Corporate Governance

Board Composition and Performance

Te Ohu Kai Moana Trustee Limited is the controlling shareholder of Moana New Zealand and is responsible for appointments to the Board. The Board has statutory responsibility for the affairs and activities of Moana New Zealand. Directors are required to monitor, direct, and control the activities of Moana New Zealand and to ensure a high standard of corporate governance is exercised in the interests of the Company and shareholders.

The Board considers the annual business plan prior to the begining of the financial year in order to determine the annual targets. The Board also sets the direction of Moana New Zealand by agreeing objectives and approving strategies. It is the role of the Chief Executive Officer and senior management to develop the strategy and manage the day-today operations.

Code of Corporate Governance

As required by our constitution the Board has implemented a Code of Corporate Governance (incorporating a Code of Ethics). This code reflects accepted best practice among companies listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

The guiding principles upon which the Company Governance Code is based, includes integrity and accountability. A clear understanding of moral and ethical responsibilities and strict observance of these obligations will assist Moana New Zealand in gaining support from Iwi and other stakeholders for the Company’s strategies.

The following is a summary of the sections from the Moana New Zealand Corporate Governance Code:

Board Composition and Performance

The Board represents a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience, and perspectives ensuring Moana New Zealand works effectively.

During the course of the year the Board has guided the direction of Moana New Zealand and provided oversight to management at a strategic level.

Ethical Standards

Directors have demonstrated and fostered ethical standards as required by the Code and acted honestly and in good faith.

Relationships with Iwi

Directors have ensured that Moana New Zealand uses its best endeavours to work co-operatively with Iwi, consistent with the requirement of the Māori Fisheries Act to manage Moana New Zealand assets in a commercial manner.

Stakeholder Interests

The Board respects the interests of all stakeholders within the context of Moana New Zealand’s special type of ownership and its fundamental purpose.

Reporting and Disclosure

Accountability is a principal incentive for good corporate governance and the Board demands integrity both in financial reporting and in the timeliness and level of disclosure.

Auditor

The Board ensures the integrity, objectivity and independence of the external audit process.

Risk Management

The Board annually reviews that Moana New Zealand has appropriate policies and processes that identify and manage all potential and relevant risks.

Remuneration

Remuneration of executives is transparent, fair, and reasonable.

Board Committees

The Board uses committees in key areas where this enhances Moana New Zealand’s overall effectiveness while retaining full Board responsibility for all governance decisions.

Three Committees to assist and enhance the Board’s stewardship in three key areas – financial integrity and business risk, Health and Safety and executive remuneration.

The Committees make recommendations to the full Board on all matters requiring a decision.

Health and Safety Committee

The Health and Safety Committee has written terms of reference, and its activities are reviewed by the full Board.

The Health and Safety Committee assists the Board in health and safety policy and planning, delivering an effective system, and monitoring and reviewing the performance.

The Health and Safety Committee met on five occasions during the year. The members were: Rachel Taulelei (Chair), Mavis Mullins, Greg Summerton and Jamie Tuuta.

Audit and Risk Committee

Written terms of reference guide the activities of the Audit and Risk Committee and these activities are reported to and reviewed by the full Board. Directors who are not members of the Audit and Risk Committee receive all Committee papers and may attend meetings.

The Audit and Risk Committee assists the Board in financial reporting compliance and meeting its responsibilities under the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993. The Audit and Risk Committee also reviews the work and findings of the external auditor, Deloitte Limited.

The Auditor has direct access, via the Chair, to the Committee and Deloitte Limited attend the Audit and Risk Committee meetings. Prior written approval of the Board is required before the external auditor is able to perform any non-external audit work.

This decision is based on a review of the appropriateness of engaging the external auditor for the specified non-audit work as opposed to Moana New Zealand carrying out the work in-house or through other external parties.

The Auditor did not carry out any non-audit work during the year. The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the adequacy of internal controls and insurance policies. Moana New Zealand has an ongoing internal audit programme to assist in ensuring performance is robust.

A good cross section of commercial, accounting and finance experience is provided by Directors of the Audit and Risk Committee, who met on four occasions during the year.

The members were: Tony Hannon (Chair), Glenn Hawkins, Dylan Lawrence, Rachel Taulelei and Jamie Tuuta.

People and Culture Committee

The People and Culture Committee has written terms of reference and its activities are reviewed by the full Board.

The People and Culture Committee is responsible for setting and reviewing the remuneration of the CEO and executive management as well as overseeing remuneration policies and practices at all levels of management.

The People and Culture Committee met three times during the year. The members were:
Mavis Mullins (Chair), Tony Hannon, Rachel Taulelei and Dylan Lawrence.

Quota management system terminology

Quota Management System (QMS)

The QMS was introduced in 1986 to manage and conserve New Zealand’s commercial fisheries. It is based on the concept of creating property rights in Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ) and ensuring sustainability by setting an annual limit on total commercial catches from each fish stock.

Individual Transferable Quota (ITQ)

ITQ was allocated for all main inshore and deepwater fisheries, and today 98 species, or groups of species, are managed as 642 separate fish stocks under the QMS. The quota allocated for each fish stock is in perpetuity, and is measured in a fixed number of quota shares. Quota owners are able to buy, sell and lease their quota or catch rights, and to choose the method and the time of year they harvest their catches within these limits.

Annual Catch Entitlement (ACE)

At the beginning of each fishing year, quota owners are entitled to ACE generated from their quota shares. The ACE gives a right to harvest a specified quantity of a fish stock in an area for one year. ACE varies from year to year depending on the Total Allowable Commercial Catch (TACC) level set by the Minister of Primary Industries.

Total Allowable Catch (TAC)

The TAC is the total regulated catch from a fish stock in a given time period, usually a year, and is allocated to commercial, customary and recreational fishers. This catch limit is set by the Minister of Primary Industries after consultation with fishers, and is generally set at the maximum sustainable yield.

Total Allowable Commercial Catch (TACC)

The proportion of the TAC allocated to commercial fishers is known as the TACC.

Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY)

MSY is the largest average catch or yield that can continuously be taken from a fish stock each year without depleting that stock.

Deemed Values

Deemed values are civil payments made to the Crown as a defence for landing catch of QMS species for which the individual fisher holds no ACE. They are designed to act as an incentive for fishers to obtain ACE which matches their catch for each fishing year.
