Statement on Risk Management
and Internal Control
1.
INTRODUCTION
The Board acknowledges that the practice of good corporate governance is an on-going process and not just
an annual matter to be covered as compliance in the Annual Report. The Board is committed to practise the
highest standards of corporate governance and observing best practices throughout the Group. The Board’s
Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control is in compliance with Paragraph 15.26(b) of the Bursa
Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa”) Main Market Listing Requirements (“Listing Requirements”) and the
Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of Listed Issuers.
2.
RESPONSIBILITY
The Board recognises their responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control, which is designed to
identify and manage the principal risks facing the business in pursuit of its objectives, to review its adequacy
and integrity and to ensure good corporate governance. The Management is accountable to the Board for
monitoring the Group’s system of internal control and for providing assurance to the Board that it has done so.
The system of internal control covers risk management, financial, operational, administration, human resource,
information technology and compliance controls to safeguard shareholders’ investments and the Group’s assets.
This system is designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives and
can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.
The Board is of the view that the system of internal control and risk management in place for the year under
review, and up to the date of approval of this Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control, is sound and
sufficient to safeguard the Group’s assets, as well as the shareholders’ investments, and the interest of other
stakeholders. The Board has received assurance from the Group Managing Director (“Group MD”) and the Chief
Financial Officer (“CFO”) that the Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately
and effectively, in all material aspects, based on the Group’s risk management and internal control system.
