Statement of Directors' responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report
and the Group and parent company financial statements in accordance
with applicable law and regulations. The names and functions of the
Directors are listed on pages 61, 62 and 68 of the Annual
Report.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and parent
company financial statements for each financial year. Under that
law they are required to prepare the Group financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)
as adopted by the European Union (EU) and applicable law and have
elected to prepare the parent company financial statements on the
same basis.
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 parent company and of
their profit and loss for that period. In preparing each of the
Group and parent company financial statements, the Directors are
required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable, relevant and reliable;
- state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU;
- 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 comply 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.
Responsibility statement of the Directors in respect of the
annual financial report
We confirm that to the best of our 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; and
- the Strategic report includes a fair review of the development
and performance of the business and the position of the issuer and
the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole,
together with a description of the principal risks and
uncertainties that they face.
We consider 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's position and
performance, business model and strategy.
