Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report
and Accounts, including the Directors' Remuneration Report and the
financial statements in accordance with applicable law and
regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial
statements for each financial year. 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 the parent company financial statements in
accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards 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 the company and of
the profit or loss of the company and group 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 accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-- state whether IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and
applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to
any material departures disclosed and explained in the group and
parent company financial statements respectively;
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will
continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the company and the group 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. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets
of the company and the group 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 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 a company's
performance, business model and strategy.
Each of the directors, whose names and functions are listed in
the Board of directors section confirm that, to the best of their
knowledge:
-- the group financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU, give a true and fair
view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of
the group; and
-- the strategic report includes a fair review of the
development and performance of the business and the position of the
group, together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that it faces.
In accordance with Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006, each
of the directors who held office at the date this report was
approved confirms that:
(a) so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit
information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and
(b) he/she has taken all the steps that he/she ought to have
taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any
relevant audit information and to establish that the company's
auditors are aware of that information.
