## Governance and interests

### Finance appointment dates require reconciliation [vijay-nair_date]

2010–2011 · issuer reported · medium materiality

Nickel’s annual report says mining-operations CFO since 1 July 2010; its undated leadership page says chief financial controller for Indonesian operations from October 2011. The differing roles and dates have not been reconciled.

**Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. The records could refer to different positions; no misstatement or misconduct is inferred.

**Relevance:** The dates affect chronology rather than a finding of wrongdoing.

## Evidence gaps

- Independent confirmation of credentials and complete employment dates remains incomplete.

- Targeted open-web searches are limited; original court, regulator, prior-employer and Indonesian-language records were not exhaustively obtained.

- The issuer leadership page is undated; exact role continuity at the evidence cutoff is not independently confirmed.

- CFO date in annual report versus controller appointment in the undated website remains unreconciled.

- His Tamaya employment dates, duties and overlap with the company’s 2008 insolvency are unverified.
