The Capita Group Plc (the "Company") 25 August 2010
Circular regarding the change of Auditor
Capita's Board of Directors has appointed KPMG Audit Plc ("KMPG") as Auditor for The Capita Group Plc.
As Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") had been the Group's Auditor since Capita's floatation in 1984, the Board felt it was time to review the audit services required to support Capita. In agreement with the Audit Committee, the Board decided that it was appropriate to put the Capita Group audit out to competitive tender and KPMG was successful in this process.
Pursuant to section 520(2) of the Companies Act 2006, a circular has today been posted to the shareholders of the Company for information only in relation to the statutory statement received from E&Y in connection with their resignation as the Company's Auditor. The resignation follows the Company's competitive process for the selection of an audit firm.
The circular and Auditors' statement are available on the Company's website ( www.capita.co.uk), in the `Downloads' section accessed via the top right of the homepage, and will shortly also be available for inspection at the UK Listing Authority's Document Viewing Facility, which is situated at:
