To the best of each Director’s knowledge and belief there is no information relevant to the preparation of the auditor's report of which the Group’s auditor is unaware; and
Each Director has taken all the steps a Director might reasonably be expected to have taken to make him or herself aware of relevant audit information and to establish that the Group’s auditor is aware of that information.
