Statement of Trustees, res onsibilities The Trustees are responsible for preparing the annual Trustees, Report and Financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its income and application of resources for that period. In preparing these statements the Trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently .obSer￿e the methods and principles n the Charities SORP; make judgments 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 charity will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities. Signed on behalf of the Trustees S.J. Robertson Trustee July 2024 Helen Robertson Charitable Trust Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the Helen Robertson Charitable Trust In connection with my examination of the Accounts for the year ended 5 April 2024 no matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011 and to prepare Accounts which accord with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met, or which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be reached.
