All trustees give of their time freely and no trustee received any remuneration. ## **Policies** The trustees provide public benefit by carrying out the principal activities of the trust, and the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when planning their activities for the year. ## **Risk management** The trustees have considered the risks which the charity may face and are satisfied that adequate contingency plans appropriate to the size of the organisation are in place to lessen the effect of such risks. ## **THE MICAIAH TRUST** TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) ## **Trustees' responsibilities** The Charities Act requires the trustees to prepare in respect of each financial year financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the trust and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the activities of the Trust will continue. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
