In addition to his influence in the crypto world, Frank also serves as a Fintech advisor to the London Bullion Metals Association (LBMA).
Jason Dukowski has also joined NetCents as an Independent Director. He is a seasoned finance, risk, and compliance executive with over 20 years of experience in government and corporate operations, information and privacy legislation, business continuity, change management strategies, and risk mitigation. Throughout his career, Jason has consulted and provided leadership to businesses in the areas of governance, compliance, risk management, anti-money laundering, and financial planning.
As an entrepreneur and business owner, Jason has maintained a robust client-base. In previous roles, Mr. Dukowski provided unparalleled advice, and implementation strategy to his clients.
As the Company’s new Independent Director, Jason will apply his expertise in risk, compliance, and government policy to further develop NetCents’ risk assessment approach, and compliance strategies.
Jason holds a BA from the University of British Columbia and regularly volunteers for the Veterans Memorial Housing Society as treasurer.
“We are thrilled to have both Frank and Jason join us as Independent Directors at NetCents,” stated Clayton Moore, Founder and CEO of NetCents Technology. “Their unique career experiences have brought great success to multiple organizations. It’s clear to me that their new roles will be pivotal in helping to position NetCents for significant future triumphs.”
With all of the recent additions to our team, NetCents continues to evolve on several fronts. With this in mind, the Company would also like to provide an update with respect to filing its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and related officer certifications for the financial year ended October 31, 2020.
Over these past few weeks, the NetCents Accounting Department has continued to work diligently to provide its auditors with all required information. The Company has also implemented several internal changes to help eliminate delays in the future. NetCents is pleased to announce that it has retained Branson & Co to supplement its internal accounting staff for current and future accounting tasks.
Despite the unexpected delay in filing its year-end audit, the Company continues to cultivate and grow an engaged merchant base. On an operational level, NetCents has maintained its focus on successfully implementing an omnichannel sales and marketing approach. The onboarding of new merchants has only accelerated in the past few months, and new strategic relationships continue to develop. In addition to these efforts, Management has launched a new roadmap for global growth, looking to expand the Company’s geographic footprint beyond North America and Europe.
The Company is looking forward to the completion of the audit process, and the resumption of trading on all previous markets.
