In 2016, the Company sought to acquire two other companies. However, issues arose in respect of the acquisition, with the result that the Company could not confirm whether it had in fact been completed. The directors above had failed to establish adequate internal controls in the Company to ensure that relevant documentation in respect of the acquisition was obtained or retained. This led to a full impairment in respect of the acquisition of over $100 million, and a significant loss for the Company.
Key messages:
Directors have clear duties and responsibilities to ensure that appropriate and effective internal control systems are established and maintained.
