CHAIR’S REPORT
Dear Shareholders,
��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
FY24 has been an exciting time of change and progress on the back of the record FY23 results. A strong performance was again delivered by all our business groups, with revenue ending at another historic high. Our strong pipeline of work and tender outlook positions the Company well to continue to deliver its growth ambitions.
Through our wholly owned subsidiary WPF, we acquired A&B Welding in Darwin, enhancing our geographic capability and capacity to deliver projects for the Mining and Industrial, and Energy sectors. Duratec’s 49% owned associate business, DDR Australia, completed the strategic acquisition of RC Construction, expanding our capability and allowing further access to aligned procurement opportunities.
STRONG OPERATING RESULTS
FY24 reported revenue was $555.8m, 13% higher than FY23 ($491.8m). This represents another successful year of revenue growth for the Company. Normalised EBITDA was $47.6m, a 22.6% increase year on year and towards the upper end of our guidance range, with increased average margins. These results demonstrate Duratec’s ability to grow and adapt to the inevitable shifts in demand across industries and projects, whilst delivering strong levels of ���������������������������������������������������������� standards. For the 12-month reporting period we recorded a lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) of zero and a total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) of 2.74 per 1 million hours worked.
���������������������������������������������������� in, and advancement of, our in-house technologies to support future growth. We have enhanced our ������������������������������������������������������ remain competitive and dynamic. Our investments in FY24 included advanced 3D modelling, adopting further early contractor involvement practices, and technical assets such as the Novarc Technologies’ spool welding robot (SWR) which we installed earlier in the year.
At the end of FY24, our orderbook and pipeline remain extremely strong, with projects of varying sizes progressing ������������������������������������������������������ be awarded in FY25. With an orderbook of $405m and tendered works of $1.4b on within a total $3.8b pipeline of opportunities, Duratec is well positioned for continued ��������������������������������������
SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
During the year we formalised our Board Sustainability Committee, with Krista Bates appointed as Chair.
Our Sustainability function within the business has been working on establishing a baseline of our sustainability impacts, with Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions as a priority. By understanding how our business activities drive environmental impacts, we will be able to model the impact of our business growth aspirations and identify the highest value impact reduction opportunities. In addition, we are undertaking a risk assessment to ensure the necessary mitigations are in place for key Sustainability-related risks.
������������������������������������������������������������ share, taking the total dividend for the year to 4 cents per share. This represents a payout ratio of 46%, which the Board believes strikes a good balance between dividend distribution and preserving cash for future growth. Our balance sheet remains strong, with net cash of $65.2m able to support our key growth objectives.
BUSINESS STRATEGY SUPPORTS ONGOING GROWTH
The Sustainability Team will work closely with all parts of the business to progressively ensure Sustainability is integrated at a pace and scale that meets the ��������������������������������������������������������� stakeholders.
The strong FY24 results were underpinned by our proven ����������������������������������������������������������� various sectors including Defence, Building and Facade, Mining and Industrial, Energy, Marine and Infrastructure. In FY24, we continued to focus on winning projects that capitalise on our expertise, experience and capability, whilst simultaneously investing in our tender outlook. Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) and catering to every stage of the life cycle of customers’ assets, remains key in delivering strong end-to-end project outcomes for our clients.
We continue to be passionate about supporting women in construction as well as delivering ongoing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander opportunities and will continue to do so in FY25.
In FY24, we made a number of acquisitions and entered into new partnerships to boost our end-to-end capabilities.

LEADERSHIP TRANSITION
Following Phil Harcourt’s retirement after 14 very successful years at the helm of the Company, the Board was very pleased to appoint Chris Oates as Managing Director in November 2023.

Shortly after stepping into the Managing Director role, Chris led a strategic review which resulted in an organisational restructure of the business. This review ensures sustainable operations, positioning Duratec for future growth and to deliver on our long-term vision and strategy.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my deep gratitude to all our employees – in a time of change and evolution, your commitment and professionalism have been unwavering.

