- Companies continue to be conerned about maintaining and improving their internal controls regimes
- The quality of internal controls information is patchy
- There is a general feeling of "governance fatigue" within the Australian corporate community
- There is interest in third-party information on "softer" issues such as governance, culture and sustainability.
