Independent Auditor’s Report
to the Members of ITE Group plc
We have audited the parent company financial statements of ITE Group plc for the year ended 30 September 2012 which
comprise the Parent Company Balance and the related notes 1 to 10. The financial reporting framework that has been
applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice).
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies
Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are
required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit
work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditor
As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the
parent company financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. Our responsibility is to audit
and express an opinion on the parent company financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International
Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical
Standards for Auditors.
Scope of the audit of the financial statements
An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give
reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error.
This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the parent company’s circumstances
and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made
by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-
financial information in the annual report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements. If we
become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.
Opinion on financial statements
In our opinion the parent company financial statements:
––
give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 30 September 2012 and of its profit for the year
then ended;
––
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
––
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion:
––
the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the
Companies Act 2006; and
––
the information given in the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is
consistent with the parent company financial statements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you
if, in our opinion:
––
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not
been received from branches not visited by us; or
––
the parent company financial statements and the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited are not in
agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
––
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
––
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Other matter
We have reported separately on the group financial statements of ITE Group plc for the year ended 30 September 2012.
