Directors' statement of responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Group financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare Group financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors are required to prepare Group financial statements under IFRS as adopted by the European Union. Detailed below are statements made by the directors in relation to their responsibilities, disclosure of information to the Group's auditors, going concern and management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

Financial statements and accounting records

Under company law the directors must not approve the Group financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group at the end of the financial year and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.

In preparing the Group financial statements, the directors are required to:

 
-  Present fairly the financial position, financial 
    performance and cashflows of the Group 
-  Select suitable accounting policies in accordance 
    with IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting 
    Estimates and Errors and then apply them consistently 
-  Present information, including accounting policies, 
    in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable 
    and understandable information 
-  Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable 
-  Provide additional disclosures when compliance with 
    the specific requirements in IFRS as adopted by 
    the European Union is insufficient to enable users 
    to understand the impact of particular transactions, 
    other events and conditions on the Group's financial 
    position and financial performance 
-  State whether the Group financial statements have 
    been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted 
    by the European Union 
 

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group, and enable them to ensure that the Group financial statements comply with the Act and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. They are also responsible for the system of internal control, for safeguarding the assets of the Group and, hence, for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are also responsible for preparing the strategic report, directors' report, including the directors' remuneration report and the corporate governance report, in accordance with the Act and applicable regulations, including the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Group's corporate website.

Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Directors' statement of responsibility under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules

The Board confirms to the best of its knowledge:

 
-  The financial statements, prepared in accordance 
    with International Financial Reporting Standards 
    as adopted by the EU, give a true and fair view 
    of the assets, liabilities, financial position and 
    profit or loss of the Group 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 Group and the undertakings included 
    in the consolidation taken as a whole together with 
    a description of the principal risks and uncertainties 
    that they face 
 

Directors' statement under the UK Corporate Governance Code 2014

The Annual Report and Financial Statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's position and performance, business model and strategy.

Disclosure of information to the auditor

Having made the requisite enquiries, so far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by section 418(3) of the Act of which the Group's auditor is unaware and the directors have taken all the steps they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Group's auditor is aware of that information.
