Directors’ responsibility statement
The directors are responsible for both the preparation and integrity of the consolidated and separate financial statements and related financial information contained in the IAR. In their opinion, the consolidated and separate financial statements fairly represent the Company‘s and the Group‘s financial position and results of operations. It is the responsibility of the independent auditor to report on the consolidated and separate financial statements. Their report to the members of the Company is set out in the Independent auditors report. In order for the directors to discharge their responsibility, the Group maintains adequate accounting systems, risk control procedures and accounting records. A system of internal control, focused on critical risk areas and designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, and that the risk of error, fraud or loss is reduced in a cost-effective manner, has been implemented. All controls are frequently monitored and subject to review and audit. There was no material breakdown in the system of internal control during the year under review.
The Group adopts appropriate accounting policies and the consolidated and separate annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, No 71 of 2008 of South Africa (“Companies Act”). The consolidated and separate financial statements incorporate full and meaningful disclosure, and have been prepared using reasonable and proven judgements and estimates.