Managing Director’s Report
STRATEGIC REVIEW
An important achievement of FY24 was the completion of a strategic review. The review undertook an in-depth analysis of our past performance, company structure, and industry trends. We developed an updated strategy to support ���������������������������������������������������������� systems and processes to track our progress.
Our past operational performance has delivered healthy results. As we prepare for our next stage of growth, this new strategy is shaping a sustainable pathway for Duratec into the future. Our updated Executive Leadership Team has a wide range of skills and expertise that will lead us into this next period of growth.
OUTLOOK
Our strategic approach, including the use of ECI, has consistently delivered optimal outcomes for clients and stakeholders through collaboration and comprehensive solutions. Our investments in technology through our wholly owned subsidiary, MEnD, have enabled us to assist our clients at an early stage in understanding their assets and projects digitally, allowing them to make informed decisions on project delivery and maximising value. Due to the high levels of tendering and ECI assignments, we �������������������������������������������������������� sectors in FY25.
The Australian Department of Defence (DoD) has released indications of expected works into the future through the latest Defence Strategic Review. Key opportunities include an $8 billion spend at Garden Island Stirling base, where Duratec and Duratec Ertech Joint Venture (DEJV) ���������������������������������������������������������� the Company’s tender pipeline. Our past work with the DoD has shown our ability to deliver large scale projects in line with its high quality and safety standards. We have �������������������������������������������������������� Australian Government strategic relationships, as well as US Department of Defence spend which aligns with our capabilities and in-house experience.
We are seeing a demand from existing clients for our ���������������������������������������������������������� the opportunity to grow and expand our geographical presence. Australian based opportunities are still plentiful as we continue to work with Santos on decommissioning works and recently gained Woodside vendor status which will provide maintenance opportunities for the Company.
Both Duratec and our wholly owned subsidiary, WPF, have exciting current and prospective projects in these areas which are expected to deliver growth in this sector.
With favourable commodity prices and on the back of major capital expenditure in previous years, the maintenance requirements continue to grow across our clients’ assets in the Mining and Industrial sector. With the assistance of MEnD, we are working collaboratively with our clients to complete asset condition assessments and are a trusted partner in delivering the remediation scopes which we have vision of in our pipeline.
Increasing numbers of building owners across Australia are de-risking their portfolios or repurposing their assets by remediating the facades of their buildings. Our strategic approach to leveraging our in-house building and facade design capabilities, coupled with our nationwide presence, has positioned us well to work with clients and assist them �����������������������������������������������������������
The Company will leverage its strong position by taking a strategic and targeted approach to tendering and securing new work. Engaging with our clients early will continue to be our focus, to ensure we can convert our pipeline and deliver ��������������������������������������������������������
�������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������ growth in line with our strategy, supported by our diverse capabilities across Australia and beyond. Our achievements would not be possible without our committed and talented workforce, and I am looking forward to engaging with them as I travel around the business in the coming year.

Duratec achieved a record revenue result in FY24 of $555.8m. This was an increase of 13.0% compared to FY23 revenue of $491.8m.
All sectors contributed to this strong result. The Mining ����������������������������������������������������������� revenue of $155.6m in FY24, a 79.4% increase to FY23. The growth for M&I is attributable to BHP Berth C&D Remediation and several structural integrity upgrades on various key Rio Tinto sites.
��������������������������������������������������������� growth with a total revenue of $111.3m, 42.0% higher than FY23. Key projects included Central Park Tower Recladding and the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust project.
Revenue from Defence was slightly lower by 3.8%, though it remained a solid contributor to overall revenue, closing at $220.2m for FY24. Several Defence projects further progressed this year including RAAF Base Tindal Fuel Facility, HMAS Coonawarra Harbour Works and HMAS Stirling Oxley Wharf Extension.
The Energy sector revenue was 29.6% lower at $46.6m due to the delivery of the aviation fuel hydrant package at Western Sydney Airport (WSA) in 1HFY24.
Overheads increased in FY24 due to heightened tendering activity and additional administrative support as we position for continued growth in FY25 and FY26.
DDR Australia, Duratec’s 49% owned associate business, delivered a strong result in FY24 with Duratec’s share of ������������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������������������������������������������ undertaking of several successful projects during the year as well as completing a strategic acquisition of RC Construction (RCC) in January 2024.

Depreciation and �������������������������������������������������������� asset additions in the year, as well as having a full year of customer relationship amortisation for WPF Duratec, which was acquired part way through FY23.
FY24 REVENUE BY OPERATING SEGMENT
The Other sector generated $22.0m of revenue, which was down 29.9% compared to FY23. This was mainly due to Transport Infrastructure projects undertaken in FY23 being completed.
���������������������������������������������������������� of 17.3% being achieved. This improved average margin was the result of an increase in self-perform MSA contracts delivered in both M&I and Energy sectors whilst we also experienced better gross margins on projects secured via our ECI model. Due to the high level of ECI opportunities in our pipeline, we have the ability to uphold our margins at these levels going forward.

