The Company has not disclosed exact details of the remuneration of its key management personnel as it is not in the best interests of the Company and the employees to disclose such details due to the sensitive nature of such information. The annual aggregate remuneration paid to the top 3 management personnel of the Company (who are not directors or the Chief Executive Officer) for FY2020 is S$1,114,727. No termination, retirement and post-employment benefit were granted to any Director, the CEO or any top five key management personnel for the year ended 31 March 2020. There is no employee of the Group who is an immediate family member of a director or substantial shareholder and whose remuneration exceeds S$50,000 for the financial year ended 31 March 2020. Principle 9: Risk Management and Internal Controls The Board is responsible for the governance of risk and ensures that management maintains a sound system of risk management and internal controls to safeguard the interests of the Company and its Shareholders. The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the overall internal control framework, but recognises that no cost effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities, as a system is designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can provide only reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. The Group's internal controls and systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the integrity and reliability of the financial information and to safeguard and maintain accountability of its assets. The Audit Committee through the assistance of external auditors, reviews and reports to the Board on the adequacy of the Company's system of controls including the maintenance of proper accounting records, the reliability of financial information, compliance with appropriate legislation, regulation and best practice, and the identification and management of business risks. The Board has reviewed the adequacy of the Group's internal controls framework in relation to financial, operational, compliance and information technology controls as well as risk management systems of the Group. The Board, with the concurrence of the Audit Committee, is of the view that the Group's internal controls addressing financial, operational, compliance and information technology risk as well as the Group's risk management systems are effective and adequate as at 31 March 2020 to provide reasonable assurance of the integrity, effectiveness and efficiency of the Company in safeguarding its assets and Shareholders' investments. Such framework serves to provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement or loss. The internal controls environment also ensures the Group's maintenance of proper accounting records, compliance with applicable regulations, best practices and timely identification and containment of financial, operational and compliance risks. The Audit Committee is also satisfied that there was no material internal control deficiencies identified. 19
