successful pilot will 

be delivered in 2023.

1. Introduction and overview to shareholders

The Remuneration Report is focused on providing information to Kina Securities Limited shareholders about the Company’s 

remuneration framework which is designed to support the delivery of targeted operating financial and non-financial results.  

Although Kina is not required to have the Remuneration Report audited and prepared in accordance with section 300A of the Australian 

Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the level of disclosure meets the requirements of an Australian-incorporated company.

During the year, Kina reviewed its incentive plans to ensure that they align with market best practice and continue to attract, motivate and 

retain high calibre management and employees. As part of this review, it was determined that for all key management personnel except 

the CEO, the deferred component of Short Term Incentives (STIs) would be removed, and the total STI would be payable in cash.  

The Board will continue to evaluate the structure, eligibility, granting and vesting of fixed and variable remuneration arrangements for the 

company, including exercising provisions that exist to defer the payment of STIs.

2. Kina’s Key Management Personnel (KMP)

This report covers the remuneration arrangements of Kina’s Key Management Personnel (KMP) who are the people with the authority 

and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Kina Group directly or indirectly. Kina’s KMP comprise the 

non-executive directors, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD&CEO) and the direct reports to the MD&CEO, who are 
collectively called the Senior Executive Team. For the purposes of this report, ‘executive’ refers to the MD&CEO and the members of the 

Senior Executive Team (Senior Executives). The KMP disclosed in this Remuneration Report for 2022 were:

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Board has established the Remuneration and Nomination Committee (RNC) to ensure the Company:

•  has a Board with an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties and to bring 

transparency, focus and independent judgment to decisions regarding its composition

•  has coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain directors and Senior Executives who will create  

value for shareholders

•  observes those remuneration policies and practices; and

•  rewards executives fairly and responsibly having regard to the performance of both the Kina Group and its executives and the general 

external pay environment (including the level of fees for non-executive directors).

The RNC assists the Board in the performance of its constitutional and regulatory duties by:

•  advising the Board on the remuneration of the MD&CEO, Senior Executive Team and employees holding Responsible Person positions  
(as defined in accordance with Banking Prudential Standard BPS310 Corporate Governance – Fit and Proper Requirements (BPS310), 
issued by the Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG)

•  providing an objective, non-executive review of the effectiveness of Kina’s remuneration policies and practices

•  recommending to the Board for approval by shareholders, the amount and structure of non-executive directors’ fees

•  overseeing aspects of the ’Fit and Proper’ requirements of BPNG BPS310; and

•  identifying the mix of skills and individuals required to allow the Board to contribute to the successful oversight and stewardship  

of the Company.

To align remuneration, performance and strategy, the RNC regularly reviews:

•  remuneration policy

•  the structure and quantum of the remuneration of the MD&CEO, members of the Senior Executive Team, staff holding Responsible Person 

positions and selected risk and compliance staff; and

•  the structure and level of non-executive directors’ board fees and committee fees.

For more information on the RNC, refer to Kina’s Corporate Governance Statement (available on Kina’s website at 
investors.kinabank.com.pg/investors/?page=corporate-governance).

3. Executive remuneration

Remuneration policy and governance framework

The RNC reviews and determines Kina’s remuneration policy and structure annually, for approval by the Board, to ensure it remains aligned to 

the Company’s business needs and meets its remuneration principles. The RNC also engages external remuneration consultants to assist with 

this review as required. In particular, the RNC aims to ensure Kina’s remuneration practices are: 

•  transparent, competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent

•  aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and values, and the creation of shareholder value; and 

•  acceptable to shareholders.

34

3. Executive remuneration (continued)

Remuneration Policy

The key tenets of Kina’s Remuneration Policy include that:

•  Remuneration should be set at levels that reflect the relative size of the position, the remuneration ranges for positions 
of equivalent ‘size’ in the relevant market, the performance of the person holding the position and any position-specific 
factors such as location or the strategic importance of the role.

•  Remuneration levels must reflect what the Group can afford. The Board through the RNC will provide the MD&CEO with 

advice on affordability and this must be factored into the MD&CEO’s annual review of remuneration. 

•  The levels of every role in the organisation shall be identified through a professional job evaluation exercise and endorsed 

by the selected Job Evaluation Panel. 

•  Pay structures and levels may be reviewed based on the organisational growth and maturity over a period; and from time 
to time benchmarked against identified market participants. This survey cycle period shall typically be not more than once 
in any two years. 

•  Remuneration packages may comprise a mix of base pay, performance-related pay and other benefits where this is 

consistent in the market with the structure of packages for similar sized roles, and must take into account the value of all 
such elements. 

•  Remuneration packages, including any performance-based component, must not compromise the independence of any 

risk and financial control officers of the Group. 

•  Where a remuneration package includes a variable performance-based component the package must be structured to: 

 − motivate the employee to achieve personal goals that demonstrably contribute to the Group’s overall strategic direction 

and medium to long-term financial performance objectives 

 − encourage the employee to work within the Group’s risk management framework and to comply with the Group’s 

prudential policies

 − specify measurable, objective, verifiable performance targets which have to be met or exceeded before any additional 

payment is due

 − specify a measurement period that takes into account the time to observe the real outcomes of the employee’s business 

activities and efforts

 − discourage the employee from taking extreme risks to achieve short-term performance targets that could jeopardise 

the financial stability and viability of the Group in the medium to long term

 − provide for the Board to set aside part or all of the performance-based payments due if in the Board’s judgment this is 
necessary to protect the financial soundness of the Group or address unintended and unforeseen consequences when 
the performance-based measures were originally formulated

•  Where a package includes equity or equity-linked deferred remuneration the package must be structured to prohibit 

the employee leveraging the equity in any way until it is fully vested. The Group will cancel the vested equity and rights 
to future equity of any employees found to be in breach of this provision of their employment agreement. The Board 
maintains complete discretion to award equity rights to employees, including the determination of vesting conditions and 
whether the equity rights vest and/or are awarded.

•  On an overall basis, Kina Group would like to position itself between the 50th and 75th percentile of the defined market, 

with flexibility to adjust based on market dynamics and organisational strategy. 

Under the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, Relevant Persons (which includes all directors and officers of Kina (MD&CEO, 

CFO and Company Secretary) and all direct reports of the MD&CEO), are prohibited from entering into any hedging 

arrangements that limit the economic risk of holding Kina securities under Kina equity plans. This helps align the interests of 

directors, the Senior Executive Team and shareholders.

Remuneration components, approach and mix

To align the interests of Kina’s Senior Executive Team with Kina’s strategic goals and to assist in the attraction, motivation and retention of 

management and employees of Kina, the Board has determined that the remuneration packages of the MD&CEO and the Senior Executive 

Team should comprise the following components: 

Fixed remuneration

Short-term incentive award  
(STI Award)

Long-term incentive award 
(LTI Award)

Retention award

Fixed Remuneration (FR)

Total fixed remuneration comprises base salary, other non-cash benefits and includes 
superannuation.

The short-term incentive award (STI Award) provides participants with an opportunity 
to earn an incentive calculated as a percentage of their salary each year, conditional 
upon achievement of group and individual key performance indicators (KPIs) which may 
consist of financial and, if applicable non-financial performance measures

For all participants, except the MD&CEO, the incentive earned will be paid 100% in cash.

– MD&CEO 65% in cash and 35% in an offer of performance rights. 

– The cash portion of the incentive will be paid in the next pay cycle following 
confirmation of the performance outcomes being achieved. For the MD&CEO,  
the performance rights portion (STI Performance Rights) will be issued under Kina’s 
Performance Rights Plan (Plan) in one tranche and will lapse upon resignation or 
termination, subject to the absolute discretion of the Board.  

The Board has the right to vary the STI Award.

The long-term incentive award (LTI Award) provides an opportunity for employees to 
receive an equity interest in Kina through the granting of Performance Rights  
(LTI Performance Rights) under the Plan. 

Under the LTI Award, LTI participants may be offered LTI Performance Rights that are 
subject to vesting conditions set by the Board. 

The Board has the absolute discretion to vary the LTI Award.

Retention Awards are no longer applicable or awarded in the ordinary course of 
Kina’s business.

The Senior Executive Team members may receive their fixed remuneration as cash, or cash with non-monetary benefits such as insurance, 

allowances and tax advisory services. FR is reviewed annually, or on promotion. It is benchmarked against market data for comparable roles in 

companies in a similar industry and with similar market capitalisation. The RNC aims to recommend to the Board a remuneration package that 

would position the respective member of the Senior Executive Team at or near the median for a corresponding role, with flexibility to take into 

account capability, experience, and value to the organisation and performance of the individual.

Vesting of STI Performance Rights

Description

The MD&CEO and Senior Executive Team are eligible to participate in the STI Award  
(STI Participants). 

Cash bonus: 100% of the STI Participant’s STI Award, except for MD&CEO with  
65% of STI Award. 
STI Performance Rights: 35% of MD&CEO’s STI Award. 

Individual KPIs specific to each STI Participant are agreed at the start of each year. These KPIs 
consist of both financial and non-financial performance measures. 
No STI Award is payable unless a minimum Group Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) is achieved.  
The Board has the absolute discretion to vary this requirement.

The Board allocates an annual pool to the STI Award each year. There are levels of targeted 
performance for allocation of the pool for 2022:
Minimum (85% of budget)
Threshold (85% – 100% budget):           50% 
Target (Budget 100%)                               90%
Stretch (100+ to 110%+)                          100%         
Stretch (120%+)                                          up to 120% 

The pool is then allocated in accordance with the maximum and target STI Award for each STI 
participant (which is detailed later) as a percentage of gross pay. 

The Board has the absolute discretion to vary the STI Award.

The number of STI Performance Rights granted is determined by dividing the award value 
by the 10-day volume weighted average price per share prior to 31 December of the year of 
award (VWAP).

STI Performance Rights are restricted from exercise until the second anniversary after the grant 
date and will vest on the second anniversary. These are not subject to any further measurement 
after award and allotment.

Forfeiture of STI Performance Rights

STI Performance Rights are subject to Kina’s clawback policy. Under the clawback policy, 
unvested STI Performance Rights may be forfeited if the Board determines that adverse events 
or outcomes arise that should impact on the grant of STI Performance Rights to a 
STI Participant.

Payments and grants

Payment of the cash component under the STI Award will be made in April of each year after 
the release of the full year financial results to the ASX and PNGX.

Vesting and exercise of LTI Performance Rights

Description

Participants must be a permanent full-time or part-time employee or executive director 
of Kina or any of its subsidiaries (LTI Participants).

The LTI Award will be delivered as performance rights (LTI Performance Rights) with 
each right conferring on its owner the right to be issued or transferred one (1) fully paid 
ordinary share in the Company.

Since 2016, the LTI Performance Rights will only vest subject to Board assessed 
satisfaction of the following conditions:

•  Meeting the required Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance level based 

on peer group – 50% weighting

•  Over a three-year period, whereby:

Peer group relative TSR performance
Below 50th percentile of peer group
At 50th percentile
Between 50th – 75% percentile

Vesting outcome
Nil
50% vesting
Pro rata between 50% to 100%

100% vesting

•  Meeting Earnings Per Share (EPS) target level based on peer group 

– 50% weighting

•  Compound Annual Growth rate over a three-year period, whereby:

EPS performance
< 5% compound annual growth
5%
>5% and < 10%

10%

Vesting Outcome
Nil
50% vesting
Pro rata between 50% to 100%

100% vesting

In 2021, the Board worked with an independent advisor to identify the comparator 
group companies and the advisor calculates the vesting schedule.

Grants are approved annually. The number of LTI Performance Rights for each year will 
be determined by dividing the LTI Awards by the 10-day volume weighted average 
price per share prior to 31 December in the year of grant (VWAP).

While the grants are approved annually, they will vest no earlier than the third 
anniversary of the commencement of the performance period and subject to 
satisfaction of the vesting conditions and performance measures.

The performance periods for the outstanding awards are as follows:

3. Executive remuneration (continued)

Forfeiture of LTI Performance Rights

Unvested LTI Performance Rights may be forfeited:

•  if the Board determines that any vesting condition applicable to the LTI Performance 

Right has not been satisfied in accordance with its terms or is not capable of  
being satisfied

•  in certain circumstances if the LTI Participant’s employment is terminated; or

•  in other circumstances specified in the LTI Award under the Plan (for example, if the 
Board determines that the LTI Participant has committed an act of fraud or gross 
misconduct in relation to the affairs of Kina)

Lapse of LTI Performance Rights

Unless otherwise specified in the vesting conditions or otherwise determined by the Board, a 
LTI Performance Right lapses on the earliest of:

•  if the Board determines that any vesting condition applicable to the LTI Performance 
Right has not been satisfied in accordance with its terms or is not capable of being 
satisfied

•  the expiry of the exercise period (if any)

•  in circumstances of cessation of employment, i.e. either resignation or termination

•  in other circumstances specified in the LTI Award under the Plan (for example, if the 
Board determines that the LTI Participant has committed an act of fraud or gross 
misconduct in relation to the affairs of Kina); or

•  if the LTI participant purports to deal in the LTI Performance Right in breach of any 

disposal or hedging restrictions in respect of the Performance Right.

Calculation of Fair Value of LTI 

Performance Rights

Fair value of the LTI performance rights subject to TSR and EPS vesting conditions for financial 
reporting purposes is generally estimated based on Kina’s ASX market share price at grant 
date and using a simulation pricing model applying the assumptions of price volatility, risk-
free interest rates and dividend yields. Kina engages an independent valuation expert who 
performs the fair value calculations on the grants based on the valuation methodologies 
referenced above and below.

TSR 
A Monte Carlo simulation approach is used to value the LTI Awards subject to the relative TSR 
performance condition as it incorporates an appropriate amount of flexibility with respect 
to different features of the award. This approach is assumed to follow Geometric Brownian 
motion under a risk-neutral measure as follows:

•  simulates correlations between Kina’s proxy and other peer companies as well as 

correlations between other companies in the peer group

•  ranks simulated performances and the proportion of relative TSR award vested as 

calculated based on vesting schedule; and

•  records present value of TSR-hurdle award vested.

The above process is repeated multiple times and the estimated fair value is the average 
of the results.

EPS
Fair value of awards subject to EPS is calculated using a risk-neutral assumption. The fair value 
is the difference between the share prices of the underlying asset, minus the expected present 
value of future dividends over the expected life if holders of the underlying asset are not 
entitled to receive future dividends. The fair value of the awards subject to EPS performance 
conditions will be equal to the share price of the underlying asset if holders are entitled to 
receive future dividends.

Directors’ fees are reviewed annually by the Board, taking into account comparable roles and market data provided by the Board’s independent 

remuneration advisor.

No additional fees are paid

Under the Company’s Constitution, the Board decides the total amount paid to each non-executive director as remuneration for their services as 

a director of the Company. However, the total amount of fees (including statutory superannuation entitlements, if any) paid to the directors for 

their services (excluding, for these purposes, the remuneration of any executive director) must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the 

amount fixed by the Company in a general meeting of shareholders. 

For the financial year ended 31 December 2022, this has been fixed at $1.28 million per annum (no change from the prior year, and the amount 

set out in the Company’s Listing Prospectus). Any increase in the total amount payable by the Company to the non-executive directors as 

remuneration for services must be approved by shareholders in a general meeting.

The aggregate sum includes any special and additional remuneration for special exertions and additional services performed by a director as 

determined appropriate by the Board.

Committee fees

The Committee Chair fees are not duplicated for those directors who are appointed to Chair of more than one Committee or the Board.

Board of Directors
The Role of the Board

The Board is committed to maximising performance, generating shareholder value and financial returns, and sustaining the growth

stakeholders’ interests. The Board Charter establishes that the primary goal of the Board is to add value to the Company by:

•  ensuring the long-term viability and sustainability of the Company;

•  protecting the interests of shareholders by exercising effective control over the Company;

•  bringing independent and informed judgment to bear on material decisions of the Company;

•  setting the standards of behaviour and ethical values for the Company;

Director Appointment

As required by BPNG’s Prudential Standards (Standards), Kina undertakes ‘Fit and Proper’ testing for candidates who will hold 

‘Responsible Person’ positions on initial appointment, which includes directors and the Senior Executive Team.

This rigorous testing, in accordance with the Standards, is also carried out on an annual basis for all Responsible Persons including 

thorough background checks. When directors are proposed for election, or re-election at General Meetings of shareholders, the Notice 

of Meeting provides the following information about a candidate standing for election or re-election:

•  biographical details;

•  details of other directorships held by the candidate;

•  a statement as to the independence of the candidate;

•  details of any adverse information revealed as part of the checks performed about the director;

•  details of any interest, position association or relationship that might impact on the ability of the director to be independent;

•  the term of office currently served by the director; and

•  a statement by the Board as to whether it supports the election or re-election of the candidate.

Prior to appointing a director, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee undertakes appropriate background checks on their 

qualifications, experience, education, character, bankruptcy history and criminal record.

Prior to appointment, candidates are required to provide the Chairman with details of other commitments and an indication of time 

involved, and to acknowledge that they will have adequate time to fulfil his or her responsibilities as a non-executive director of Kina.

Written Agreements with Directors and Senior Executives

Each non-executive director is provided with a Letter of Appointment, which sets out:

•  the term of appointment;

•  the time commitment envisaged, including any expectations regarding involvement with Committee work and any other special 

duties attaching to the position;

•  remuneration, including superannuation entitlements;

•  the requirement to disclose the director’s interests and any matters which may affect the director’s independence;

•  the requirement to comply with key corporate policies, including Kina’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and its Securities 

Trading Policy;

•  the Company’s policy on when directors may seek independent professional advice at the expense of the Company  

(which generally should be whenever directors, especially non-executive directors, judge such advice necessary for them to 
discharge their responsibilities as directors);

•  the circumstances in which the director’s office becomes vacant;

•  indemnity and insurance arrangements;

•  ongoing rights of access to corporate information; and

•  ongoing confidentiality obligations.

The MD&CEO and each Senior Executive Team member are also provided with a Letter of Appointment which sets out the information 

above (to the extent applicable), as well as:

•  a description of their position, duties and responsibilities;

•  the person or body to whom they report;

•  the circumstances in which their service may be terminated (with or without notice);

•  any entitlements on termination; and

•  any circumstances in which their remuneration may be clawed back.

Diversity

The Company’s Diversity Policy emphasises Kina’s commitment to the maintenance and promotion of a workplace that ensures equity and 

fairness and is free from discrimination, harassment, bullying and victimisation. Kina recognises the importance of embracing diversity, 

specifically in valuing the unique qualities, attributes, skills and experiences each employee brings to the workplace.

The Company’s vision for diversity incorporates a number of different factors, including but not limited to gender, ethnicity and cultural 

background, disability, age and educational experience. The Diversity Policy provides a framework to help Kina achieve its diversity goals, 

while creating a commitment to a diverse work environment where staff are treated fairly and with respect and have equal access to workplace 

opportunities.

The Board has been focused on the improvement of diversity reporting which is regularly provided to the Board, and through the Remuneration 

and Nomination Committee, plans to set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity in the composition of its Board, Senior Executive 

Team and workforce generally, and disclose in relation to each reporting period: (a) the measurable objectives set for that period to achieve 

gender diversity; (b) the entity’s progress towards achieving those objectives; and (c) the respective proportions of men and women on the 

Board, in senior executive positions and across the whole workforce (including how the entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes).

The numbers of females within Kina’s workforce as at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021, including the Board and Senior Executive 

Team is set out below:

The Senior Executive Team are those individuals who report directly to the MD&CEO. Team Leaders are those individuals who have been 

appointed as Supervisors and Managers.

Kina was an inaugural member of the PNG Business Coalition for Women and, through the year, has provided specialist training to 

female team leaders to assist with their career development. Kina is a strong advocate for gender smart policies in the workplace and 

provides both maternity and paternity leave for its employees. This is complemented by the opportunity of flexible working arrangement 

when returning to work. Also, within the first six months of a child’s life, new parents are provided with paid leave to enable time out of 

the workplace to feed babies.

In 2022, Kina renewed its subscription to the Bel isi PNG program, which provides safe housing and case management services for 

employees and family members who are survivors of domestic violence. Kina also trained 21 employees as family and sexual violence 

Contact Persons, providing more opportunities for survivors of violence to safely and confidentially reach out for assistance.  

The management has incorporated and launched FSVU on the common learning platform to allow for an extended participation by the 

entire Kina employees. 

The ratio of women to men at Kina is 56% female to 44% male (2021: 56% to 44%).

The Group will continue to promote awareness and understanding of workplace diversity principles and develop policies to help 

employees balance work, family and cultural responsibilities while at the same time removing barriers to career development.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee reviews and oversees the implementation of the Diversity Policy and will regularly 

consider the need to set specific gender diversity objectives.

Performance Evaluation

In accordance with the Standards, and as set out in the Board Charter, the performance of the Board, the directors and its Committees 

are assessed each year. The Board undertook a performance evaluation during 2022 in the form of a self-assessment survey. As in 

prior years, the Board undertook an internal skills analysis during the year. The findings were used to further refine the ongoing Board 

succession and renewal plan. The Board will continue to review individual, Committee and collective Board performance and ensure that 

composition,skills and experience of the directors is appropriate.

