Statement of Directors' responsibilities
The Directors are required by UK company law to prepare the Annual Report, the Report on Directors’ remuneration and the financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at the end of the financial year and of the profit and loss of the Group for that period.
The Directors confirm that suitable accounting policies have been used and applied consistently, and that reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates have been made in the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2008. The Directors also confirm that the financial statements comply with IFRS as adopted by the European Union and have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, for safeguarding the assets of the Company and of the Group, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
A copy of the Annual Report and accounts of the Company is placed on the AEA Technology plc website. The maintenance and integrity of the website is the responsibility of the Directors and the work carried out by the auditors does not involve consideration of these matters. Accordingly, the auditors accept no responsibility for any changes that may have occurred to the financial statements since they were initially presented on the website.
Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
