Agreed. But if the directors achieve these by breaching their Corps Act responsibility to act in the interests of shareholders, then it'd be ridiculous for them to profit from it. It is 100% illegal for a company director to act in their own interests or the interests of a third party over the interests of shareholders. We still try to line up these interests, and that's the point of things like performance shares (it's called "positive accounting theory), but it isn't a perfect system, and when directors act contrary to the interests of shareholders to benefit themselves, it is a breach of their fiduciary responsibilities. Revenue based targets are fine. But the idea is to drive growth (and therefore company value) for the benefit of shareholders in a win/win.

In this circumstance, it is alleged that JK and co deliberately entered contracts that had little to no benefit to shareholders for the purposes of achieving revenue based targets. If this is found to be the case, the directors have deliberately increased their own shareholdings by diluting their shareholders, without increasing the value of the company. Again, if this is found to be true, it is both unethical and illegal.

"And who is to define what is "ordinary revenue"?"

IAS18. It's a global standard.

good luck proving that in court, nearly impossible. 90% of asx listed companies including those that work for the ASX do exactly the same thing.....welcome to the boys club and we aint in it.

I'm a shareholder and happy with JK to keep the shares as his wealth creation will contribute to my wealth creation. This is the game and he has played it fairly.

if you have a conscience, you would be better off writing to your parliamentarians to try and prosecute the banks and the asx who in my eyes are the biggest criminals. why waste your time on this thread......I bet we know why