WPF’S NEW NOVARC SPOOL WELDING ROBOT: CHANGING THE FACE OF PIPE FABRICATION
Since acquiring engineering services company WPF in late 2022, Duratec has helped to grow ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������
Established more than 20 years ago, WPF is a valued and trusted provider of manufacturing, fabrication and repair services to complex and specialised equipment used within the oil and gas, and resources sectors. A contributing factor to WPF’s success is its commitment to ongoing investment in the latest equipment and technology. A good ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� welding robot.
GAME-CHANGING TECHNOLOGY
Based in Canada, Novarc Technologies specialises in the design of collaborative robots (cobots) for welding applications. AI is enabling the transition from manual processes to sophisticated, automated systems. Cobots, such as the SWR, are designed to work in conjunction with human operators. Novarc’s technology is capable of welding a variety of joints, while operators make adjustments during the weld without the need to reprogram. Development of the SWR was a result of Novarc’s close collaboration with fabrication companies, who were looking for ways to automate the pipe spool welding process. There was general frustration at the lack of industry innovation and this set the wheels in motion for Novarc. The team got to work, designing and producing a robot with the precision and dexterity required by workshops.
BENEFITS OF THE SWR
������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� way the workshop operates. The robot combines advanced automation technology with human input to produce fast, ���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� the heavy lifting to Novarc’s collaborative robot.”

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY, FASTER TURNAROUND TIME
The SWR alleviates some of the pressures borne by the industry. On implementing the robot, a single human ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� allowing WPF to deliver projects faster, which is of great advantage to the client. It also increases WPF’s physical capacity as welding jobs that would have previously occupied four welding bays are now contained in just one bay. International users of Novarc’s technology have said that it allows “pipe welding tasks to be completed more ����������������������������
SAFETY
Automation in welding involves the use of robotic systems to perform tasks carried out by human welders. When welding pipe, it is crucial that workers are protected from the UV radiation produced by the arc. The SWR does just this, thereby preserving workers’ safety and increasing the longevity of their careers. The SWR collaborates with the operator and is equipped with a powerful, in-built safety system. This system features various sensors that can detect initial faults and isolate prior to failures occurring. It also includes emergency stop buttons at all practical locations to ensure the ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� welding with minimised human intervention as the machine is operated via a pendant control. The operator simply positions the SWR, hits start and then presses stop upon completion of the weld. It means the rotatable, repetitive welds can be allocated to the SWR, freeing up skilled welders to concentrate on more complex welds.
QUALITY
The SWR consistently delivers high-quality welds. According to CEO of Novarc Technologies, Soroush Karimzadeh, ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� the repair rate drop to less than one per cent. The machine also meets key quality tests, while Novarc’s software programs provide accountability and traceability when it comes to quality assurance and quality control. Novarc’s smart-vision and image-processing system, which integrates state-of-the-art AI algorithms with advanced robotic controls, delivers X-ray quality welds.

Construction sites typically rely on diesel- or petrol-powered generators where access to power is not available. Knowing the impacts this fuel use has, Duratec worked with Blue Diamond to undertake a six-week Hydrogen Generator trial at one of our construction sites in Sydney.

In FY24, Duratec’s environmental performance across our projects remained consistent with our performance from FY23. Environmental incidents that occurred were minor in nature (including small-scale oil, fuel or water spills) and our teams responded as per their training and the relevant project environmental management plans.
In FY24, Duratec transitioned to an average of 20% GreenPower for 15 of our properties. Duratec is seeking to increase both the number of sites on GreenPower, and the proportion of GreenPower over time.

