Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 december 2010 • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised costs and fair value. The basis for classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. The guidance in IAS 39 on impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting continues to apply. • IFRS 9 will become mandatory for the Group’s 2014 financial statements and is not expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements. 4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POICIES Overview The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: (a) Credit risk; (b) Liquidity risk; and (c) Market risk. This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight the Group’s risk management framework. The finance department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and investing excess liquidity. The Board of Directors oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. (a) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. Trade and other receivables The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Customers that fail to meet the Group’s benchmark creditworthiness may transact with the Group only on a prepayment basis. The Company has a stringent debt provisioning policy that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments. The main component of this allowance of specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures. The Group also manages the level of credit risk by focusing on customer satisfaction as a key performance indicator. It also maintains a short credit period. Due to the nature of the Group’s activities, credit risk concentrations are high and as such close monitoring of credit relationships is carried out. X 30 SAMEER Annual Report 2010 2009