Performance evaluations, overseen by the Chairman and the Chair of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee in the case of the 

MD&CEO, and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee in the case of the Senior Executive Team, are carried out on an annual 

basis and were completed in 2022

Principle 2: Structure the board to be effective and add value

The board of a listed entity should be of an appropriate size and collectively have the skills, commitment and knowledge of the entity and the 

industry in which it operates, to enable it to discharge its duties effectively and to add value

Board Composition

The Board currently comprises six non-executive directors (NEDs) and one executive director. The Company’s Constitution provides for a 

minimum of three and a maximum of ten directors. The Board members have a diverse range of skills and experience which ensure they 

are able to add value to the Board’s decisions, contribute effectively and act in the best interests of its shareholders. The Company’s current 

executive director is Mr. Gregory Pawson, the MD&CEO of the Company.

Board Committees

The Board has the power to establish and delegate powers to Committees that are formed to facilitate effective decision-making.  

The Board, however, ultimately has full accountability for matters delegated by it to those Committees.

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee, a Remuneration and Nomination Committee and a Disclosure Committee.  

Each Committee has a separate Charter which sets out, in detail, the membership and powers of the Committee including its roles  

and responsibilities.

The Charters are reviewed at least annually, and copies are available on the Company’s website at: investors.kinabank.com.pg/
Investors/?page=corporate-governance.

Other Committees may be established by the Board as and when required. Membership of Board Committees is based on the needs of Kina, 

relevant legislative and other requirements and the skills and experience of individual directors.

Audit and Risk Committee

The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee to fulfil its responsibilities with respect to financial policies and financial processes, 

including internal and external audit matters, and risk management and compliance within the Company and its subsidiaries.

The objective of the Audit and Risk Committee is to assist the Board in the performance of its statutory and prudential duties and obligations 

and to satisfy itself that the Company:

•  has effective policies and practices in place for the management and reporting of its financial information and results in compliance with 

relevant statutory and regulatory frameworks;

•  has in place effective financial and other operational controls which assure the accuracy of financial information produced and reported;

•  commissions and appropriately considers well researched advice on financial, taxation, insurance and other matters; and

•  has in place an effective risk management framework, covering both financial and non-financial risks and that Kina’s operations fall within 
the Board-approved risk appetite and tolerances; and undertakes a regular and objective review of the effectiveness of Kina’s overall 
enterprise risk management framework.

As set out in its Charter, the Audit and Risk Committee must comprise at least three directors and all non-executive directors.

The Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee is appointed by the Board and must be an independent director. In accordance with the Standards, 

the Chair of the Board must not be a member of any Board Committee.

When appointing members of the Audit and Risk Committee, the Board shall have regard to the need for:

•  at least one member to hold a recognised qualification in a finance-related discipline;

•  all members to be financially literate; and

•  all members to have a sound understanding of the concept of risk and the principles of managing risk.

The Audit and Risk Committee met eight times during the year ended 31 December 2022. 

54

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

The Board has established a Remuneration and Nomination Committee to ensure that the Company:

•  has a Board of an effective composition, size and commitment to adequately discharge its responsibilities and duties and to bring 

transparency, focus and independent judgment to decisions regarding the composition of the Board;

•  has coherent remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain directors and senior executives who will create value for 

shareholders;

•  observes those remuneration policies and practices; and

•  fairly and responsibly rewards Group Executives having regard to the performance of the Group, the performance of the Group 

Executives and the general external pay environment.

In its function as a Nominations Committee, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its corporate 

governance responsibilities in regard to:

•  Board appointments, re-elections and performance;

•  Board and Committee membership;

•  directors’ induction and continuing development;

•  succession planning; and

•  strategies to address Board diversity.

As set out in its Charter, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee must comprise at least three directors and all  

non-executive directors.

The Board has regard to diversity in constituting the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The Remuneration and Nomination 

Committee may obtain information from, and consult with, Management and external advisers, as it considers appropriate. The 

Committee met seven times during the year ended 31 December 2022.

Disclosure Committee

The Board has established a Disclosure Committee, the purpose of which is to assist the Board in the performance of its statutory and 

regulatory obligations by:

•  ensuring market sensitive and/or Company information is disclosed through the appropriate channel promptly and without 

delay; and

•  providing assurance to the Board that all potentially market sensitive information has been considered for compliance with the 

Company’s continuous disclosure obligations.

The duties and responsibilities of the Disclosure Committee include to:

•  assess whether information concerning the Company should be disclosed to the market;

•  determine the substance of the market disclosure and when it must be made;

•  where necessary, review market disclosures for accuracy and completeness and approve or recommend to the Board for approval;

•  determine whether a trading halt or voluntary suspension of trading is required;

•  respond to any request from ASX or PNGX to disclose market sensitive information to correct or prevent a false market;

•  ensure that breaches of BPNG’s Standards are communicated, where appropriate, to BPNG or other regulators in compliance with 

the relevant listing rules and/or continuous disclosure requirements; and

•  oversee the Disclosure Officer’s administration of the Continuous Disclosure Policy.

The Disclosure Committee has the power to:

•  determine whether information should be disclosed to the market or any public forum; and

•  authorise the disclosure of any information to the market or any public forum.

The Disclosure Committee has absolute right of access to any information held by the Kina Group. The Disclosure Committee shall 

comprise at least three members appointed by the Board. Members shall include the Chairman of the Board, the MD&CEO and the Chair 

of the Audit and Risk Committee. The Committee Chair shall be appointed by the Chair of the Board. The Committee met twice during 

the year ended 31 December 2022.

Composition of the Board and details of directors

The Kina Board currently comprises seven directors, one of whom is Gregory Pawson, the MD&CEO. The remaining six directors are considered 

by the Board to be independent non-executive directors, comprising Isikeli Taureka (Chairman of the Board), Karen Smith-Pomeroy (Chair, Audit 

and Risk Committee), Jane Thomason (Chair, Remuneration and Nomination Committee), Andrew Carriline, Paul Hutchinson and Ila Temu.  

The Board considers that each of the non-executive directors are ‘independent’ of the Company. Throughout the year, the Board therefore had a 

majority of independent non-executive directors.

The Board considers an independent director to be a non-executive director who is not a member of Kina’s Senior Executive Team and who 

is free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the 

independent exercise of their judgment.

At least annually, the Board reviews the independence of each director in light of their interests disclosed to the Board at each Board meeting 

and considers examples of interests, positions, associations and relationships that might cause doubts about the independence of a director 

including if the director:

•  is, or has been, employed in an executive capacity by the entity or any of its child entities and there has not been a period of at least three 

years between ceasing such employment and serving on the Board;

•  receives performance-based remuneration (including options or performance rights) from, or participates in an employee incentive 

scheme of, the entity;

•  is, or has been within the last three years, in a material business relationship (e.g. as a supplier, professional adviser, consultant or 

customer) with the entity or any of its child entities, or is an officer of, or otherwise associated with, someone with such a relationship;

•  is, represents, or has been within the last three years an officer or employee of, or professional adviser to, a substantial shareholder of the 

Company’s securities;

•  has close personal ties with any person who falls within any of the categories described above; or

•  has been a director of the entity for such a period that their independence from management and substantial shareholders may have 

been compromised.

The Board considers that each of the non-executive directors brings objective and independent judgment to Board deliberations and makes a 

valuable contribution to Kina through the skills and experience they bring to the Board and their understanding of Kina’s business.

58

Board Chair

In accordance with the Board Charter, the Board Chair is an independent director. The roles and responsibilities of the Board Chair are 

contained within the Board Charter and the role of the Board Chair and MD&CEO may not be exercised by the same individual.

Director induction and education

Kina’s induction program is designed to provide all new directors with a comprehensive view of the business. As part of the induction, 

new directors are given a detailed overview of Kina’s operations, copies of governance and internal policies and procedures and 

instruction on the roles and responsibilities of the Board, its Committees and Senior Management.

The electronic Board portal utilised by the Board provides directors access to relevant Governance Documents, educational information, 

Board and Committee papers and provides a secure means of communication between directors and Senior Management. There is a 

strong emphasis on continued education and directors are expected to keep themselves updated on changes and trends within the 

business, in the financial sector, market environment and any changes and trends in the economic, political, social, global, environmental 

and legal climate generally.

Consistent with guidance on best-practice, all directors seek to complete a minimum of 20 hours during the year in ongoing professional 

development. Directors are encouraged to attend recognised courses, seminars and conferences and internal education sessions are 

scheduled at Board meetings throughout the year.

Principle 3: Instil a culture of acting lawfully, ethically and responsibly

A listed entity should instill and continually reinforce a culture across the organisation of acting lawfully, ethically and responsibly.

Kina Group Purpose Statement

Kina’s purpose is ‘to constantly improve the prosperity of the people, communities, and markets that we serve’.

Fairness  
Imagingation

Togetherness  
Honesty

Since the introduction of the FIRTH values, Kina has seen an increase in employee participation in FIRTH value moments which has 

helped them gain renewed perspective in our values and how they can be applied through the business. Our Learning Managements 

System was updated to include self-assessment and leader assessment of employee contribution to our Values and defined behaviours

Kina has articulated its Group Vision Statement, its Defining Purpose and its Culture in its Board Charter, a copy of which is available on

Acting Ethically and Responsibly

The Board is committed to ensuring that Kina maintains the highest standards of integrity, honesty and fairness in its dealings with all 

stakeholders, and that Kina complies with all legal and other obligations.

Kina’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (Code) applies to all directors, employees of Kina and its subsidiaries (including subcontractors 

and consultants). The Code sets out certain minimum standards of conduct that Kina expects of its employees and directors including integrity, 

diligence, impartiality, equality and fairness. The Code sets out how employees and directors are to conduct themselves in order to meet these 

minimum standards. It is a requirement for all directors and officers to acknowledge the Code annually.

Whistleblower Policy

The Board has adopted a Protected Disclosure (Whistle-Blower) Policy. The Board wishes to promote an organisational culture that values open, 

transparent, ethical, legal, compliant behaviour and does not tolerate behaviour that departs from the high standards expected of Kina directors 

and employees.

This Policy is intended to reinforce that culture and to provide a safe, secure, confidential means whereby persons with concerns over any 

breaches including any unlawful conduct, misconduct, malpractices, violation of any legal or regulatory provisions that has, or may have 

occurred, can report it without fear of reprisal, discrimination or harassment of any kind. It is expected that the protected disclosures will be made 

in confidence and in the knowledge that it will be properly investigated and escalated to the appropriate level for it to be properly addressed.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy

The Board has adopted an Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy. The purpose of the Policy is to provide clarity of expectations, which helps to 

reinforce and strengthen the understanding of our responsibilities as well as those with whom we engage and also provide guidance in dealing 

with incidents or suspected incidents of bribery and corruption, should they occur.

The Policy complements Kina’s other related policies, in particular, the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, Conflicts of Interests Policy, and 

the Gift and Entertainment Policy. The Policy harmonises with Kina’s Core Values that emphasise principles of fairness, imagination, reflection, 

togetherness and honesty in our relationships and business dealings with both our internal and external stakeholders.

