The Companies Act, 1965 (“the Act”) requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board, and the provisions of the Act and the MMLR, and to lay these before the Company at its Annual General Meeting.

The Directors are responsible for ensuring that the financial statements provide a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2016 and of their financial performance and cash flows for the financial year ended 31 December 2016.

The Act also requires the Directors to keep such accounting and other records in a manner that enables them to sufficiently explain the transactions and financial position of the Company and the Group and to prepare true and fair financial statements and any documents required to be attached, as well as to enable such accounting records to be audited conveniently and properly.

In undertaking the responsibility placed upon them by law, the Directors have relied upon the Group’s system of internal control to provide them with reasonable grounds to believe that the Group’s accounting records, as well as other relevant records, have been maintained by the Group in a manner that enables them to sufficiently explain the transactions and financial position of the Group.

This also enables the Directors to ensure that true and fair financial statements and documents required by the Act to be attached are prepared for the financial year to which these financial statements relate.

Incorporated on pages 85 to 190 of this Annual Report are the financial statements of the Group and the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2016.
