Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities in Respect of the Annual Report and the Financial Statements
Te 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. As required by the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange they are required to prepare the Group Financial Statements in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU and applicable law and have elected to prepare the parent company Financial Statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 or 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 judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; • For the Group Financial Statements, state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU; • For the parent company Financial Statements, state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements; and
• Prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and the parent company will continue in business.
Te 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. Tey 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.
Te 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.