Principle 4: Safeguard the integrity of corporate reports

A listed entity should have appropriate processes to verify the integrity of its corporate reports.

Audit and Risk Committee

Details of the Audit and Risk Committee are set out on page 54 above.

Written Declarations

When the Board considers the statutory half-year and annual financial statements, the Board obtains a declaration1, from the MD&CEO and CFO 
concerning the integrity of the financial statements and assurance as to the effective operation of the risk management and internal compliance 

and control systems.

Kina’s financial reports for the half-year ended 30 June and the full year ended 31 December are respectively reviewed and audited by Deloitte, 

the Company’s external auditor.

1 (equivalent to the declaration required by section 295A of the Corporations Act and the statements required by Recommendation 4.2 of the Principles and Recommendations)

60

Principle 5: Make timely and balanced disclosure

A listed entity should make timely and balanced disclosure of all matters concerning it that a reasonable person would expect to have a 

material effect on the price or value of its securities.

Timely and Balanced disclosure

Kina is committed to observing its disclosure obligations under the ASX Listing Rules, the PNGX Listing Rules, the (PNG) Companies Act, 

the Corporations Act, Capital Markets Act 2015, and the PNG Securities Act. The Board has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy and  

a Shareholder Communications Policy that implement Kina’s commitment to providing timely, complete and accurate disclosure  

of information.

The Continuous Disclosure Policy sets out the roles and responsibilities of officers and employees in complying with Kina’s continuous 

disclosure obligations and nominates those individuals who are responsible for determining whether or not information is required to be 

disclosed.

Shareholder Communications

The Shareholder Communications Policy promotes effective communication with shareholders and seeks to ensure that shareholders 

have equal and timely access to material information concerning Kina. The Policy sets out the investor relations program, a key tenet of 

which is to encourage effective shareholder participation.

In accordance with the Shareholder Communications Policy, Shareholders are encouraged to attend General Meetings of shareholders 

and shareholder information sessions and to submit written questions prior to those meetings. If they are unable to attend General 

Meetings of shareholders, shareholders are encouraged to vote by proxy or other means included in the Notice of Meeting.

Kina’s website kinabank.com.pg contains information regarding the Company, the Board and Senior Executive Team, corporate 

governance, media coverage, ASX and PNGX Announcements, investor presentations and reports.

Kina’s Investor Relations Program includes a number of scheduled and ad hoc interactions with institutional investors, private investors, 

sell-side and buy-side analysts and the financial media. At a minimum, so as to ensure that shareholders and other stakeholders have a 

full understanding of Kina’s performance and strategies, Kina will convene analyst briefings twice a year on Kina’s financial performance 

and objectives, following release of the half- year and full year financial results.

Shareholders may receive and send information electronically to and from both Kina and Kina’s Share Registry. Other methods of 

communication are also available to shareholders and other stakeholders, including telephone and mail. Kina may consider the use of 

other reliable technologies as they become widely available.

Each director automatically receives a copy of each ASX and PNGX Announcement directly from the ASX Market Announcements 

Platform as soon as it has been released by ASX and PNGX.

In accordance with Kina’s Continuous Disclosure Policy and Shareholder Communications Policy, any presentation to a new and 

substantive investor or analyst presentation, is released on the ASX Market Announcements Platform ahead of the presentation.

Principle 6: Respect the right of security holders

A listed entity should provide its security holders with appropriate information and facilities to allow them to exercise their rights as security 

holders effectively.

Kina values engagement with its shareholders, providing an understanding to the market of the Company’s business, performance  

and governance. The Company uses the following procedures for engaging with its shareholders:

•  Periodic Reporting: The Company produces financial statements for its shareholders and other interested parties twice per 
year and allows shareholders to receive these documents by mail or access them electronically (investors.kinabank.com.pg/
Investors/?page=Reports-and-Presentations).

•  Annual General Meeting: Shareholders are encouraged to attend the Annual General Meeting each year and are provided with an 
explanatory memorandum on the resolutions proposed through the Notice of Meeting. If unavailable to attend, shareholders are 
encouraged to appoint a proxy to vote/attend on their behalf. The Company requires its external auditor to attend each Annual General 
Meeting and be available to answer questions from shareholders about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and contents of the 
auditor’s report.

•  Website: The Kina website provides information on the Company’s products and services as well as information useful to shareholders 

and market participants (kinabank.com.pg). In particular:

 − the Investor section (investors.kinabank.com.pg/investors); and
 − Corporate Governance section (investors.kinabank.com.pg/Investors/?page=corporate-governance) directs shareholders to 

information likely to be of greatest interest to them.

•  Investor Relations: On its website at investors.kinabank.com.pg/Investors/?page=asx-announcements, the Company posts prompt  
and relevant communications for shareholders and the market generally to access, such as ASX and PNGX Announcements and  
financial results. Investors and shareholders can also contact the Company or its share registry, Link Market Services, directly by email or 
by mail and can in turn choose to receive communications electronically at investors.kinabank.com.pg/Investors/?page=my-shareholding.

The Notice of Meeting for any general or annual meetings of Kina shareholders includes the statement that in accordance with Article 55.3 of 

the Constitution, the Chairman intends to demand a poll on each of the resolutions proposed at the Meeting.

62

 
Principle 7: Recognise and manage risk

A listed entity should establish a sound risk management framework and periodically review the effectiveness of that framework.

Audit and Risk Committee

Details of the Audit and Risk Committee are set out on page 54 above.

Risk Management and Internal Controls

Risk is managed structurally through clearly defined risk management policies specific to certain parts of the business. These are 

interlinked and feed into a Group Risk Management Framework, which is overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee. The Board has 

approved and regularly reviews and updates the Group’s Risk Appetite Statement and tolerance limits, as part of the Group Risk 

Management Framework, to ensure that all major areas of risk and risk management systems are appropriately monitored and  

accurately documented.

Kina has a dedicated Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO) who is responsible for the Governance, Risk and Compliance attributes of  

the businesses. The CRO reports to the MD&CEO and the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee to ensure all material risks remain  

well managed.

The Audit and Risk Committee is supported by a number of approved risk management committees, including the Credit Committee, 

Asset and Liability Committee, Operational Risk and Compliance Committee and Executive Committee. The management committees 

have been established to nurture a strong and robust risk culture within the Group through the application of the three lines of defence 

risk model, and the implementation of key policies and frameworks.

Communication and education throughout the Group on the three lines of defence model emphasises each individual’s role in the 

management of risk. During 2022, the Group’s Risk Management Framework, including underlying policies, was reviewed by the Audit 

and Risk Committee and, where relevant, by the Board.

A dedicated Compliance department is in place to ensure that Kina personnel are aware of the Group’s prudential and legislative 

obligations and that these are maintained at all times. Risk within the Group is managed according to the appropriate risk parameters 

whilst promoting compliance of the limits set in the Board Approved Risk Appetite Statement. People risk is monitored including via an 

Occupational Health, Safety and Wellbeing regime, which is designed to maintain the safety of Kina’s Employees and Customers.  

The Group’s risk management activities comply with all relevant regulation including that of the BPNG Standards, relevant legislation and 

the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA), and the ASX and PNGX Listing Rules.

Kina also employs skilled credit managers who understand the PNG economic environment to ensure that the growing loan portfolio is 

maintained within an acceptable level of risk and within Kina’s Board-approved risk appetite. All lending proposals are considered based 

on credit policy and within the risk appetite of the Group. Debt servicing assessment criteria is maintained to ensure Kina understands its 

level of credit risk while managing its impairment exposure.

Kina’s risk management framework and internal control functions incorporate an Internal Audit function, which reports directly to the 

Audit and Risk Committee.

The Internal Audit function continues to be co-sourced with external providers, which brings the benefit of enhancing Kina personnel’s 

existing knowledge and expertise. The Internal Audit function provides independent and objective assurance to the Board, via the Audit 

and Risk Committee. The annual Internal Audit Plan is formulated using a risk- based approach. Progress against the Internal Audit Plan is 

reported to the Committee on a quarterly basis.

The internal audit function determines an independent assessment of the effectiveness of Kina’s Risk Management and internal control 

environment which is utilised in continual improvement measures of Kina’s business processes.

Kina is exposed to the economic conditions of PNG through its normal course of business in lending monies to commercial businesses 

operating in PNG. Kina does not believe it currently has any material exposure to environmental or social (ESG) sustainability risks and the 

Company is currently working to develop further our ESG framework and processes.

Principle 8: Remunerate fairly and responsibly

A listed entity should pay director remuneration sufficient to attract and retain high quality directors and design its executive remuneration to 

attract, retain and motivate high quality senior executives and to align their interests with the creation of value for security holders and with the 

entity’s values and risk appetite.

Remuneration and Nomination Committee

Details of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee are set out on page 55 above.

Remuneration

Kina is committed to a fair and responsible system of remuneration throughout the Group. Members of Senior Management are remunerated in 

a way that aims to attract and retain an appropriate level of talent and reflects their performance in relation to the delivery of corporate strategy 

and operational performance.

Remuneration for non-executive directors is set using advice from independent consultants and considers the level of fees paid to non-executive 

directors of similar corporations and the responsibilities and work/time requirements of the non-executive directors.

The Remuneration Report and further details about the remuneration policy of Kina are set out in the 2022 Annual Report.

Dealings in Company Securities

The Board has adopted a Securities Trading Policy that applies to Kina’s equity-based remuneration scheme and explains the conduct that is 

prohibited under the PNG Securities Act, Capital Markets Act, and the Corporations Act.

The Securities Trading Policy:

•  provides for certain Trading Windows when ‘Relevant Persons’ may trade provided the appropriate process has been adhered to;

•  prohibits any Relevant Person from entering into a hedge transaction involving unvested equity held pursuant to an Employee,  

Senior Management or Director Equity Plan operated by Kina;

•  prohibits any Relevant Person from entering into a hedge transaction involving unvested equity held pursuant to an Employee, Senior 

Management or Director Equity Plan operated by Kina;

Opinion 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Kina Securities Limited (the Company) 
and its subsidiaries (the Group) which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 
2022,  the  consolidated  income  statement,  the  consolidated  statement  of  comprehensive  income,  the 
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, 
and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and 
other explanatory information and directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, give a true and fair view of the Group’s and 
the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of their financial performance and consolidated 
cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended  in  accordance  with  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  and  the 
requirements of the Companies Act 1997 (amended 2014). 

Basis for Opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under 
those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial 
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics 
Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International 
Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the 
financial statements in Papua New Guinea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance 
with these requirements and the IESBA 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 consolidated financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters.

