CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATIONUNCERTAINTYIn the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, management is requiredto make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities thatare not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based onhistorical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from theseestimates.The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accountingestimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period,or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.Key sources of estimation uncertaintyThe following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertaintyat the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carryingamounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.Impairment of goodwillDetermining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generatingunits to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate thefuture cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order tocalculate present value.Fair value of derivatives and other financial instrumentsAs described in notes 19 and 31, the valuation techniques applied by the external valuers for financialinstruments not quoted in an active market have been agreed with the directors.
