Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report
and Accounts (group and parent company), including the Directors'
report on remuneration and the financial statements, in accordance
with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare group and parent
company financial statements for each financial year. Under that
law the directors have prepared the group financial statements in
accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and
applicable law and have elected to prepare the parent Company
financial statements in accordance with UK accounting standards and
applicable law, including FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework.
Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial
statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the group and the Company and of
the profit or loss of the group and the Company for that period. In
preparing these financial statements, the directors are required
to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable, relevant, reliable and prudent;
- for the group financial statements, state whether they have
been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international
accounting standards;
- for the parent Company financial statements, state whether
applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to
any material departures disclosed and explained in the parent
Company financial statements;
- assess the Group and parent Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern; and
- use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either
intend to liquidate the group or the parent Company or to cease
operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the parent
Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any
time the financial position of the parent Company and enable them
to ensure that its financial statements comply with the Companies
Act 2006.
They are responsible for such internal control as they determine
is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are
reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the group and to
prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also
responsible for preparing a Strategic Report, Directors' Report,
Directors' Remuneration Report and Corporate Governance Statement
that complies with that law and those regulations.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the corporate and financial information included on the
Company's website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation
and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.
Each of the directors who held office at the date this report
was approved, whose names and functions are listed in the Board of
directors section, confirm that, to the best of their
knowledge:
- the financial statements, prepared in accordance with the
applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view
of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss
of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation
taken as a whole.
- the strategic report includes a fair review of the development
and performance of the business and the position of the Company and
the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole,
together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that they face.
On the advice of the Audit Committee, the Board considers that
the annual report, as a whole, is fair, balanced and
understandable, and provides the information necessary for
shareholders to assess the group's position, performance, business
model and strategy.
In the case of each director who held office at the date this
report was approved:
(a) so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit
information of which the group's and company's auditors are
unaware; and
(b) they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken
as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant
audit information and to establish that the group's and company's
auditors are aware of that information.