IT  systems  for  processing 

The  Group’s  business  operations  are  heavily 
reliant  on 
large 
volumes  of  transactions  as  well  as  automated 
calculations  supporting  both 
internal  and 
external  financial  reporting.  These  systems  are 
vital  to  the  ongoing  operations  of  the  business 
and  to  the  integrity  of  the  financial  reporting 
process  and  as  a  result,  the  assessment  of  IT 
systems forms a key component of our audit and 
is considered a key audit matter.  

•  Assessing the key assumptions and methodology used 
by management in the impairment model, in particular 
the discount rate and the terminal growth rate; and 

• 

Testing the mathematical accuracy of the impairment 
model. 

We also assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures in 
Note 38 to the consolidated financial statements. 

In  conjunction  with  our  IT  specialists,  our  procedures 
included but were not limited to:  

•  Obtaining  understanding  of  the  IT  environment  and 
identification  of  the  key  systems  relevant  to  financial 
reporting; 

•  Testing  the  design  and  implementation  of  IT  controls 
including but not limited to access administration, change 
management and segregation of duties; and   

•  Responding  to  deficiencies  identified  by  designing  and 
performing  additional  procedures  which  included  the 
identification and  testing  of  compensating  controls and 
varying the nature, timing and extent of the substantive 
procedures performed.  

Other Information 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Report,  
which  we  obtained  prior  to the date  of  this  auditors’  report, and  the annual  report  (but  does  not  include  the 
consolidated financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon), which is expected to be made available to us 
after that date.  

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

In  connection  with  our  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  our  responsibility  is  to  read  the  other 
information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent 
with the consolidated  financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be 
materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior 
to the date of this auditors’ report, 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.  

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to 
communicate  the  matter  to  the  directors  and  use  our  professional  judgement  to  determine  the  appropriate 
action.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that 
give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 
1997  (amended  2014)  and  for  such  internal  control  as  the  directors  determine  is  necessary  to  enable  the 
preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the 
Group and the Company 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 the 
Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated  financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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 the International Standards on Auditing 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  these 
consolidated financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 
consolidated  financial  statements  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 auditors’ 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 consolidated financial statements, including 
the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent 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 consolidated financial statements. We are responsible 
for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s 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  of  the  Company  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 consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. 
We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements.
For the year ended 31 December 2022

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

General information

1.1 
The Company and its subsidiaries are incorporated in Papua New Guinea. The Group’s business activities include provision of banking 
services, personal and commercial loans, money market operations, provision of share brokerage, fund administration, investment 
management services, asset financing, and corporate advice.

Effective 9 July 2021, Kina Securities Limited amalgamated with Kina Bank Limited (KBL), Kina Ventures Limited (KVL) and Kina Properties 
Limited (KPL) and is now known as Kina Securities Limited.

The directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group have adequate resources 
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in 
preparing the financial statements.

Basis of preparation

1.2 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS) and the requirements of the Papua New Guinea Companies Act 1997.

The consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 were authorized for issue by the Board of 
Directors on 30 March 2023.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of certain financial 
instruments at fair value. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period
1.3 
New and revised Standards and amendments thereof effective for the current financial year, and which have been applied in the 
preparation of these financial statements, that are relevant to the Group include:

•  impact of the initial application of Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

•  impact of the initial application of COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions—Amendment to IFRS 16

Impact of the initial application of Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The Group has adopted the Phase 2 amendments Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and 
IFRS 16. Adopting these amendments enables the Group to reflect the effects of transitioning from interbank offered rates (IBOR) to 
alternative benchmark interest rates (also referred to as ‘risk free rates’ or RFRs) without giving rise to accounting impacts that would not 
provide useful information to users of financial statements. The Group has determined that there is no material impact arising as a result 
of initial application of Interest Rate Benchmark Reform.

Impact of the initial application of COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions—Amendment to IFRS 16

The Group has applied the amendment to IFRS 16 (as issued by the Board in May 2021) that extends practical expedient to apply to 
reduction in lease payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022. The practical expedient permits a lessee to elect not to assess 
whether a COVID-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election shall account for any change in 
lease payments resulting from the COVID-19-related rent concession applying IFRS 16 as if the change were not a lease modification.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies

Amendments to IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for the current reporting period (continued)
1.3 
The practical expedient applies only to rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of COVID-19 and only if all of the following 
conditions are met:

•  the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration 

for the lease immediately preceding the change

•  any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022 (a rent concession meets this condition if 

it results in reduced lease payments on or before 30 June 2022 and increased lease payments that extend beyond 30 June 2022)

•  there is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease 

The Group determined that there is no material impact.

New and revised IFRS standards in issue but not yet effective

1.4 
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group has not applied the following revised IFRS standards that have been issued 
but are not yet effective:

IFRS 17 (including the June 2021 amendments to IFRS 17)

Insurance Contracts

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28

Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint 
Venture

Amendments to IAS 1

Amendments to IFRS 3

Amendments to IAS 16

Amendments to IAS 37

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

Reference to the Conceptual Framework

Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use

Onerous Contracts—Cost of Fulfilling a Contract

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018- 2021 Cycle

Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting 
Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 16 Leases, and IAS 41 Agriculture

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2

Disclosure of Accounting Policies

Amendments to IAS 8

Amendments to IAS 12

Definition of Accounting Estimates

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The directors do not expect that the adoption of the Standards listed above will have material impact on the financial statements of the Group in 
the future period.

Basis of consolidation

1.5 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its controlled entities (its subsidiaries) made up 
to 31 December each year. Control is achieved when the Company:

•  has the power over the investee;

•  is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

•  has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. 

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the 
three elements of control listed above. When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has power 
over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally.  
The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Group’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to 
give it power, including:

•  the size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

•  potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties;

•  rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

•  any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities 

at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings.

80

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of  
the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated profit or 
loss account from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of OCI (other comprehensive income) are attributed to the owners of the Group and to the  
non-controlling interests (NCI), if any. Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Group and to the 
NCI even if this results in the NCI having a deficit balance.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with the 
Group’s accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between 
the members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation, with the exception of foreign currency gains and losses on intragroup 
monetary items denominated in a foreign currency of at least one of the parties.

Segment reporting

1.6 
Operating segments are presented on a basis that is consistent with information provided internally to the Group’s key decision makers. 
The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, 
has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Group has two reportable segments, which are the two business divisions – 
Banking & Finance and Wealth Management.

Foreign currency translation

1.7 
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Kina, which is 
the Company’s and the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of  
the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at 
year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of 
comprehensive income.

Interest income and interest expense

1.8 
Interest income and expense for all financial instruments except for those measured or designated as at fair value through profit and loss 
(FVTPL) are recognised as ‘Interest income’ or ‘Interest expense’ in the profit or loss account using the effective interest method.

The effective interest rate (EIR) is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows of the financial instrument through the 
expected life of the financial instrument or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or 
financial liability. The future cash flows are estimated taking into account all the contractual terms of the instrument.

The calculation of the EIR includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are incremental and directly 
attributable to the specific lending arrangement, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. For financial assets at FVTPL 
transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss at initial recognition.

The interest income/expense is calculated by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of non-credit impaired financial assets 
(i.e. at the amortised cost of the financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss allowance), or to the amortised cost of 
financial liabilities. For credit-impaired financial assets the interest income is calculated by applying the EIR to the amortised cost of the 
credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. the gross carrying amount less the allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs)). For financial assets 
originated or purchased credit-impaired (POCI) the EIR reflects the ECLs in determining the future cash flows expected to be received 
from the financial asset.

Fee and commission income

1.9 
The Group recognises fee and commission income from following major services it provides to customers;

•  Investment and portfolio management - The Group manages investments for a number of superannuation funds and  

corporate clients. These services are provided by the Group on monthly basis and therefore billed accordingly. Revenue is 
recognised as and when the bill is raised i.e. when performance obligation is satisfied.

•  Fund administration - The Group earns a fee through administration of funds for its customers based on the fee rates agreed under 
the terms of the contract. The services are billed to customers on monthly basis at which point revenue is recognised, i.e. at the 
time when performance obligation is satisfied.

•  Share brokerage - The Group generates share brokerage from trading services for customers on Port Moresby Stock Exchange 

(“PNGX”) and Australian Stock Exchange (“ASX”). Revenue is recognised upon settlement of the trade which is commensurate with 
when the performance obligation is satisfied.

•  Loan fee and bank commission - The Group charges various loan fee and commissions to its customers during the tenure of the loan 
unrelated to establishment of the loan facility. Revenue is recognised when services promised under the contract are rendered and 
performance obligations are satisfied.

•  Digital banking fees – The Group increases the services it provides through digital access solutions giving customers convenient ways to 
do transactions. The services include online banking, utility top ups, cashless transactions using payment platforms and card transactions.

Leases

1.10 
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract 
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A right-of-use asset and a 
corresponding lease liability is recognised with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined 
as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office 
furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments 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 assets 
are consumed.

To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

•  the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or 

represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is 
not identified;

•  the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

•  the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most 

relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the 
asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:

 − the Group has the right to operate the asset; or
 − the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each 
lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group 
has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at 
cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus 
any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the 
site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the 
useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right- of-use assets are determined on the same 
basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted 
for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using 
the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

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

•  fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentive receivable;

•  variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

•  the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if any; and

•  the exercise price, if any, under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal 
period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is 
reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in 
the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether 
it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

When the lease liability is re-measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is 
recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less.
The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Taxation

1.11 
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable 
income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting 
period in the country where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates 
positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes 
provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authority.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they 
arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset 
or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable 
profit and loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rate (and law) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end 
of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax 
liability is settled.

The deferred tax liability in relation to investment property that is measured at fair value is determined assuming the property will be 
recovered entirely through sale.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences 
and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when 
the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally 
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive 
income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

1.12   Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other 
assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the following:

•  fair values of the assets transferred;

•  liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business;

•  equity interests issued by the Group;

•  fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement; and

•  fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, 
measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on 
an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net 
identifiable assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of (a) over (b) is considered as goodwill:

(a)  sum of consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity and acquisition date fair value of any 

previous equity interest in the acquired entity; and

(b)  the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value 
as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing 
could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently  
re-measured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in 
the acquire is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such re- measurement are recognised in 
profit or loss.

1.13  Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and deposits held at call with 
financial institutions which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

In the statement of financial position, cash and bank balances comprise cash (i.e. cash on hand and demand deposits) and cash equivalents. 
Cash equivalents are short-term (generally with original maturity of three months or less), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to 
a known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting 
short-term cash commitments rather for investment or other purposes.

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.

Financial instruments

1.14 
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the 
contractual provisions of the instrument.

Recognised financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the 
acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or 
deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly 
attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

All financial assets are recognised and de-recognised on a trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose 
terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at fair value, 
plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at FVTPL

Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets classified as at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IFRS 9 are required to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value on 
the basis of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.

