Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors of Racing to School for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company and charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless ii is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation;
-
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any lime the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They 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.
Statement as to disclosure of inf�rmation to auditors
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the lime when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:
-
so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware, and
-
that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any information needed by the company's auditor in connection with preparing its report and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.
Auditor
The auditor, James Cowper Kreston, was appointed as the charitable company's auditors during the year and has indicated its willingness to continue in office. The designated Trustees will propose a motion re-appointing the auditor at a meeting of the Trustees.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 27 September 2022 and signed on their behalf by:
Michael Andrews Chairman of the Trustees
