Directors' Responsibility

Isle of Man Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and Group as at the end of the financial period and to the profit or loss of the Company and Group for that period.

In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:

  • Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
  • Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company and Group will continue in business;
  • Provide additional disclosures when compliance with specific requirements of IFRS is insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity’s financial position and financial performance.

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any at any time the financial position of the Company and Group, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Acts 1931 to 2004. They are also responsible for the system of internal control, for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Company and Group website. Legislation in the Isle of Man governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements differs from legislation in other jurisdictions.
