Each of the directors, as at the date of this report, confirms that:
-- the Group and parent company financial statements in this Annual Report, which have been prepared in accordance with applicable UK law and with the applicable set of accounting standards, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the Group; and

Our risk management framework
The Board has overall responsibility for ensuring that we manage our risk exposure appropriately to achieve our strategic objectives and build sustainable shareholder value.
The Board determines our risk appetite and monitors and reviews the risk management processes we operate. The Board delegates responsibility for implementing and monitoring internal controls and other elements of risk management to the Chief Executive and the Executive Committee. The Board has also tasked its committees with responsibility for key areas of risk, as follows:
>> oversight of financial reporting, internal financial controls and assurance processes - the Audit Committee;
>> succession risk - the Nominations Committee; and >> remuneration and incentive structure risk - the Remuneration Committee
Our risk appetite
In determining our risk appetite, the Board considers a number of factors including our strategic opportunities, the risks that could affect our business and our ability to mitigate their impact. Our risk appetite, the nature and level of risk we are prepared to accept to achieve our strategic objectives, is divided into three categories: prudent, balanced and receptive.
How we approach risk management
Across the Group we operate a "top-down, bottom-up approach" to risk management which is illustrated below. This approach allows the Board and the senior leadership team to actively assess strategic risks and monitor the measures used to mitigate, transfer or avoid such risks. It also ensures that operational risks are identified and managed at multiple levels and that key risk information is communicated effectively across the Group.
Our risk management process is embedded in all our businesses. It provides guidance on how to identify, evaluate and manage risks which could impact our performance and our ability to implement our strategy.

Our principal risks
The principal risks facing the Group are shown in order of priority in the table below. This analysis covers how each risk could impact our strategy and explains what we are doing to monitor and mitigate each risk area.
The Group is also exposed to broader financial market risks, in particular, currency exchange rate volatility following the Brexit referendum. A description of these risks and our centralised approach to managing them is described in Section 4.4 of the financial statements.
