. 

## **Statement of Trustee's responsibilities** 

The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements to each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Society and of the surplus or deficit of the Society for that period.  In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to : 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Society.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Society and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