NOTE 1: MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation �������������������������������������������������������������� have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
NEW OR AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
A. NEW OR AMENDED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
����������������������������������������������������������� incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The Company’s registered address is 108 Motivation Drive, Wangara, �������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������ June 2024 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group” or the “consolidated entity”). The Group provides assessment, protection, remediation and refurbishment services to a broad range of assets, in particular steel and concrete infrastructure.
�������������������������������������������������� Australian dollars, which is Duratec Limited’s functional and presentation currency. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated, under the option available to the Company under ASIC �������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������� this legislative instrument applies.
�������������������������������������������������������� ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001.
HISTORICAL COST CONVENTION
������������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������������������������� have been measured at fair value.
COMPLIANCE WITH IFRS
�������������������������������������������������������� comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
B. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Group is in the business of providing construction and maintenance services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that ���������������������������������������������������������� to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the goods and services before transferring them to the customer.
I. CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
Construction contracts are assessed to identify the performance obligations contained in the contract. The total transaction price is allocated to each individual performance obligation. Typically, the Group’s construction contracts contain a single performance obligation.
Work is performed on assets that are controlled by the customer or on assets that have no alternative use to the Group, with the Group having right to payment for performance to date. As performance obligations are ����������������������������������������������������������� an input method based on costs incurred to date relative to forecasts to cost to complete.
Fundamental to this calculation is a reliable estimate of the transaction price (total contract revenue). In determining the transaction price, variable consideration including claims and certain contract variations are only included to ������������������������������������������������������������� in revenue will not occur in the future. Where a variation in scope has been agreed with the customer but the corresponding change in the transaction price has not been agreed the variation is accounted for as variable consideration. The estimate of variable consideration is determined using the expected value approach taking into account the facts and circumstances of each individual contract and the historical experience of the Group and is reassessed throughout the life of the contract.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the contract is considered onerous and the present obligation under the contract is recognised immediately as a provision. Key assumptions regarding costs to complete contracts include estimation of labour, technical costs, impact of delays and productivity.
Customers are typically invoiced on a monthly basis and invoices are paid on normal commercial terms.

II. SERVICES CONTRACTS
Contracts for performance of maintenance activities cover servicing of assets and involve various activities. These activities tend to be substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Where this is the case, which is the majority of the services contracts, these services are taken to be one performance obligation and the total transaction price is allocated to the performance ����������������������
������������������������������������������������������� Group largely enhances assets which the customer controls. For these contracts, the transaction price is determined as an estimate of this variable consideration.
III. VARIABLE CONSIDERATION
If the consideration in the contract includes a variable amount, the Group estimates the amount of the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for transferring the goods and services to the customer. The Group includes some or all of this variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent it is highly probable ������������������������������������������������������ recognised will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Certain contracts are subject to claims which are enforceable under the contract. If the claim does not result in any additional goods or services, the transaction price is updated, and the claim accounted for as variable consideration.
IV. SIGNIFICANT FINANCING COMPONENT
Using the practical expedient in AASB 15, the Group does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the ����������������������������������������������������������� at contract inception, that the period between the transfer or the promised good or service to the customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).
V. INTEREST
Interest Revenue is recognised on a proportional basis ��������������������������������������������������������������� assets.
C. GOVERNMENT REBATES
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and ������������������������������������������������������� to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
D. INCOME TAX
The charge for current income tax expense is based on ����������������������������������������������������������� disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted at statement of �������������������������
Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method in �������������������������������������������������������� bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts ��������������������������������������������������������� be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is �����������������������������������������������������
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the statement of comprehensive income except where it relates to items that may be credited direct to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is ����������������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������������������������� carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer ������������������������������������������������������������ allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
������������������������������������������������������� be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation ������������������������������������������������������������ ����������������������������������������������������� realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by law.
Duratec Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income-tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. Duratec Limited and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has been applied the ‘separate taxpayer within group’ approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.

E. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Operating segments are presented using the ‘management approach’, where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
F. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits ������������������������������������������������������������ highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known ���������������������������������������������������������� risk of change in value.
G. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
A receivable represents the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies in “Financial Assets” on page 65.
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the ���������������������������������������������������������� credit losses (‘ECL’). The consolidated entity has applied ����������������������������������������������������� losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
H. CONTRACT ASSETS AND CONTRACT LIABILITIES
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. If the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognised for the earned consideration that is conditional.
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is owing) from the customer. If a customer is invoiced before the Group transfers goods or services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the invoice is raised. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract.
I. INVENTORIES
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for at ������������������������������������������������������������ value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
J. FINANCIAL ASSETS
������������������������������������������������������������ subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), or fair value �����������������������
������������������������������������������������������������� at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give �������������������������������������������������������������� interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to ��������������������������������������������������������� and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a ����������������������������������������������������
I. SUBSEQUENT MEASUREMENT - FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST
This category is the most relevant to the Group. The Group ����������������������������������������������������������� following conditions are met:
-
��������������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������������������������� �����������������������������
-
���������������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������������� principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently �������������������������������������������������� and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses ��������������������������������������������������� �����������������������������������

II. IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
�������������������������������������������������������� assets are also provided in the following notes:

K. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Plant & equipment are measured on the cost basis less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Assets previously measured at valuation are now carried at deemed cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation.
I. DEPRECIATION
The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment including capitalised lease assets, is depreciated over the asset’s useful life commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:
==> picture [240 x 98] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
���������������������������� Depreciation Rate
Capital Work in Progress 0%
Plant & Machinery 4 – 50%
Leasehold Improvements 10 – 50%
Land & Buildings 0 – 8%
Motor Vehicles 16 – 50%
��������������������������� 20 – 100%
----- End of picture text -----
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater that its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income.
II. IMPAIRMENT
The carrying values of plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In ������������������������������������������������������������ discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount ���������������������������������������������������������� �����������������������������������������������������
For an asset that does not generate largely independent ������������������������������������������������������������ generating unit to which the asset belongs, unless the asset’s value in use can be estimated to be close to its fair value.
An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. The asset or cash generating unit is then written down to its recoverable amount. For plant and equipment, impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
L. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS
����������������������������������������������������������� of between 1 and 5 years with, in some cases, options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated.
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and, except where included in the cost of inventories, an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight- line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the consolidated entity expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.
The Group has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are ���������������������������������������
M. TRADE AND OTHER PAYABLES
Trade payables and other payables are carried at amortised costs and represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the ���������������������������������������������������������� becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months.
N. BORROWINGS – LEASE LIABILITIES
��������������������������������������������������������������� or an operating lease. A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership to the Group ���������������������������������
Finance leases are capitalised at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between ����������������������������������������������������������� to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised in ����������������������������������������������������������� �������������������������������������������������������������
���������������������������������������������������������� and loss in the period in which they are incurred.
III. DERECOGNITION AND DISPOSAL
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon �������������������������������������������������� expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising ����������������������������������������������������������� between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying ������������������������������������������������������������ and loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

O. PROVISIONS - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which ��������������������������������������������������������� �������������������������������������������������������������� are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.
����������������������������
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary ���������������������������������������������������������� be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
���������������������������������
The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the �������������������������������
�������������������������������������������
����������������������������������������������������� plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. The Company has no legal obligation to provide ������������������������������������
P. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the �������������������������������������������������������� the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash Flows are stated with the amount of GST included.
Q. COMPARATIVES
Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative ���������������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������
R. INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES AND JOINT ARRANGEMENTS
An associate is an entity, including an unincorporated ���������������������������������������������������������������� and that is neither a subsidiary, nor a joint arrangement. ��������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������� is not control or joint control over those policies.
An investment in an associate includes goodwill on acquisition, which is accounted for in accordance with the ������������������������������������������������������� However the entire carrying amount of the investment is ������������������������������������������������������������ comparing the carrying amount of the investment with its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value) ������������������������������������������������������������ standard indicates the investment may be impaired.
������������������������������������������������������ investment in associates is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of the associates’ net assets. The carrying value and the net book value of the investment in the associate are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realised in a current market exchange. Goodwill relating to the associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.
���������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������� comprehensive income of those investees is presented as part of the Group’s other comprehensive income. Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest in the associate are not recognised except to the extent that ����������������������������������������������������������� resulting from transactions between the Group and the ���������������������������������������������������������� to the extent of unrelated reporting entity’s interest in the associate. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
When necessary, accounting policies of associates are changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date the investment ceases to be an associate and from that date then accounts ���������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������ investment retained in the former associate is measured at fair value at the date that it ceases to be an associate.
��������������������������������������������������� investment in an associate is accounted for at cost less any allowance for impairment in value. Impairment loss ���������������������������������������������������������� only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying value and the net book value of an investment in the associate are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realised in a current market exchange.

