DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT
OF RESPONSIBILITY AND
APPROVAL
OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors are responsible for the preparation and integrity of the consolidated and separate annual financial statements of the company and other information included in this report that has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
The directors, supported by the Audit and Compliance Committee, are of the opinion, based on the information and explanations given by management and the internal auditors and on comment by the independent external auditors on the results of their statutory audit, that the company’s internal accounting controls are adequate, so that the financial records may be relied upon for preparing the financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets and liabilities. The directors believe that the company’s assets are protected and used as intended in all material respects with appropriate authorisation. Nothing has come to the attention of the directors to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures and systems has occurred during the year.
In preparing the financial statements, the company has used appropriate accounting policies, supported by reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates, and has complied with all applicable accounting standards. The directors are of the opinion that the financial statements fairly present the financial position of the company at 31 March 2016 and the results of its operations for the year then ended. The directors are also of the opinion that the company will continue as a going concern in the year ahead.
The independent external auditors concur with the above statements by the directors.
The company’s independent external auditors, Deloitte & Touche, have audited the financial statements and their unqualified report appears here.
The annual financial statements were approved by the board of directors on 26 May 2016 and are signed on its behalf by:
