The epicentre is the point on the surface of the earth directly above the focus - where the earthquake actually happens. The focus is calculated by using data from multiple seismogpaphs around the world as well as locally, which will enable the focus to be pin-pointed. It is fairly approximate, but is always accurate, to the extent that you can say the very village where the Haitian earthquake began. From knowing the focus, the epicentre is then also calculated.
