Independent Report
KPMG has performed an independent review and has concluded that BUSSQ’s current directors and officers are fit and proper, and that, with the exception of an area where recommendations have been made, the CFMEU connected expenditure decisions are consistent with the sound and prudent management of BUSSQ’s business operations.
The Trustee was required by APRA to appoint an independent third party to conduct a review into the fitness and propriety, policies and processes of BUSSQ’s directors and officers, and whether certain expenditure connected with the CFMEU QLD/NT was made for the sound and prudent business operations of BUSSQ, having regard to the best financial interest’s duty.
BUSSQ Board of Trustees Chair, Chris Taylor, said,
“We welcome the report's positive findings into the Board’s overall compliance in these areas, which come as no surprise. Strong governance practices have been a focus for this Board since I became Chair three years ago. We will continue to make improvements, as we’ve always done, to ensure our governance practices meet the high expectations of our members and the regulators.”
Damian Wills, BUSSQ CEO, added,
“KPMG’s independent review has confirmed that the Trustee has appropriate policies, processes and practices in place for the sound and prudent management of the funds operations. Some recommendations have been made, as we expected, to further improve processes, practices and documentation, and these will be addressed in our uplift plan, which will be published soon.”
