Other required reporting
Consistency of other information
Under ISAs (UK and Ireland) we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:
• Information in the Annual Report 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 and Company acquired in the course of performing our audit; or
– otherwise misleading.
We have no exceptions to report.
• The statement given by the directors, in accordance with provision C.1.1 of the Code, that
they consider the Annual Report taken as a whole to be fair, balanced and understandable
and provides the information necessary for members to assess the Group’s and Company’s
position and performance, business model and strategy is materially inconsistent with our
knowledge of the Group and Company acquired in the course of performing our audit.
We have no exceptions to report.
• The section of the Annual Report, as required by provision C.3.8 of the Code, describing the
work of the Audit Committee does not appropriately address matters communicated by us
to the Audit Committee.
We have no exceptions to report.
The directors’ assessment of the prospects of the Group and of the principal risks that would threaten the solvency
or liquidity of the Group
Under ISAs (UK and Ireland) we are required to report to you if we have anything material to add or to draw attention to in relation to:
• the directors’ confirmation in the Corporate governance report, in accordance with provision
C.2.1 of the Code, that they have carried out a robust assessment of the principal risks facing
the Group, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance,
solvency or liquidity.
We have nothing material to add
or to draw attention to.
• the disclosures in the Annual Report that describe those risks and explain how they are being
managed or mitigated.
We have nothing material to add
or to draw attention to.
• the directors’ explanation in the Viability statement, in accordance with provision C.2.2 of
the Code, as to how they have assessed the prospects of the Group, over what period they
have done so and why they consider that period to be appropriate, and their statement as
to whether they have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in
operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over the period of their assessment, including
any related disclosures drawing attention to any necessary qualifications or assumptions.
We have nothing material to add
or to draw attention to.
Under the Listing Rules we are required to review the directors’ statement that they have carried out a robust assessment of the
principal risks facing the Group and we have also reviewed the statement that the directors have made in relation to the longer-term
viability of the Group. Our review was substantially less in scope than an audit and only consisted of making enquiries and considering
the directors’ process supporting their statements; checking that the statements are in alignment with the relevant provisions of the
Code; and considering whether the statements are consistent with the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing our
audit. We have nothing to report having performed our review.
Adequacy of accounting records and information and explanations received
Under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 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 Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been
received from branches not visited by us; or
• the Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.
We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.
Corporate governance statement
Under the Listing Rules of the UK FCA we are required to review the part of the Corporate governance statement relating to the
Company’s compliance with ten further provisions of the Code. We have nothing to report having performed our review.
