Every asx listed company engages lawyers, often several different firms, for all sorts of reasons, but few announce it as a feature. And a company cannot "outsource its responsibility". You can only outsource advice.

Typically you should be compliant from day one, and when you want to try something new, you may need to get advice on whether it is allowable and how to do it. You then follow that advice. Same with accounts. The treatment of revenues and expenses shouldn't be changing on a regular basis. You don't need to consult lawyers weekly for this stuff if you are competant.

BIG have engaged a new company secretary who has corporate governance experience. The company directors should have that experience as well if they are directors of a listed company. That's part of the job requirement. Its what everyone else does. But hey, a partner of DLA Piper will happily advise you for $800+/hr of shareholders money for as long as you want.

This is a problem that happens when you have a twentysomething CEO and a company founder with a history of not following the rules (as per the previous company).

As an analogy, imagine you walk into hospital to check on a dear friend who has been in a nasty incident. You can't find out any information, but they say "don't worry, we have engaged the best brain surgeon available to deal with the issue"

Whether that makes you comforted or worried depends on what you thought was wrong in the first place.

Thats rediculous.

Sit back and wait for the ASX / ASIC response and the actual fugures.

Thats all that matters here at the moment.

I, for one, am happy that they now have the people and companies on board to ensure their house is tidy.

It seems to me that some posters on here will find issues in anything BIG do - regardless of what it is.

I will be judging BIG on the ASX and ASIC reaponses, the half yearly results and any announcements made before relisting.

Anything else is pure speculation and to be honest - speculation has been done to death on this forum.
