Dixons Carphone plc Annual Report and Accounts 2014/15
Financial statements
Independent Auditor’s report
80
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion:
• the part of the Directors' Remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies
Act 2006; and
• the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements
are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Adequacy of explanations received and accounting records
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
• adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been
received from branches not visited by us; or
• the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.
Directors’ remuneration
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are also required to report if in our opinion certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration
have not been made or the part of the Directors’ Remuneration report to be audited is not in agreement with the accounting
records and returns. We have nothing to report arising from these matters.
Corporate Governance statement
Under the Listing Rules we are also required to review the part of the Corporate Governance statement relating to the company’s
compliance with 10 provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code. We have nothing to report arising from our review.
Our duty to read other information in the Annual Report and Accounts
Under International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland), we are required to report to you if, in our opinion, information in the
Annual Report and Accounts is:
• materially inconsistent with the information in the audited financial statements; or
• apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, our knowledge of the Group acquired in the course
of performing our audit; or
• otherwise misleading.
In particular, we are required to consider whether we have identified any inconsistencies between our knowledge acquired
during the audit and the directors’ statement that they consider the annual report is fair, balanced and understandable
and whether the Annual Report and Accounts appropriately discloses those matters that we communicated to the Audit
Committee which we consider should have been disclosed. We confirm that we have not identified any such inconsistencies
or misleading statements.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditor
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors’ responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit and express an
opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland).
Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. We also comply with
International Standard on Quality Control 1 (UK and Ireland). Our audit methodology and tools aim to ensure that our quality
control procedures are effective, understood and applied. Our quality controls and systems include our dedicated professional
standards review team and independent partner reviews.
This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act
2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to
state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for
the opinions we have formed.
