our response (con’t)
We discussed the areas of potential or suspected breaches
of law, including the ongoing investigation, with the Audit
Committee and the Board as well as the Group’s legal
advisers and assessed related documentation.
We assessed whether the disclosure in note 23 to the
Financial Statements of the Group’s exposure to the
financial effects of potential or suspected breaches of law
or regulation complies with accounting standards and in
particular whether it is the case that the investigation
remains at too early a stage to assess the consequences (if
any), including in particular the size of any possible fines.
