NAB interim group chief executive and chairman-elect, Philip Chronican said the board had increased rigour in assessing performance across customer, risk, people transformation and financial goals.

He said that while underlying business performance for 2019 was solid, the bank had not achieved benchmarks on some financial and non-financial results, including taking into account the impact of substantial provisions for customer remediation.
