Director and executive remuneration
At all times, we endeavour to ensure our remuneration practices balance IAG’s performance objectives while remaining in step with community and shareholder expectations. Stability in our remuneration structure is important; however, where modifications can be made to better achieve this balance, they will be actively considered and implemented. The remuneration structure for IAG’s executive team is summarised below:
| REMUNERATION COMPONENT | STRATEGIC PURPOSE | |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed Remuneration | ||
| Cash |
|
|
| At Risk Remuneration | ||
| Cash Short term incentive (STI) |
|
|
| Deferred Short term incentive (STI) |
|
|
| Long term incentive (LTI) |
|
|
During the 2011 financial year, the IAG board undertook the following initiatives:
- actively monitored compliance against the APRA standards covering the governance of remuneration to ensure appropriateness of the Group’s remuneration policy;
- met with APRA to discuss good governance and IAG’s approach to remuneration;
- updated deferred STI and LTI terms to provide the board with discretion to adjust rewards downwards to protect the financial soundness of the Group in circumstances where the board determines an adjustment is necessary to ensure that an inappropriate reward outcome does not occur; and
- engaged remuneration consultants from PricewaterhouseCoopers to review the executive remuneration strategy in line with market practice and governance requirements.
The board is confident these changes support IAG’s aim to ensure remuneration practices are in step with community and shareholder expectations and our aim to improve financial and operational results.
The tables below provide a summary of the remuneration received/receivable during the financial year by IAG directors and executives. Detailed information is contained in IAG’s 2011 annual report, available online at www.iag.com.au/results.
