These SSAPs prescribe new accounting measurement
and disclosure practices. The major effects on the
Group’s accounting policies and on the amounts
disclosed in these financial statements of adopting
these SSAPs which have had a significant effect on the
financial statements are summarised as follows:
SSAP 1 prescribes the basis for the presentation of
financial statements and sets out guidelines for their
structure and minimum requirements for the content
thereof. The principal impact of the revision to this
SSAP is that a consolidated statement of changes in
equity is now presented on pages 50 to 51 of this
Annual Report in place of the consolidated statement
of recognised gains and losses that was previously
required and the Group reserves’ note.
