EFFECTIVE AUDIT AND RISK MANAGEMENT Financial Reporting The Board aims to present a balanced, clear and meaningful assessment of the Group’s financial performance and position, and prospects in presenting the annual financial statements and quarterly reports as well as announcements to Bursa Securities. The Board is assisted by the ARMC in reviewing the Group’s financial reporting processes and accuracy of its financial results, and scrutinising information for disclosure to ensure compliance with applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the CA 2016. Internal Control The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility for maintaining a sound system of internal controls to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the Group’s assets. However, the Board recognises that such system is structured to manage rather than eliminate the possibility of encountering risk of failure to achieve corporate objectives. The Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control is set out on pages 69 to 74 of the Annual Report 2024 providing an overview of the state of internal controls, risk management framework and internal audit function within the Group.
