Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' 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 elected to prepare
the 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 company and of the group and of the profit or loss of the 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 applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject
to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial
statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group 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
comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
