Statement of Directors / Trustees Responsibilities


The Directors/Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the Directors/Trustees are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The Directors/Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity at any time and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

So far as each of the Directors/Trustees are aware, as at today's date, there is no relevant audit information of which the auditors are unaware; and that they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves and the auditors aware of any relevant audit information.
