  1. Remove the Auditors Reports:
    1. Open the
      FRS 102 Consolidated Financial Statements
       report from the Reports List.
    2. Find the 2
      Independent Author's Reports
       in the Report Structure.
    3. Right-click on the 1st
      Independent Author's Report
      , then select
      Display
       and
      Never
      .
      This will clear the box next to the folder in the Report Structure.
    4. Repeat the previous step for the 2nd
      Independent Author's Report
      .

    Cover Page
     folder of the report:

      Properties
      .

       tab.
    3. Delete all the text in the
      XML Source
       window.
    4. Download the following ZIP file: DAPA group cover page unaudited.
    5. Extract the contents of the ZIP file and paste the code from
      dapa-group-cover-page-unaudited.txt
       into the
      XML Source
       window.
    6. Make sure that the following a message appears in the
      XML Source
       window:
      Report template is syntactically correct
      .
    7. Select
      OK
       to save your changes.

       report.
      note
      The templates you need to copy are as follows.

    2. When you've copied over the 4 templates, right-click each one, then select
      Display
       and
      Always
      .
  5. Remove the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities Introduction template:
