Executive summary

Compliance posture against King V rose from 54% to 68% this quarter, driven by the adoption of the board charter, completion of the enterprise-wide risk assessment, and the ethics programme rollout. Ten of twelve governance domains are now on track or developing. Two matters need the board's attention: remuneration governance remains critical with the remuneration policy still undrafted ahead of the AGM, and environment & climate reporting has not yet been assessed. Three decisions are requested at item 6.

Needs board attention

Remuneration governance is critical, 25%

The remuneration policy and implementation report required for the November AGM are not yet drafted, and the remuneration committee has no adopted charter.

Exposure: non-compliant AGM (shareholder votes on policy and report cannot be tabled); reputational and governance-rating impact with lenders.

CFODraft policy by 30 Sep

AI in use without an approved AI use policy

Credit-scoring models are in production while the AI oversight test fails. A draft policy is attached as Annexure B for adoption.

Exposure: credit-scoring decisions without documented human oversight, direct King V AI-governance disclosure failure and POPIA automated-decision risk.
