Directors’ Report
Auditor’s independence declaration and non-audit services The Directors have received an independence declaration from the auditors, a copy of which is on page 76.
Non-audit services
Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the year by the auditor are outlined in section 2 of the financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services, during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001. The Directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in section 2.6 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Board Audit Committee, for the following reasons: • All non-audit services comply with the ClearView audit independence policy and have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and • None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 ‘Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants’ issued by the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and reward. Annual Corporate Governance Statement ClearView is committed to achieving high corporate governance standards. In accordance with the 4th edition ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations, the Company’s annual Corporate Governance Statement, as approved by the Board, is published and available on the Company’s website at: clearview.com.au/governance .
