Commonwealth Bank full-year profit climbs by 8 percentto$7.67 billion
The Commonwealth Bank’s annual profit has climbed to a new record of$7.67billion. Australia’s biggest bank says its earnings for the 2012-13 financial year increased by 8 percent. The result is within the range anticipated by analysts.
But the bank’s overall revenue was down by5 percent to $44.87 billion dollars. It has increased its final dividend to
$2 per share, taking its total full-year dividend to $3.64.
In a statement released to the share market, CBA chief executive Ian Narev says he expects business conditions to remain mixed this financial year.
“Our primary areas of economic focus are the level of confidence of Australian business and households, the impact of economic conditions in China on the demand and price for resources, the value of the Australian dollar and the resultant impact on export-sensitive parts of the Australian economy and the stability of funding markets,” he said.
“Indicators relating to all of these factors have been mixed over the past six months, and we expect that to remain the case in the near term.”
Mr Narev expects business and consumer confidence to improve after next month’s federal election.
“We need an election of a government from either side of politics with a clear majority that can layout a very clear and very inspiring picture of the economy,” he said during an analyst briefing.
“There should be a lift in both business and household confidence if that picture can be outlined and people can get a clear picture of how these forces will affect the economy in the short, medium and long term.”
The value of CBA shares fell after the announcement.
At11am(AEST) they had dropped by1.4 percent to $73.51.
Retail banking revenue rises, business banking drops
Income from CBA’s retail banking division increased by 13 percent for the year, but business and private banking revenue fell by 3 percent.
There was also higher revenue from the company’s wealth management and institutional banking divisions. Income from CBA subsidiary Bank west increased by 6 percent to $561 million.

Nature and extent of this responsibility and liability of directors
$37.50by Fiverr Tutors“It can be argued that the district trend over may years has been the development, in statute and in case before the courts, of law and decisions which impose an increasingly heavy burden on directors in the performance of their duties and obligations to the company. As a result directors who fail to observe these duties and obligations will be exposed to significant liabilities and penalties.’
Reflect on the above statement and then discuss the nature and extent of this responsibility and liability of directors to the company. Your discussion should include an analysis of the nature, application and effectiveness of the range of duties of directors under the Corporations Act. In addition, you may also give some considerations to the relevant duties of directors at common law, by way of background and critical comparison. you should extend your discussion well beyond a mere description of the principles.
You should use section numbers and case authorities to support your arguments, and if possible illustrate with examples of contemporary cases before the courts. You should use a range of secondary authorities (books and articles).
