| Company law requires
the Directors to
prepare financial
statements for each
financial year which
give a true and
fair view of the
state of affairs
of the Company and
the Group at the
end of the period,
and of the profit
or loss of the Group
for that period.
In preparing financial
statements, the
Directors are required
to: |
- select suitable
accounting policies
and then apply
them consistently;
- make judgements
and estimates
that are reasonable
and prudent;
- state whether
applicable accounting
standards have
been followed,
subject to any
material departures
disclosed and
explained in
the financial
statements;
and
- prepare the
financial statements
on the going
concern basis
unless it is
inappropriate
to assume that
the Company
will continue
in business.
|
| The Directors
are responsible
for keeping proper
accounting records
which disclose with
reasonable accuracy
at any time the
financial position
of the Company and
to enable them to
ensure that the
financial statements
comply with the
Companies Act 1985.
They are also responsible
for the safeguarding
of the assets of
the Company and
for taking reasonable
steps for the prevention
and detection of
fraud and other
irregularities. |
| |
| The maintenance
and integrity of
the J Sainsbury
plc website is the
responsibility of
the Directors; the
work carried out
by the auditors
does not involve
consideration of
these matters and,
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 United Kingdom
governing the preparation
and dissemination
of financial statements
may differ from
legislation in other
jurisdictions. |
