What is a Appendix 4G - Key to Disclosures - Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations (fourth edition) form

Appendix 4G is a form that serves as a key to the Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations, fourth edition. It is used by ASX-listed entities to disclose their compliance with the corporate governance principles and recommendations set out in the fourth edition.

The fourth edition of the Principles and Recommendations sets out the best practices for corporate governance that ASX-listed entities are encouraged to follow. These practices relate to areas such as board composition and structure, risk management, remuneration, and shareholder engagement.

When an ASX-listed entity submits its Appendix 4G form, it is providing a comprehensive disclosure of its corporate governance practices, including how it has applied the principles and recommendations set out in the fourth edition. This disclosure helps investors and other stakeholders evaluate the entity's approach to corporate governance and make informed decisions about investing or doing business with the entity.

For example, a publicly traded company may use Appendix 4G to disclose its corporate governance practices to its shareholders and potential investors. This may include information about the composition and structure of its board of directors, its risk management policies, how executive remuneration is determined, and how it engages with its shareholders. By providing this information, the company is demonstrating its commitment to transparency and accountability in its corporate governance practices.