Specifically:

•  debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual 
cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI), are subsequently measured at 
amortised cost;

•  debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is both to collect the contractual cash flows and to sell the debt 
instruments, and that have contractual cash flows that are SPPI, are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive 
income (FVTOCI);

•  all other debt instruments (e.g. debt instruments managed on a fair value basis, or held for sale) and equity investments are subsequently 

measured at FVTPL.

Debt instruments at amortised cost or at FVTOCI

The Group assesses the classification and measurement of a financial asset based on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset and 
the Group’s business model for managing the asset. The Group classifies and measures at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, assets where contractual 
terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding (SPPI).

For the purpose of SPPI test, principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. That principal amount may change over the life 
of the financial asset (e.g. if there are repayments of principal). Interest consists of consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk 
associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a  
profit margin. The SPPI assessment is made in the currency in which the financial asset is denominated.

An assessment of business models for managing financial assets is fundamental to the classification of a financial asset. The Group determines 
the business models at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective.  
The Group’s business model does not depend on management’s intentions for an individual instrument, therefore the business model 
assessment is performed at a higher level of aggregation rather than on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

At initial recognition of a financial asset, the Group determines whether newly recognised financial assets are part of an existing business 
model or whether they reflect the commencement of a new business model. The Group reassess its business models each reporting period to 
determine whether the business models have changed since the preceding period.

84

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

1.14 Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL are:

•  assets with contractual cash flows that are not SPPI; or/and

•  assets that are held in a business model other than held to collect contractual cash flows or held to collect and sell; or

•  assets designated at FVTPL using the fair value option.

These assets are measured at fair value, with any gains/losses arising on re-measurement recognised in profit or loss.

Reclassification

If the business model under which the Group holds financial assets changes, the financial assets affected are reclassified.  
The classification and measurement requirements related to the new category apply prospectively from the first day of the first reporting 
period following the change in business model that results in reclassifying the Group’s financial assets. During the current financial year 
there was no change in the business model under which the Group holds financial assets and therefore no reclassifications were made. 
Changes in contractual cash flows are considered under the accounting policy on Modification and de-recognition of financial assets 
described below.

Impairment

The Group measures and recognises loss allowances for ECLs on the following financial instruments that are not measured at FVTPL:

•  Loans and advances;

•  Investment in Government Inscribed Stocks;

•  Other financial assets;

•  Loan commitments issued; and

•  Financial guarantee contracts issued.

ECLs are required to be measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to:

•  12-month ECL, i.e. lifetime ECL that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months 

after the reporting date, (referred to as Stage 1); or

•  full lifetime ECL, i.e. lifetime ECL that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument, (referred to as 

Stage 2 and Stage 3).

A loss allowance for full lifetime ECL is required for a financial instrument if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased 
significantly since initial recognition. For all other financial instruments, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL. 
More details on the determination of a significant increase in credit risk and determination of ECL are provided in note 3.

Significant increase in credit risk

The Group monitors all financial assets, issued loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are subject to the impairment 
requirements to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a significant 
increase in credit risk the Group will measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL.

The Group’s accounting policy is not to use the practical expedient that financial assets with ‘low’ credit risk at the reporting date are 
deemed not to have had a significant increase in credit risk. As a result, the Group monitors all financial assets, issued loan commitments 
and financial guarantee contracts that are subject to impairment for significant increase in credit risk.

In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group compares 
the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring that was anticipated 
when the financial instrument was first recognised. In making this assessment, the Group considers both quantitative and qualitative 
information that is reasonable and supportable. Irrespective of the outcome of this assessment, the Group presumes that the credit risk 
on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless 
the Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.

Definition of default
The definition of default is used in measuring the amount of ECL and in the determination of whether the loss allowance is based on 
12-month or lifetime ECL, as default is a component of the probability of default (PD) which affects both the measurement of ECLs and 
the identification of a significant increase in credit risk (see note 3).

The Group considers the following as constituting an event of default:

•  the borrower is past due more than a specified number of days depending upon the type of loan arrangement on any material credit 

obligation to the Group; or

•  the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.

Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the 
Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.

Credit impaired financial assets

A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the recovery of the financial asset have 
occurred. Credit-impaired financial assets are referred to as Stage 3 assets. Evidence of credit- impairment includes observable data about the 
following events:

•  significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

•  a breach of contract such as a default or past due event;

•  the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the 

borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

•  the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties;

•  the purchase of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses; or

•  the facility is overdue by more than specified number of days.

The Group assesses whether debt instruments that are financial assets measured at amortised cost are credit-impaired at each reporting date.  
To assess if sovereign and corporate debt instruments are credit impaired, the Group considers factors such as bond yields, credit ratings and 
the ability of the borrower to raise funding.

A loan is considered credit-impaired when a concession is granted to the borrower due to a deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition, 
unless there is evidence that as a result of granting the concession the risk of not receiving the contractual cash flows has reduced significantly 
and there are no other indicators of impairment. For financial assets where concessions are contemplated but not granted the asset is deemed 
credit impaired when there is observable evidence of credit-impairment including meeting the definition of default.

Write-off

Loans and debt securities are written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset (either in its 
entirety or a portion of it). This is the case when the Group determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could 
generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. A write-off constitutes a de-recognition event. The Group may apply 
enforcement activities to financial assets written off. Recoveries resulting from the Group’s enforcement activities will result in impairment gains.

Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position

Loss allowances for ECL are presented in the statement of financial position as follows:

•  for financial assets measured at amortised cost: as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the assets;

•  for loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts: as a provision; and

•  where a financial instrument includes both a drawn and an undrawn component, and the Group cannot identify the ECL on the loan 

commitment component separately from those on the drawn component: the Group presents a combined loss allowance for  
both components. The combined amount is presented as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the drawn component.  
Any excess of the loss allowance over the gross amount of the drawn component is presented as a provision.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the 
financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains 
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest  
in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership  
of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the 
proceeds received. On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and 
the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

86

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

1.14 Financial instruments (continued)

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities 
with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Group or a contract that will or may be settled in the Group’s 
own equity instruments and is a non-derivative contract for which the Group is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of its own 
equity instruments, or a derivative contract over own equity that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of 
cash (or another financial asset) for a fixed number of the Group’s own equity instruments.

Financial liabilities are classified as ‘other financial liabilities’ as the Group does not have any financial liabilities that are classified or 
designated as at FVTPL.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities, including deposits and borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial 
liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over 
the relevant period. The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial 
liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired.  
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised 
in profit or loss.

When the Group exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with substantially different terms, such 
exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs 
because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts issued by a group entity are initially measured at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL and not 
arising from a transfer of a financial asset, are subsequently measured at the higher of:

•  the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9; and

•  the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the Group’s 

revenue recognition policies.

Financial guarantee contracts not designated at FVTPL are presented as provisions on the consolidated statement of financial position 
and the re-measurement is presented in other revenue.

The Group has not designated any financial guarantee contracts as at FVTPL.

Property, plant and equipment

1.15 
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the basis of straight 
line to write-off the cost of such assets to their residual values over their estimated lives as follows:

Furniture and fittings

11.25% to 15%

Building improvements

Motor vehicles

10%

30%

Office equipment

15% to 30%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and 
adjusted, if appropriate at each balance date. Gains and losses 
on disposal (being the difference between the carrying value 
at the time of sale or disposal and the proceeds received) are 
taken into account in determining operating profit for the year. 
Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to statement of 
comprehensive income, when the expenditure is incurred.

Intangible assets and other non-financial assets 

1.16 
Goodwill

Goodwill is measured as described in note 38 Goodwill having an indefinite useful life is not amortised but it is tested for impairment annually or 
more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is 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. Goodwill is allocated to 
cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating 
units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The units or groups of units are identified at the 
lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, being the operating segments.

Other non-financial assets

Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount 
is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at 
the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or 
groups of assets cash- generating units (CGU).

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

Customer deposits 

A customer deposit relationship asset was recognized with the acquisition of Maybank (PNG) Limited in 2015. Also, the acquisition of Australian 
and New Zealand (ANZ) Bank’s retail, commercial and SME banking businesses in PNG on 23 September 2019 gave rise to the recognition 
of core customer deposit intangible (note 20), representing the value, or avoided cost, of having a deposit base from consumer and business 
transaction accounts, savings accounts, term deposits and other money market accounts that provide a cheaper source of funding than 
alternative sources of funding. Customer deposit relationship is amortised using the straight-line method over a period of five years and  
three years on the Maybank and ANZ acquisition respectively, and is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment.  
Customer deposit relationship is also assessed for any indication of impairment at each reporting date and whenever there is an indicator that 
these maybe impaired.

Software

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly associated 
with identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs 
beyond one year are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include staff costs of the software development team and an appropriate 
portion of relevant overheads. Expenditure which enhances or extends the performance of computer software programs beyond their original 
specifications is recognized as a capital improvement and added to the original cost of the software. Computer software development costs 
recognized as assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives, not exceeding a period of five years.

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that outflow of 
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligations can 
be made.

Employee benefits 

1.18 
Short-term obligations

Provision is made for benefits accruing to employees in respect of annual leave and other short term obligations when it is probable that 
settlement will be required and they are capable of being measured reliably.

Provisions made in respect of employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months, are measured at their nominal values using the 
remuneration rate expected to apply at the time of settlement. Liabilities recognized in respect of employee benefits which are not expected to 
be settled within twelve months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group in respect of 
services provided by employees up to reporting date.

The contributions in relation to employees of the Group who contribute to defined contribution pension plans are charged to the statement of 
comprehensive income in the year to which they relate.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

1.18 Employee benefits (continued) 

Cash bonus

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to 
the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a 
past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Share capital and other equity accounts Share capital

1.19 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as 
a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Dividends

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognized in equity in the period in which they are declared by the Company’s directors.

Reserves

Capital reserve comprises accumulated gains on historic asset revaluation. Share-based payment reserve comprises the fair value of 
unvested performance rights as at the reporting date.

Earnings per share Basic earnings per share

1.20 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity 
other than ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year (note 27(b)).

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income 
tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of 
additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Fiduciary activities

1.21 
The Group provides custodian, trustee, corporate administration, investment management and advisory services to third parties, which 
involve the Group making allocation and purchase and sale decisions in relation to a wide range of financial instruments. Those assets 
that are held in a fiduciary capacity are not included in these consolidated financial statements. Details of such investments held under 
trust may be found in note 30.

2. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 1, the directors are required to make judgements that 
have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and 
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience 
and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying 
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is 
revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and 
future periods.

The areas involving significant estimates or judgments are:

•  Significant increase in credit risk – note 3

•  Estimated allowance for loans and advances to customers – note 16 and 3(b)

•  Estimated goodwill impairment – note 38

•  Estimated useful life of intangible asset – note 20

•  Estimation of the fair value of performance right grants and the number of grants expected to vest – note 27(c).

