Statement of directors' responsibilities in respect of the report and accounts

The directors are responsible for preparing the report and accounts 2022, 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 they are required
to prepare the group financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted
International Accounting Standards (International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS')) and applicable law and have elected to prepare the parent
company financial statements on the same basis.

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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable, relevant and
reliable

-     state whether they have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted
International Accounting Standards (IFRS)

-     assess the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern

-     use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend
to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.

 

The 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.

They are responsible for such internal controls as they determine are
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and 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.

Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also responsible for
preparing a strategic report, directors' report, directors' remuneration
report and corporate governance statement that comply with that law and those
regulations.

The 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.

 

Responsibility statement of the directors in respect of the report and
accounts

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

-     the strategic report and directors' report include 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 the report and accounts, 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.

 

By order of the board

Paul Stockton

Group Chief Executive Officer
