Non Audit Services During the year, KPMG, the Company’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to its statutory duties. The Board has considered the other services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reason: • All other services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and the Audit Committee is satisfied that those services do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor. The other services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants , as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