3. Financial risk management

By its nature the Group’s activities are principally related to the use of financial instruments. The Group accepts deposits from customers 
at both fixed and floating rates and for various periods and seeks to earn above-average interest margins by investing these funds in high 
quality assets. The Group seeks to increase these margins by consolidating short-term funds and lending for longer periods at higher rates 
whilst maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet all claims that might fall due. The Group raises its interest margins by obtaining above-average 
margins, net of provisions, through lending to commercial and retail borrowers with a range of credit standing.

The Group also enters into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. This activity generally requires the Group to take foreign currency 
positions in order to exploit short-term movements to the foreign currency market. The Board places trading limits on the level of exposure that 
can be taken in relation to both overnight and intra-day market positions.

Risk in the Group is managed by a system of delegated limits. These limits set the maximum level of risks that can be assumed by each 
operational unit and the Group as a whole. The limits are delegated from the Board of Directors to executive management and then to the 
respective operational managers.

a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that movements in market factors, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads and equity prices, will 
reduce the Group’s income or the value of its portfolios.

The group is exposed to the following type of market risks:

(i)  Foreign exchange risk;

(ii)  Interest rate risk; and

(iii) Equity price risk.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies from time to time and resulting from these activities, exposures in foreign 
currencies arise. Though there are no specific hedging activities to mitigate any currency risk, this exposure is monitored by management on an 
ongoing basis.

Exposure

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period, expressed in PGK, was as follows:

Sensitivity

As shown in the table above, the Group is primarily exposed to changes in US/PGK exchange rates. The sensitivity of profit or loss to 
changes in the exchange rates arises mainly from US dollar denominated financial instruments.

Interest rate risk in the statements of financial position arises from the potential for a change in interest rate to have an adverse effect on 
the earnings in the current and future years. As interest rates and yield curves change over time the Group may be exposed to a loss in 
earnings due to the effects of interest rates on the components of the statements of financial position. Sensitivity to interest rates arises 
from mismatches in re-pricing dates, cash flows and other characteristics of the assets and their corresponding liability funding.

These mismatches are actively managed by the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO), which meets regularly to review the effects of 

fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates of the financial position and cash flows of the Group.

The following table risks summarises the Group’s exposure to interest rate risks:

market rates in relation to lending will result in a maximum possibility of K1,639,739. (2021: K4,586,584) decrease/increase in net interest 
income at a Group level.

(iii) Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk due to the listed shares traded on stock exchange. To manage its price risks 
arising from financials assets at fair value through profit or loss, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of portfolio is done in 
accordance with the limits set by the Group. The Group’s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are publicly traded on the Port 
Moresby Stock Exchange (PNGX).

Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.  
The Group’s main income generating activity is lending to customers and therefore credit risk is a principal risk. Credit risk mainly arises from 
loans and advances to customers and other banks (including related commitments to lend such as loan or credit card facilities) and investments 
in debt securities. The Group considers all elements of credit risk exposure such as counterparty default risk, geographical risk and sector risk for 
risk management purposes.

(i) Credit risk management

The Group’s credit committee is responsible for managing the Group’s credit risk by:

•  Ensuring that the Group has appropriate credit risk practices, including an effective system of internal control, to consistently determine 

adequate allowances in accordance with the Group’s stated policies and procedures, IFRS and relevant supervisory guidance.

•  Identifying, assessing and measuring credit risk across the Group, from an individual instrument to a portfolio level.

•  Creating credit policies to protect the Group against the identified risks including the requirements to obtain collateral from borrowers,  

to perform robust ongoing credit assessment of borrowers and to continually monitor exposures against internal risk limits.

•  Limiting concentrations of exposure by type of asset, counterparties, industry, credit rating, geographic location etc.

•  Establishing a robust control framework regarding the authorisation structure for the approval and renewal of credit facilities.

•  Developing and maintaining the Group’s risk grading to categorise exposures according to the degree of risk of default. Risk grades are 

subject to regular reviews.

•  Developing and maintaining the Group’s processes for measuring ECL including monitoring of credit risk, incorporation of forward 

looking information and the method used to measure ECL.

•  Ensuring that the Group has policies and procedures in place to appropriately maintain and validate models used to assess and  

measure ECL.

•  Establishing a sound credit risk accounting assessment and measurement process that provides it with a strong basis for common 

systems, tools and data to assess credit risk and to account for ECL. Providing advice, guidance and specialist skills to business units to 
promote best practice throughout the Group in the management of credit risk.

The internal audit function performs regular audits making sure that the established controls and procedures are adequately designed and 
implemented.

(ii) Significant increase in credit risk

As explained in note 1 the Group monitors all financial assets that are subject to impairment requirements to assess whether there has been 
a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk the Group will measure the loss 
allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL. 

(iii) Incorporation of forward-looking information
The Group uses forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort in its assessment of significant increase of credit risk as 
well as in its measurement of ECL. The Group’s credit risk management function uses external and internal information to generate a ‘base case’ 
scenario of future forecast of relevant economic variables along with a representative range of other possible forecast scenarios. The external 
information used includes economic data and forecasts published by governmental bodies and monetary authorities.

The Group applies probabilities to the forecast scenarios identified. The base case scenario is the single most-likely outcome and consists of 
information used by the Group for strategic planning and budgeting. The Group has identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and 
credit losses for each portfolio of financial instruments and, using a statistical analysis of historical data, has estimated relationships between 
macro-economic variables and credit risk and credit losses.

3. Financial risk management (continued)

b) Credit risk (continued)

(iv) Measurement of ECL

The key inputs used for measuring ECL are (1) Probability of default (PD), (2) Loss given default (LGD) and (3) Exposure at default (EAD). 
These figures are generally derived from internally developed statistical models and other historical data and they are adjusted to reflect 
probability-weighted forward-looking information.

PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. It is estimated as at a point in time. The calculation is based on 
rating models, and assessed using rating tools tailored to the various categories of counterparties and exposures. These models are 
based on market data (where available), as well as internal data comprising both quantitative and qualitative factors.

LGD is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the 
lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from any collateral.

EAD is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after the reporting 
date, including repayments of principal and interest, and expected drawdowns on committed facilities. The Group’s modelling approach 
for EAD reflects expected changes in the balance outstanding over the lifetime of the loan exposure that are permitted by the current 
contractual terms, such as amortisation profiles, early repayment or overpayment, changes in utilisation of undrawn commitments and 
credit mitigation actions taken before default.

(v) Groupings based on shared risks characteristics

In determining the ECL, the financial instruments are grouped on the basis of shared risk characteristics, such as instrument type, credit 
risk grade, collateral type, the value of collateral relative to financial asset (loan-to-value (LTV) ratios) etc. The groupings are reviewed on a 
regular basis to ensure that each group is comprised of homogenous exposures.

(vi) Credit quality

The Group monitors credit risk per class of financial instrument. The table below outlines the classes identified, as well as the financial 
statement line item and the note that provides an analysis of the items included in the financial statement line for each class of  
financial instrument:

Mortgage lending

The Group holds mainly residential properties as collateral for the mortgage loans it grants to customers. In some cases it does hold cash 
as collateral. It monitors its exposure to retail mortgage lending using a Loan To Discounted Value (LTDV) ratio. At origination, 
the Group lends based on a discounted collateral value which is calculated at 80% of the market value at that time. This becomes the 
Value definition for the LTDV. The Group then lends up to 100% of this Value. The following table reflects the exposure by ranges based 
on this methodology. The Group believes that this methodology provides further risk reduction in case of changes in market value.  
For credit-impaired loans the value of collateral is based on the most recent valuations.

For secured loans, the Group requires formal valuation of collateral to be performed prior to approval of the loan facility.  
The valuation is conducted by the external firm of valuers independent of the Group who are required to meet certain minimum standards as 
per the Group’s policy. Collateral value determined by the valuer is further discounted by 20-30% before determining the facility limit.  
The discounted value of the collateral must exceed the facility limit by at least 12.5% to allow for sufficient buffer should there be any adverse 
movement in value due change in macroeconomic indicators.

The collateral value is updated when the facility is classified as stage 3 or at least every 2 years. The Group monitors the collateral value on an 
ongoing basis and in event of any indicator which may result in significant decline will require the fresh valuation to be performed. As at 31 
December 2022, the portfolio of secured personal lending is entirely secured by eligible collateral.

For unsecured loans, the Group takes a higher level of return to reflect the credit risk. However, credit risk standards are maintained to ensure a 
reasonable standard of debt servicing is proven.

Corporate lending

The most relevant indicator of corporate customers’ creditworthiness is an analysis of their financial performance and their liquidity, leverage, 
management effectiveness and growth ratios. In addition, the Group also requires collaterals and guarantees to secure the corporate loans. 
Similar to personal lending, collaterals are required to be valued by independent firm of valuers before the facility is approved. Approved facility 
limit is equal to or less than the assessed value of the collateral discounted by 10-50% to allow for sufficient buffer should there be any adverse 
movement in the value due to change in macroeconomic indicators. Collateral values are updated at least every 2 years if there are any changes 
to the loan facilities or if the facility is classified as stage 3 loan. The Group monitors the collateral value on an ongoing basis and in event of any 
indicator which may result in significant decline will require the fresh valuation to be performed. As at 31 December 2022, the portfolio of the 
corporate lending is fully collateralized by eligible collateral.

Investment securities

The Group holds Investments in Government Inscribed Stocks measured at amortised cost with a carrying amount of K152,649,962 (2021: 
K112,107,469) which are collateralized by sovereign guarantee

Bank guarantee and documentary letters of credit 
Bank guarantees and documentary letters of credit are fully collateralized by charge over the cash deposits.

c) Liquidity risk

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to meet financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s liquidity and funding risks are governed 
by a policy framework which is approved by the Board of Directors. Liquidity and funding positions and associated risks are overseen by 
the ALCO. The following outlines the Group’s approach to liquidity and funding risk management focusing on conditions brought on by 
the current global economic environment:

•  ensuring the liquidity management framework is compatible with local regulatory requirements,

•  daily liquidity reporting and scenario analysis to quantify the Group’s positions,

•  targeting commercial and corporate customers’ liability compositions,

•  intense monitoring of detail daily reports to alert management and directors of abnormalities, and

•  arranging back up facilities to protect against adverse funding conditions and to support day-to-day operations. 

The Group is monitoring its liquidity contingency plans, lending requirements and guidelines which include:

•  the monitoring of issue severity/stress levels with high level diligence,

•  early warning signals indicative of an approaching issue and a mechanism to monitor and report these against signals,

•  action plans and courses of action to account for early warning signals as noted above,

•  management reporting at a higher level,

•  maintenance of contractual obligations in regards to deposits, and

•  assigned responsibilities for internal and external written communications

Maturities of financial assets and liabilities

The table below presents a maturity analysis of the Group’s financial liabilities including issues financial guarantee contracts and 
corresponding analysis of financial assets held to manage the inherent liquidity risk using undiscounted contractual cash flows associated 
with those assets and liabilities.

