It is part of the board's oversight role to oversee the establishment and implementation of the risk management system, and to review the effectiveness of the company's implementation of that system. The Board has overall responsibility to manage the impact of significant business risk by ensuring that adequate management policies, procedures and controls are in place. Due to the size of the company it does not have a Risk sub-committee of the Board nor does it have an internal audit function.
The Risk Management Policy has been adopted by the board. Indo Mines is exposed to risks as a listed public company. Indo Mines uses appropriate internal controls and formulation of, and adherence to, risk management policies appropriate for its risks as an independent corporate entity. The following is a listing of the material risks facing the company.
compliance risk
environmental risk
financial commitments risk
occupational health and safety
native title risk
opportunity identification risk
reputation risk
market risk
Management will identify, assess, monitor and manage material risk throughout the company.
External audits are conducted by independent parties. The incumbent auditor is Maxim Audit. Maxim have been the Company's auditor since incorporation. The current partner was appointed in 1997. Maxim have only a single audit partner, therefore no policy of audit partner rotation is possible.
Indo Mines recognises and supports the fundamental principle of maintaining auditor independence. Indo Mines has a policy controlling the provision of non-audit services by the auditors. Auditors are not prohibited from supplying non-audit services provided those services are subject to independent approval from the Board.