A joint arrangement (that is either a joint operation or a joint venture, depending on the rights and obligations of the jointly controlling parties to the arrangement) is one in which the Group is a party to of which two or more parties have control. A joint arrangement exists when the parties have contractually agreed to share control of the arrangement whereby decisions about the ������������������������������������������������������������� the arrangement) require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. In a joint operation, the parties with joint control have rights to the assets, and obligations of the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group recognises its share of the operation’s assets, liabilities and income and expenses that are combined line by line with ������������������������������������������������������������� and accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses relating to its interest in the joint operation in ����������������������������������������������������������� for each particular asset, liability, revenue and expense. When the Group enters into a transaction with a joint operation, such as a sale or contribution of asset, the reporting entity recognises gains and losses resulting from such a transaction only to the extent of the other parties’ interests in the joint operation.
S. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
������������������������������������������������������ provided to employees. These transactions are awards of shares, or options, that are provided to employees in exchange for the rendering of services.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is independently determined using a valuation model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option, together with non-vesting conditions that do not determine whether the Group receives the service that entitle the employees to receive payment. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
The cost of equity-settled transactions are recognised as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity over ������������������������������������������������������� loss is calculated based on the grant date fair value of the award, the best estimate of the number of awards that are likely to vest and the expired portion of the vesting period. ����������������������������������������������������������� is the cumulative amount calculated at each reporting date less amounts already recognised in previous periods. Market conditions are taken into consideration in determining fair value. Therefore any awards subject to market conditions are considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition has been met, ���������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������� not been made. An additional expense is recognised, �������������������������������������������������������� that increases the total fair value of the share-based ���������������������������������������������������� If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or ���������������������������������������������������������
any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled ��������������������������������������������������������
T. PARENT ENTITY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
��������������������������������������������������������� Limited, disclosed in “Note 32: Parent entity information” on page 93 has been prepared on the same basis as ��������������������������������������������������������� below:
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted ������������������������������������������������������������ Dividends received from associates are recognised in the ��������������������������������������������������������� from carrying value of these investments.
U. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
��������������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������������� as at 30 June 2024 – refer to “Note 33” on page 94. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the ������������������������������������������������������������ �������������������������������������������������������������� an investee if, and only if, the Group has:
-
Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
-
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
-
������������������������������������������������������������ returns
Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
-
The contractual arrangement(s) with the other vote holders of the investee
-
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
-
The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights
The Group re-assesses 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. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated ����������������������������������������������������������� until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
�������������������������������������������������������� to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in

�������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������ statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses �������������������������������������������������������� of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, noncontrolling interest and other components of equity, while ���������������������������������������������������������������
Any investment retained is recognised at fair value.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the consolidated entity are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the consolidated entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated entity during the year, their operating ���������������������������������������������������������� was obtained or until the date control ceased.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as ������������������������������������������������������� consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the non-controlling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Non-controlling interest in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of ��������������������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������������� of the consolidated entity. Losses incurred by the consolidated entity are attributed to the non-controlling ����������������������������������������������������������������
Where the consolidated entity loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary ���������������������������������������������������� recognised in equity. The consolidated entity recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or �����������������������

���������������������������������������������������������� current assets and liabilities.
W. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Z. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired.
The consideration transferred is the sum of the acquisitiondate fair values of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the non-controlling interests in the acquiree is measured at either fair value or at the proportionate ����������������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������������������
On the acquisition of a business, the consolidated entity ��������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������� with the contractual terms, economic conditions, the consolidated entity’s operating of accounting policies and other pertinent conditions in existence at the acquisition date.
Where the business combination is achieved in stages, the consolidated entity remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date fair value ���������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������
Contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at the acquisition date fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration ��������������������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������������������������� remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
������������������������������������������������������ of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of any pre-existing investment in the acquiree is recognised as goodwill. If the consideration transferred and the pre-existing fair value is less than the fair value of the ����������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������� �������������������������������������������������������������� ���������������������������������������������������������� and measurement of the net assets acquired, the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, if any, the consideration transferred and the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquirer.
Business combinations are initially accounted for on a provisional basis. The acquirer retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognised and also recognises additional assets or liabilities during the measurement period, based on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition-date. The measurement period ends on either the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) when the acquirer receives all the information possible to determine fair value.
AA. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination, other than goodwill, are initially measured at their fair value at the date of the acquisition. Intangible assets acquired ������������������������������������������������������������� intangible assets are not amortised and are subsequently measured at cost less any impairment. Finite life intangible assets are subsequently measured at cost less amortisation ������������������������������������������������������������� or loss arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are �������������������������������������������������������� and the carrying amount of the intangible asset. The method ��������������������������������������������������������������� annually. Changes in the expected pattern of consumption or useful life are accounted for prospectively by changing the amortisation method or period.
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortised. Instead, goodwill is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired, and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. ���������������������������������������������������������� and are not subsequently reversed.
Customer contracts acquired in a business combination are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of their �����������������������������������������������������������
Goodwill and other intangible assets that have an ����������������������������������������������������������� are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that ������������������������������������������������������� reviewed 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.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use �������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������� to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset �������������������������������������������������������� are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.

