Introduction

==> picture [279 x 95] intentionally omitted <==

Kina Securities Limited and its related entities ( Kina , or the Kina Group , or the Group , or the Company ) places great emphasis on the continued development of a strong corporate governance, risk management and compliance culture. In an emerging market place, Kina seeks to be innovative as well as provide a safe and secure environment for its customers and clients, which in turn brings value to shareholders.

The Board of Directors of Kina Securities Limited (the Board ) is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Kina Group, including adopting appropriate policies and procedures designed to ensure that Kina is properly managed to protect and enhance shareholder interests.

The Board monitors the operational and financial position and performance of Kina and oversees its business strategy, including approving the Company’s strategic goals and considering and approving business plans, key governance, risk and operational policies and the annual budget.

Kina has a well-developed corporate governance framework and practices for the operation and management of Kina, which incorporates resilient internal controls, risk management processes and governance policies and practices. The Board monitors adherence to this framework which enables the Group to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards set down by the Bank of Papua New Guinea ( BPNG ), the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ), PNG’s National Stock Exchange ( PNGX ), the PNG Companies Act 1997 ( Companies Act ), PNG Securities Act and the Australian Corporations Act 2011 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ).

  • (4) the members of the committee; and

Recommendation 7.2

The board or a committee of the board should:

  • (a) review the entity’s risk management framework at least annually to satisfy itself that it continues to be sound and that the entity is operating with due regard to the risk appetite set by the board; and

  • (b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether such a review has taken place.

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.

The Committee is supported by a number of approved risk management committees, including the Credit Committee, Asset and Liability Committee and Executive Committee. The Operational Risk division nurtures a strong and robust risk culture within the Group through the application of the three lines of defence model.

Communication and education throughout the Group on the three lines of defence model emphasises each individual’s role in the management of risk. During 2020, 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. Operational risk within the Group is monitored including an ongoing 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 ).

Kina has also employed skilled credit managers who have an understanding of the PNG economic environment to ensure that the growing loan portfolio is maintained within an acceptable level of risk and within Kina’s agreed risk appetite.

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

Recommendation 7.3

A listed entity should disclose:

  • (a) if it has an internal audit function, how the function is structured and what role it performs; or

  • (b) if it does not have an internal audit function, that fact and the processes it employs for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of its governance, risk management and internal control processes.

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.

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 whilst managing its impairment exposure.

These pages of our ☐ annual report: This URL on our ☒ https://investors.kinabank.com.pg/Investors/?page=corporate-governance website:

The Corporate Governance Statement is accurate and up to date as at 23 April 2021 and has been approved by the board.

The annexure includes a key to where our corporate governance disclosures can be located.[3]

Date: 23 April 2021 Name of authorised officer Chetan Chopra authorising lodgement:

1 “Corporate governance statement” is defined in Listing Rule 19.12 to mean the statement referred to in Listing Rule 4.10.3 which discloses the extent to which an entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during a particular reporting period.

Listing Rule 4.10.3 requires an entity that is included in the official list as an ASX Listing to include in its annual report either a corporate governance statement that meets the requirements of that rule or the URL of the page on its website where such a statement is located. The corporate governance statement must disclose the extent to which the entity has followed the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council during the reporting period. If the entity has not followed a recommendation for any part of the reporting period, its corporate governance statement must separately identify that recommendation and the period during which it was not followed and state its reasons for not following the recommendation and what (if any) alternative governance practices it adopted in lieu of the recommendation during that period.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.4, if an entity chooses to include its corporate governance statement on its website rather than in its annual report, it must lodge a copy of the corporate governance statement with ASX at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The corporate governance statement must be current as at the effective date specified in that statement for the purposes of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

Under Listing Rule 4.7.3, an entity must also lodge with ASX a completed Appendix 4G at the same time as it lodges its annual report with ASX. The Appendix 4G serves a dual purpose. It acts as a key designed to assist readers to locate the governance disclosures made by a listed entity under Listing Rule 4.10.3 and under the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations. It also acts as a verification tool for listed entities to confirm that they have met the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 4.10.3.

The Appendix 4G is not a substitute for, and is not to be confused with, the entity's corporate governance statement. They serve different purposes and an entity must produce each of them separately.

2 Tick whichever option is correct and then complete the page number(s) of the annual report, or the URL of the web page, where your corporate governance statement can be found. You can, if you wish, delete the option which is not applicable.

3 Throughout this form, where you are given two or more options to select, you can, if you wish, delete any option which is not applicable and just retain the option that is applicable. If you select an option that includes “OR” at the end of the selection and you delete the other options, you can also, if you wish, delete the “OR” at the end of the selection.