The liquidity gap in ‘up to 1 month bucket’ is due to assumption that current and saving deposits amounting to K2,127m (31 December 
2021: K1,667m) included within ‘due to customers’ mature within one month since these are on demand and do not have any fixed or 
determinable maturity.

4. Capital adequacy

Kina Securities Limited (“KSL”) as the consolidated Company is required to comply with prudential standard PS1/2003

`Capital Adequacy` issued by the Bank of Papua New Guinea (“BPNG”). BPNG is the Government authority responsible for the prudential 
supervision of Banks and financial institutions in Papua New Guinea. The prudential guidelines issued by BPNG follow the prudential 
guidelines set by the Bank of International Settlements under the terms of the Basel Accord (Basel 1)

KSL calculates and reports its capital adequacy in respect of the bank.

Prudential Standard PS1/2003 `Capital Adequacy’ is intended to ensure KSL maintains a level of capital which:

(i)  Is adequate to protect the interest of depositors and creditors,

(ii)  Is commensurate with risk profile and activities of KSL, and

(iii) Provide public confidence in KSL as a financial institution and the overall banking system

PS1/2003 `Capital Adequacy` prescribes ranges of capital ratios to measure whether KSL is under, adequately, or well capitalised and also 
prescribes a leverage ratio. The minimum capital adequacy ratios prescribed under PS1/2003 `Capital Adequacy` are: 

(i)  Tier 1 risk based ratio of 8%,

(ii)  Total risk-based capital of 12%,and

(iii) Leverage capital of 6%. 

As at 31 December 2022, KSL’s capital ratios were in compliance with the BPNG Minimum capital adequacy requirements as follows:

Risk weighted assets

Capital : tier 1

Capital : tier 2

Capital : tier 1 and tier 2

Capital adequacy ratios

Tier 1 capital

Total capital ratio

Leverage capital ratio

The measure of capital used for the purpose of prudential supervision is referred to as base capital. Total base capital varies from the capital 
shown in the statements of financial position and is made up of tier 1 (core) and tier 2 (supplementary) capital, after deducting the value of 
investments in other banks and financial institutions. Tier 1 capital is obtained by deducting intangible assets including deferred tax assets from 
equity capital and audited retained earnings (or accumulated losses). Tier 2 capital cannot exceed the amount of tier 1 capital, and can include 
subordinated loan capital, specified assets revaluation reserves, un-audited profits (or losses) and a small percentage of general loan provisions.

The Leverage Capital is calculated as Tier 1 Capital (less inter-group loans) divided by Total Assets. Risk-weighted assets are derived from  
on-statements of financial positions assets. On-statements of financial position assets are weighted for credit risk by applying weightings (0, 20, 
50 and 100 percent) according to risk classification criteria set by the BPNG, for example cash and money market instruments have a zero risk 
weighting which means that no capital is required to support the holding of these assets.

In December 2022, during the PNG Government’s announcement of 2023 national budget, an increase in the corporate income tax rate 
from 30% to 45% on commercial banks was announced and is effective 1 January 2023. Deferred taxes arise from temporary differences 
are actually measured on the expected tax rate at which those underlying temporary differences will reverse in the future. Therefore, if the 
tax rate is expected to increase in the subsequent reporting period then the differed taxes would need to be measured using that higher 
tax rate that is expected to apply in the future when those underlying temporary differences reverse. The Group’s deferred tax assets and 
liabilities have therefore been measured at the revised tax rate of 45% in line with accounting standards. This has resulted in an increase 
in net deferred tax asset of PGK 10.4m and a tax credit of PGK 10.4m included in the statutory net profit after tax.

11. Deferred taxes

The acquisition of Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) Bank’s retail, commercial and SME banking businesses in PNG on 23 September 2019 
gave rise to the recognition of core customer deposit intangible.

The intangible assets were estimated to have a useful life of five years and three years respectively based on the license term of software and 
expected length of customer deposit relationship and core deposit intangible. Customer deposit relationship and core deposit intangible was 
fully amortised in 2022.

Basic earnings per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of 
ordinary shares on issue during the year. The group has no significant dilutive potential ordinary shares. Consequently, basic earnings per 
ordinary share equals diluted earnings per share.

Kina operates both a Short Term Incentive (STI) and Long Term Incentive (LTI) plan. The purpose of these Plans is to assist in the reward, 
retention and motivation of key management personnel and align the interests of management and shareholders. The plans are 
commensurate with those adopted by major banks in Australia and the Pacific and is managed by an independent Plan manager.  
The operation of both the STI and LTI plans are explained below:

Short term incentive plan (STI Plan)

The STI plan provides participants with an opportunity to earn an incentive calculated as a percentage of their salary each year, 
conditional upon them achieving specified performance targets. Under the plan 65% of any award granted is paid as a cash bonus, with 
the remaining 35% awarded as a grant of performance rights to shares. The granted performance rights are restricted from exercise and 
subject to the Company’s clawback policy and subject to the rules of the Plan.

The following STI plan arrangements were in place during the year ended 31 December 2022

Long term incentive plan (LTI plan)

The LTI plan provides participants with an opportunity to receive an equity interest in Kina through the granting of performance rights. LTI plan 
participants may be offered performance rights that may be subject to vesting conditions as set out by the Board. The selection of participants is 
at the discretion of the Board.

A performance right is a contractual right to receive one ordinary share in Kina, subject to performance and vesting conditions being met.

The estimated fair value of share rights issued on 1 April 2022 under the LTI plan was AUD 0.49, compared to the grant date market value per 
share of AUD 0.7756. Fair value is generally estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model taking into account the share price at grant date, 
the vesting period, share price volatility, risk-free interest rate and market performance conditions.

Retention incentive

The retention plan is a once off award of performance rights to assist in the retention of key eligible participants. No retention rights were 
granted during the year.

34. Contingent liabilities
Litigations and claims

Contingent liabilities exist in respect of actual and potential claims and proceedings that have not been determined. An assessment of 
the Group’s likely loss has been made on a case by case basis for the purposes of the financial statements and specific provisions are 
made where appropriate. As at 31 December 2022, the Group is a party to some litigation before the courts, however, management 
does not believe these will result in any material loss to the Group. There was no litigation matter of a material nature that is not already 
provided for in the financial statements.

Other contingent liabilities

The Bank guarantees the performance of customers by issuing bank guarantees to third parties. The risk involved is essentially the same 
as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, therefore these transactions are subject to the same credit origination, 
portfolio maintenance and collateral requirements applied to customers applying for loans. As the facilities may expire without being 
drawn upon, the notional amount does not necessarily reflect future cash requirements. The credit risk of these facilities may be less than 
the notional amount but as it cannot be accurately determined, the credit risk has been taken as the contract notional amount.

Loan commitments

There was a total of K229.8m relating loan commitment at balance sheet date (31 December 2021: K168.6m).

36. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

The Group measures fair values in accordance with IFRS 13, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid 
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Group also uses a fair value hierarchy 
that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, which gives highest priority to quoted prices. 

•  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the 

measurement date. Assets and liabilities are classified as Level 1 if their value is observable in an active market.

•  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or 
indirectly. A Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the instrument. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for 
similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs 
other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

•  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities are classified as Level 3 if their valuation incorporates significant inputs that 

are not based on observable market data.

Where possible, fair value is determined by reference to a quoted market price for the instrument valued. The group does not hold any material 
financial instruments for which quoted prices are not available other than investment in unlisted shares which are classified in Level 3 category.

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped by fair 
value hierarchy level.

Reconciliation of level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities

The group holds investment in unlisted securities amounting to K10,351,782 (31 December 2021: K6,616,782) in level 3 category.  
During the year, there were additions or disposals in these securities. The increase is entirely attributable to gain arising on revaluation of 
these investments.

The parent holds investment in unlisted securities amounting to K10,323,495 (31 December 2021: K6,588,495) in level 3 category. 
During the year, there were additions or disposals in these securities. The increase is entirely attributable to gain arising on revaluation of 
these investments.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

For the financial instruments not measured at fair value as at 31 December 2022 and 2021, there is no material difference between the 
fair value and carrying value of the Group’s and the Parent’s financial assets and liabilities.

38. Goodwill

On September 2015, the Group, through Kina Ventures Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of Kina Securities Limited, acquired all of the 
shares in Maybank (PNG) Limited and Maybank Property (PNG). Maybank (PNG) and Maybank Property (PNG) are the PNG subsidiaries 
of Malaysia’s largest bank. The acquisition strengthened Kina Bank’s investment in PNG as it is an excellent fit for its expansion program.

The goodwill arising on this acquisition was recorded at K92.8 million. The goodwill was attributable to Maybank (PNG) Limited’s strong 
position and synergies expected to arise after the Group’s acquisition of the new subsidiary. None of the goodwill is expected to be 
deductible for tax purposes.

For the purpose of impairment test, goodwill is allocated to the Group’s banking business as an independent cash generating unit (CGU). 
The banking CGU including goodwill was tested for impairment as at 31 December 2022 by comparing the CGU’s carrying amount 
with its recoverable amount and no impairment loss was recognised.

The recoverable amount is determined based on a value-in-use calculation which uses post-tax cash flow projections based on financial 
budgets approved by the directors discounted by a cost of equity of 16% applicable to banking business. Given a banking business is 
generally valued on equity basis, the use of post-tax cash flows and discount rate is considered more appropriate. The projected cash 
flows cover a period of 5 years beyond which they are extrapolated using an estimated growth rate of 3%. The key approved budgets 
the cashflow models are derived from assume an average growth rate in net profit after tax (NPAT) over the forecast period of 6.3%.

Sensitivity analysis

Under above assumptions, the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeds its carrying amount by K128 million. As disclosed  
in note 10, during the year the corporate income tax has been increased from 30% to 45% applicable to banking institutions and 
effective 1 January 2023. The Group has assumed the new tax rate in the forecast cash flows which has resulted in significant impact on 
the forecasts. Had the tax rate been 30%, the recoverable amount would have exceeded the carrying amount by K386m.

The Group has conducted an analysis of sensitivity of the impairment test to changes in the key assumptions used to determine the 
recoverable amount assuming a corporate income tax rate of 45%. The directors believe that the following represent reasonably 
possible changes in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount of the banking CGU is based would result in the carrying 
amount to exceed its recoverable amount:

•  If all other assumptions remain the same, should the discount rate be increased to 19%, the carrying value will exceed the 

recoverable amount by K12 million.

•  If all other assumptions remain the same, should the average NPAT growth rate be reduced to 3.3%, the carrying value will 

exceed the recoverable amount by K13 million.
