Additional information
The following information is extracted from the 2022 Annual Report (page references are to pages in the 2022 Annual Report) and should be read in conjunction with the Quilter plc 2022 Full Year Results announcement issued on Wednesday 8 March 2023. Both documents can be found at plc.quilter.com/investor-relations and together constitute the material required by DTR 6.3.5 to be communicated to the media in unedited full text through a Regulatory Information Service. This material is not a substitute for reading the 2022 Annual Report in full.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Directors have carried out a robust assessment of the principal and emerging risks facing Quilter, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency and liquidity, as well as those risks that are non-financial in nature. The articulation of these principal risks and uncertainties is consistent with Quilter's Enterprise Risk Framework categorisation, and with the 'Top Risk' reporting that is provided quarterly to the Board Risk Committee and Board.
The Board requires management to put in place actions to mitigate these risks, and controls to maintain risk exposures within acceptable levels defined by Quilter's risk appetite. Since 2021, improvements in the risk exposure associated with Information Technology, Information Security, Change Execution, Third Party and Operational Resilience has seen them removed from the table below. The table below sets out Quilter's principal risks and uncertainties, including Executive Committee member ownership and key mitigants being implemented by management. The risk trend noted is the residual risk trend (risk after the application of mitigants) during 2022.

Statement of Directors' responsibilities in respect of the Annual Report and the financial statements
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the Group and Parent Company financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare Group and Parent Company financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the Directors have prepared the Group financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and the Parent Company financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards. Additionally, the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules require the Directors to prepare the Group financial statements in accordance with international financial reporting standards as adopted by the United Kingdom.
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 the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-- state whether, for the Group and Company, applicable UK-adopted international accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-- state whether, for the Parent Company, applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Parent Company will continue in business.
The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and Parent Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and irregularities.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group's and the Parent Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and Parent Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements and the Directors' Remuneration Report comply with the Companies Act 2006.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Parent Company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom 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 Report and financial statements
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 that the Annual Report, 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.
