REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 |
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The law applicable to companies and charities in England and Wales requires the trustees/directors to prepare financial statements for the financial year which give a true and fair view of the activities carried out during the year and its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing the financial statements the trustees/directors should follow best practice and: |
- 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; |
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue to operate. |
The trustees/directors are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the applicable accounting standards. The trustees/directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
