This excerpt taken from the ELN 6-K filed Mar 30, 2007. Respective
Responsibilities of Directors and Auditors
The directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual
Report and the financial statements in accordance with
applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as adopted by the EU are set out in the Statement of
Directors’ Responsibilities on page 55.
Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in
accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and
International Standards on Auditing (United Kingdom and Ireland).
We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial
statements give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs as
adopted by the EU and have been properly prepared in accordance
with the Companies Acts 1963 to 2006 and Article 4 of the
IAS Regulation. We also report to you whether, in our opinion:
proper books of account have been kept by the company; whether
at the balance sheet date, there exists a financial situation
requiring the convening of an extraordinary general meeting of
the company; and whether the information given in the
Directors’ Report is consistent with the financial
statements. In addition, we state whether we have obtained all
the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of
our audit, and whether the parent company financial statements
are in agreement with the books of account.
We also report to you if, in our opinion, any information
specified by law or the Listing Rules of the Irish Stock
Exchange regarding directors’ remuneration and
directors’ transactions is not disclosed and, where
practicable, include such information in our report.
We review whether the Corporate Governance Statement reflects
the company’s compliance with the nine provisions of the
2003 Combined Code specified for our review by the Listing Rules
of the Irish Stock Exchange, and we report if it does not. We
are not required to consider whether the board’s statements
on internal control cover all risks and controls, or form an
opinion on the effectiveness of the group’s corporate
governance procedures or its risk and control procedures.
We read the other information contained in the Annual Report and
consider whether it is consistent with the audited financial
statements. The other information comprises only the Financial
Review, the Operating Review and Directors’ Report. We
consider the implications for our report if we become aware of
any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the
financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any
other information.