NOTE 2: CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the group’s accounting policies.
This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in other notes together with information about the basis of ��������������������������������������������������������������������
A. KEY ESTIMATES
I. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
������������������������������������������������������� revenue is recognised in the consolidated income statement by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of each performance obligation.
For construction contracts, revenue is recognised using an input method based on project to date cost over total expected contract cost of the contract.
Fundamental to this calculation is a reliable estimate of the transaction price (total contract revenue). In determining the transaction price, variable consideration including claims and certain contract variations are only included to ������������������������������������������������������������� in revenue will not occur in the future. Where a variation in scope has been agreed with the customer but the corresponding change in the transaction price has not been agreed the variation is accounted for as variable consideration. The estimate of variable consideration is determined using the expected value approach taking into account the facts and circumstances of each individual contract and the historical experience of the Group and is reassessed throughout the life of the contract.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the contract is considered onerous and the present obligation under the contract is recognised immediately as a provision. Key assumptions regarding costs to complete contracts include estimation of labour, technical costs, impact of delays and productivity.
II. ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for expected credit losses assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. It is based on the lifetime expected credit loss, grouped based on days overdue, and makes assumptions to allocate an overall expected credit loss rate for each group. These assumptions include recent sales experience, historical collection rates and forward-looking information that is available. The allowance for expected credit losses, as disclosed in “Note 10” on page 76 is calculated based on the information available at the time of preparation. The actual credit losses in future years may be higher or lower.
III. IMPAIRMENT TESTING
The consolidated entity tests annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate impairment, ������������������������������������������������������ ������������������������������������������������������� the accounting policy stated in Note 1. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of assumptions, including estimated discount rates based on the current cost of capital and ���������������������������������������������������������� Note 17 for further information.
IV. RECOVERY OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible ����������������������������������������������������� considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be ������������������������������������������������������������

----- End of picture text -----
All revenue is currently derived in Australia and there is no single major customer for the year.
The Group is organised into four operating segments �������������������������������������������������� Mining & Industrial, Building & Facade and Energy. Other segments relate to Ports, Transport, Marine and Water. These operating segments are based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Managing ��������������������������������������������������� Decision Maker, ‘CODM’) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.
The principal services of each of the operating segments are as follows:
-
Defence – dedicated to the delivery of capital facilities, infrastructure and estate works program projects
-
Mining & Industrial – provision of tailored preventative maintenance programmes
The CODM reviews EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation). The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are ������������������������������������������������������������ Balance sheet data is not currently tracked or provided to the CODM at operating segment level therefore the breakdown is not disclosed.
-
����������������� – completion of facade condition assessments and facade restorations
-
Energy - non-defence capital facilities, remediation and refurbishment of critical assets

As of 30 June 2024, approximately $328m of revenue is expected to be recognised from remaining performance obligations (2023: $437m). We expect to recognise 93% of these remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, with the balance recognised thereafter (2023: 88%).
D. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN CONTRACT ASSETS & LIABILITIES
Changes in contract assets and liabilities are due to the stage of the projects in progress and the timing of invoicing.
Contract assets are transferred to trade receivables when the Group’s rights to consideration for work performed have become unconditional. This usually occurs when the Group issues an invoice in accordance with the contractual terms to the customer.
If the net amount of the Group’s rights to consideration for work performed after deduction of progress payments ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Of the contract liabilities balance of $35,727,000 at 30 June 2023, substantially all of this revenue has been recognised in the current year, while substantially all of the contract assets balance of $25,185,000 as at 30 June 2023 was invoiced in the current year.

