Auditor’s independence declaration
The Directors received an independence declaration from the auditor, Ernst & Young. A copy has been included
on page 17 of the report.
Provision of non-audit services by external auditor
During the year the external auditors, Ernst & Young, provided non-audit services to the Group, totalling $85,000.
The Directors through the Audit Committee are of the opinion that the provision of non-audit services has not
compromised the independence of the auditors.
$46,000 was paid for additional attendance at stocktakes during the year, and $39,000 was paid for the provision
of accounting advice. This advice was general in nature, relating to the interpretation and potential application of
accounting standards. Brickworks management has been responsible for selecting, applying and calculating all
impacts of accounting standards on the Group’s financial statements.
The details of total amounts paid to the external auditors are included in note 5 to the financial statements.
Proceedings on behalf of the Company
No person has applied for leave of Court to bring proceedings on behalf of the Company or 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 any part of those proceedings.
The Company was not a party to any such proceedings during the year.
Indemnification of Directors and officers
The Company’s Rules provide for an indemnity of Directors, executive officers and secretaries where liability is
incurred in connection with the performance of their duties in those roles other than as a result of their negligence,
default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the Company. The Rules further provide for an indemnity
in respect of legal costs incurred by those persons in defending proceedings in which judgment is given in their
favour, they are acquitted or the Court grants them relief.
Since the end of the previous financial year, the Company has paid insurance premiums in respect of Directors’
and officers’ liability. The insured persons under those policies are defined as all Directors (being the Directors
named in this Report), executive officers and any employees who may be deemed to be officers for the purposes
of the Corporations Act 2001.
Rounding of Amounts
The Company has applied the relief available to it under ASIC Class Order 98/100 and accordingly, amounts in
the financial report and Directors’ report have been rounded off to the nearest $1,000 where allowed under that
class order.
Made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors at Sydney.
Dated 25 September 2008.
