## Suitability for the current role

### Finance and commercial role followed by company-secretary responsibilities [steven_bowler_fit]

2020–2026 · analyst inference · medium materiality

Carnaby disclosed in May 2023 that Bowler had been Accountant and Commercial Manager since 2020 and appointed him Joint Company Secretary effective immediately; its FY2023 report records 8 May 2023 and FY2026 report lists him as company secretary. The available profile identifies Curtin University attendance but does not substantiate a degree or qualification.

**Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. The appointment announcement directly establishes corporate roles and ASX communications responsibilities; detailed finance credentials and prior career remain unverified.

**Relevance:** The company-secretarial role fits his disclosed accounting/commercial position, but evidence of formal governance credentials and outcomes is thin.

## Evidence gaps

- The accessible profile does not state a degree, professional accounting designation, institute membership or course completion.

- Prior employers and full chronology before Carnaby are not established.

- No independent company-secretary professional credential or discipline-registry check completed.

- A same-name 2026 UK criminal story was excluded because no identifying link to this Perth professional was found; identity resolution is based on employer and location clues, not exhaustive checking.

- No comprehensive court, ASIC, sanctions, criminal-record, safety or environmental register screening was conducted.