Note 17: Intangible Assets continued…
���������������������������������������������������������� estimate of the time value of money and the group’s weighted average cost of capital adjusted for WPF, the risk free rate and the volatility of the share price relative to market movements.
The entire goodwill balance noted above relates to the acquisition of WPF Duratec Pty Ltd (WPF) in 2023. The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired in accordance with accounting policy AA. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Management believes at this stage the conservative projected revenue growth rate used for impairment testing is prudent and have no reason to revise this estimate based on current performance.
The recoverable amount of goodwill and other intangible assets are determined based on value in use of WPF as a cash generating unit (CGU). The value in use ������������������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������������� period, together with a terminal value. At 30 June 2024 ��������������������������������������������������
Based on the above, the recoverable amount of WPF CGU exceeded the carrying amount by $28.2m.
Management have made judgements and estimates in respect of impairment testing of goodwill. Should these judgements and estimates not occur the resulting goodwill carrying amount may decrease. The sensitivities are as follows:
Key assumptions are those to which the recoverable amount of an asset of cash-generating unit is most sensitive.
- WPF CGU Revenue would need to decrease by more than 26% in FY2026 before goodwill would need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.
The following key assumptions were used in the ��������������������������������������������
-
11.95% pre-tax discount rate;
-
The discount rate would be required to increase from 11.9% to 24.9% before goodwill would need to be impaired, with all other assumptions remaining constant.
-
3.60% per annum projected revenue growth rate which is a conservative growth rate used for the purposes of the impairment testing
Management believe that any reasonable possible change in key assumptions on which the recoverable amounts of the WPF CGU is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount.
- 3.60% per annum increase in operating costs and overheads
������������������������������������������������� extrapolated using a steady 1.1% per annum growth rate.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS
����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Recognition of Revenue
Refer to Note 4����������������������������
The Group’s largest source of revenue is derived from construction services and services contracts.
Construction services and services contracts revenue is recognised by management after assessing all factors ������������������������������������������������������������ the following as applicable:
-
Estimation of total contract revenue and costs, including the estimation of cost contingencies;
-
Determination of contractual entitlement and assessment of the probability of customer approval of variations and acceptance of claims;
-
Determination of the stage of completion and measurement of progress towards performance obligations; and
-
Estimation of project completion dates.
The above determinations will also impact on account balances such as contract assets and liabilities.
We determined this area to be a key audit matter due to the number and type of estimation events over the course of the contract life, the unique nature of individual contract conditions, leading to complex and judgmental revenue recognition from contracts.
Our audit procedures included:
-
Assessing contractual terms with customers and substantiating project revenues and costs incurred against underlying supporting documents;
-
Assessing management’s assumptions in determining the stage of completion, total contract revenue and total estimated costs;
-
Checking the mathematical accuracy of revenue recognised during the year based on the stage of completion;
-
Reading customers and subcontractor correspondence and discussing the progress of projects with project managers for any potential disputes, variation order claims, known technical ��������������������������������������������������� estimated contract costs;
-
Discussing the rationale for revisions made to estimated costs with project personnel and management and checking explanations to supporting documentation;
-
Challenging management’s assessment and testing the reasonableness of the provision for foreseeable losses; and
-
Challenging the judgements made by management in estimating the expected credit loss relating to contract assets.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
Refer to Note 17����������������������������
The carrying amount of goodwill and customer relationships are $4,452,000 and $9,416,000 respectively. Management has performed an impairment test on the recoverability of the goodwill as required by Australian Accounting Standards.
We determined this area to be a key audit matter due to the size of the goodwill and customer relationships balance and because the directors’ assessment of the value-in-use of the cash generating unit (CGU) ���������������������������������������������������� ����������������������������������������������������������� the business and the discount rate applied
Our audit procedures included:
-
Assessing management’s determination that the goodwill should be allocated to one CGU;
-
Assessing the valuation methodology used to determine the recoverable amount of goodwill and the CGU’s customer relationships, property plant and equipment and right of use assets;
-
Challenging the reasonableness of key assumptions, ������������������������������������������������������ growth rates, the discount rates and sensitivities used;
-
Reviewing management’s sensitivity analysis over the key assumptions used in the model;
-
Checking the mathematical accuracy of the value-inuse model and reconciling input data to supporting evidence, such as approved budgets and considering the reasonableness of these budgets; and
-
Reviewing the appropriateness of disclosures in the ���������������������
