The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to credit risk arises primarily from trade and other receivables and contract assets. For other financial assets (including other investment and cash and bank balances), the Group minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high credit rating counterparties. In respect of credit risk arising from the inability of customers of the Group to make payments when their receivables fall due, it is the Group’s policy to provide credit terms to creditworthy and reputable customers. These receivables are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that issues arising from non-collectability are minimised. The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period.
