Directors’ Report INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE OF AUDITOR PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY NON-AUDIT SERVICES OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY WHO ARE FORMER AUDIT PARTNERS OF RSM BIRD  CAMERON PARTNERS ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION AUDITOR For personal use only The Company has not, during or since the financial year, indemnified or agreed to indemnify the auditor of the  Company or any related entity against a liability incurred by the auditor. During the financial year, the Company has not paid a premium in respect of a contract to insure the auditor of  the Company or any related entity. No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings  on behalf of the Company, or to intervene in any proceedings to which the Company is a party for the purpose of  taking responsibility on behalf of the Company for all or part of those proceedings. Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the financial year by  the auditor are outlined in note 37 to the financial statements. The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the financial 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 note 37 to the financial statements do not compromise  the external auditor’s independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: •  all non-audit services 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 APES  110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and 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 rewards.
