As of 30 September 2008, the organisation converted from a statutory government owned company (GOC) to a company GOC and was renamed QIC Limited. Our ACN is 130 539 123. Our ABN is 95 942 373 762.
Our regulatory environment
QIC Limited is a company government owned corporation (GOC) constituted under the Queensland Investment Corporation Act 1991 (Qld) (QIC Act). QIC is regulated by Queensland State Government legislation pertaining to GOCs (Government Owned Corporations Act 1993) (GOC Act) in addition to the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act).
QIC does not hold an Australian Financial Services (AFS) licence and certain provisions (including the financial product disclosure provisions) of the Corporations Act do not apply to QIC. However, QIC does operate wherever practicable as if it were licensed and we have adopted key compliance and governance policies to operate on a consistent level to that of licensed institutions. QIC uses a number of subsidiaries to conduct our investment activities. These entities are not exempt from any part of the Corporations Act and, where required, hold AFS licences.
QIC is also an approved (by the Irish Central Bank) investment manager, promoter and distributor of Irish Qualifying Investment Fund (QIF) products and UCITS products.
Our shareholders
As a Queensland GOC, QIC’s shareholding Ministers are the Honourable Andrew Fraser MP, Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for State Development and Trade, and the Honourable Rachel Nolan MP, Minister for Finance, Natural Resources and The Arts. QIC reports to shareholding Ministers and regularly liaises with the Office of Government Owned Corporations (OGOC).
QIC prepares an annual Statement of Corporate Intent (SCI) and a Corporate Plan for our shareholding Ministers’ approval. Both of these documents are based on comprehensive strategic planning and budgeting processes. The SCI is a formal performance contract between QIC and our shareholding Ministers, detailing our proposed undertakings and target performance for the year ahead. The SCI is tabled in Parliament as an accompaniment to this annual report.
Our Corporate Plan is a review of current and future operational strategies and QIC is responsible for meeting forecast profits as detailed in the plan. Corporate performance against planned outcomes is regularly monitored and reported to the Board, and quarterly status reports are provided to our shareholding Ministers.
QIC liaises regularly with OGOC to inform our shareholding Ministers on various matters as required by the QIC Act, the GOC Act and other government guidelines. QIC aims to provide our shareholding Ministers with the information they need to make informed assessments of the operations, financial performance and financial position of QIC and its subsidiaries.
