Statement of Directors' responsibilities in respect of the
Annual Report and Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report
and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and
regulation.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial
statements for each financial 52 week period. Under that law the
Directors have prepared the Group financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
as adopted by the European Union and Group financial statements in
accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101
Reduced Disclosure Framework, and applicable law). 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 Company and of the profit or loss of
the Group and Company for that period. In preparing the financial
statements, the Directors are required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-- state whether applicable IFRSs as adopted by the European Union have
been followed for the Group financial statements and United
Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101, have been
followed for the Company financial statements, subject to any
material departures disclosed and explained in the financial
statements;
-- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company
will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group and
Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any
time the financial position of the Group and Company and enable
them to ensure that the financial statements and the Directors'
remuneration report comply with the Companies Act 2006 and, as
regards the Group financial statements, Article 4 of the IAS
Regulation.
The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets
of the Group and Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for
the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the Group and Company's website. Legislation in the United
Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial
statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The Directors consider that the Annual Report and accounts,
taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable and provides
the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group and
Company's position and performance, business model and
strategy.
Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed in
the Directors' report confirm that, to the best of their
knowledge:
-- the Group financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, give a true
and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and
profit of the Group; and
-- the Annual Report includes a fair review of the development
and performance of the business and the position of the Group and
Company, together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that it faces.
In the case of each Director in office at the date the
Directors' report is approved:
-- so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit
information of which the Group and Company's auditors are unaware;
and
-- 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 and Company's
auditors are aware of that information.
