The Board is responsible for capital management. This involves the use of cash flow forecasts to determine future capital requirements. Capital management is undertaken to ensure a secure, cost-effective and flexible supply of funds is available to meet the Group’s operating and capital expenditure requirements. The Company does not have any debt facilities and is not subject to any external capital requirements. Surplus funds are invested in a cash management account and are available as required. Financial liabilities of the Group at balance date are trade and other payables. Trade and other payables are unsecured and usually paid within 30 days of recognition. 47 Sunstone Metals Limited Annual Report 2022 SUNSTONE METALS LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2022
