181 Note 29.8 Financial risk management (continued) c) Management of credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty fails tomeet its contractual obligations. Trade receivables Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the customer base being large, diverse and across sectors and countries. A portion of trade receivables are secured by insurance policies or Export Credit Guarantee Corporation schemes. All trade receivables are reviewed and assessed for default on a quarterly basis. Historical experience of collecting receivables of the Company is supported by low level of past default and hence, the credit risk is perceived to be low.
